Seems okay-ish if it removes all the AI slop and spam quickly. The mods already have the technical power to dictate things, so this rule change just make their actions tie more closely to their management reputation

The blog also stated that FUTO repeatedly gave money to other FOSS projects without following proper process for institutional sponsors, and stick their names onto their front page.

Aside from that, their own projects are source-available at best.

Building a new way does not adequately means giving up on developer verification. In the last paragraph, Google is also promoting the verification for non-GPlay developers.

Out of all possibilities in this universe, there may be a chance that these new flows include user verification instead of developer.

There should also be a rule to rephrase "sideloading" as "installing from non-Google-approved sources" at this point.

What would you say is a good on-device filtering solution? I guess this would require locally MITM the TLS stuff does it?

Something like uBO for outside the browser would be nice

 

Hi all,

I've opted to use another VPN provider due to costs, but I want to use Mullvad's DoH servers to take advantage of their blocklists (and reputation). I think this would make me stand out compared to users of the VPN, but blocking domains would improve my browsing experience and thwarts other non-browser stuff on my devices (OS telemetry and tracking, etc). Is this setting recommended as a matter of privacy/security?

Thanks in advance for any help and discussion.

So what are the alternatives that work with both Alpine and Debian?

My opinion is that you'd be better off sticking to the OOTB init system that these distros provide, and hop to an entirely different distro that supports the init system you want/need. And for distros that do support multiple, stick to their guides carefully. Would save from a lot of incompat quirks and unsupported bugs, since these things can be as integrated into the main system as the package manager, if not more.

Conceptually though systemd can be a bunch. The s6 dev put out these definitions for the way he conceptually breaks down the entire init/service ecology into small pieces so have a look (ou may be interested in his full post explaining the motivation behind s6/s6-manager too). And since you're on Alpine, see their plans for a future init system.

With that said you may wanna try out dinit on Chimera Linux. They're one of the unique distros that offers this and some other cool things

If you have the WireGuard config from Mullvad already, just edit your wg.conf files on client devices to route all traffic via the Mullvad servers. Basically replace all the values of the [Peer] block with Mullvad values.

If you can share your Mullvad wg config file and your wireguard-server config file here, we can sort this out together

Edit: actually since your only goal is to increase the Mullvad device limits, why not just use Mullvad-provided confs directly in your client WireGuard apps? Should be straightforward to do

 

Hi, I'm looking for a FOSS file syncing/sharing solution that does all the following specific things:

  • Sync files only when needed, to save space on my client devices.
  • Preserve the filesystem on the server for backups. So no opaque blocks like SeaFile.
  • No need for external MySQL/Postgres container. SQLite would be okay.

Currently the closest thing to fulfill these is oCIS, but it has a decomposedFS file structure which defeats the second point. Nextcloud may run with embedded SQLite, but I'm reluctant to try it again due to previous experiences (lots of bugs, sluggish, etc). Mountain Duck and FileRun are not FOSS. ~~Filestash would be nice if it can integrate with existing Nextcloud/Owncloud clients for the on-demand syncing functionality, especially on Windows.~~ It would be nice to have an open-source alternative to Mountain Duck, in order to use on-demand sync functionalities with a standard storage backend such as SFTP.

Would you have any recommendations of what to do?

Thank you in advance!
