Looks like a fun community, I'll join.

No, not at all. They both are made for different purposes.

privatebin is pretty good.

Welp, I haven't seen anyone learn Swift other than for Apple stuff these days. So I wonder how many can actually contribute to the code. It's also made by Apple, so yeah. It would have been more performant and secure (both of which are pretty important in a browser) if it was written in a more low level language. For example Rust.

They only realized that when he said that? What a weird infosec team. I guess they also could use SimpleX if they wanted the most secure, private and anonymous option, but I think Signal is pretty well balanced as a messenger. Good privacy and usability.

I don't know. I primarily use Mull on android because it is a hardened version of Firefox. No issues with it so far.

It's nice and all but usage of Swift is kind of not great.

XMPP could have been great if it weren't left to die. The clients look like from the 2000s and encryption is a mess to set up. We instead have Matrix, which is pretty resource intensive to run and has its own problems but it practically functions like XMPP.

Surprised that happened. Very rare to see that these days.

Alright. You do you, pal.

That strikes me as a terrible idea given what some people search on the web. I have also never run a TOR exit node.

It is somewhat like a TOR exit node indeed. Though you can easily prove your innocence by saying that you did not make these searches but that you merely run a meta search engine that helps others protect their privacy. Even the TOR project has templates for exit nodes to submit them to the government or whoever is contacting them in those cases.

Fuck Nostr. Useless protocol used primarily by cryptobros and bots. Literally can't contribute to the standardized federation protocol ActivityPub but can make one shitty protocol. The same shit as the AT protocol.

The instance's IP

Long brainstorming sessions on how to implement my next Lemmy bot.

SearXNG is a meta search engine, which means it gets the search results from other search engines (Google, Bing, Qwant, etc.) and show them to you. It acts a proxy, thus hiding the users IP. This means Google can't target ads based on your IP and also can't make a profile about you.

I am not so sure about that. DDG has been caught tracking before. I wouldn't trust them. They are also getting into AI bs.

Yeah. For riseup VPN, Mullvad VPN exists. They support XMR and even give you a 10% discount because you used XMR.

Arch Linux

Gaming has not been a problem for me yet.

Proton works pretty good and games in Steam are starting to release builds for Linux as well because Steam Deck got popular (thanks Valve?) Minecraft Java also runs natively on Linux.

I do wonder why anyone would use Edge on Linux. I even wonder why anyone would even use Edge. Btw DDG uses Bing so you use the same search engine.

5 euros a month for 300 searches. Definitely not worth it. I live in germany.
