I'll probably stick OpenBSD on an old laptop. The FSF have some recommended software I can try.
If I can get a few friends and family onto Gemini, I could also use Misfin.
*sigh*
Maybe I'd better start self-hosting...
Privacy, for one thing. I don't use Google, Bing, Windows, or any Meta software*, and Yandex aren't much different.
Security, though, is another thing. I live in a NATO country, and I would imagine the Russian government are monitoring Yandex (and other RUnet services). Frankly, I think contributing any data to such a government would be against my interests.
There's also a lot of censorship on RUnet. Yeah, Google has that too, but Mojeek and Brave Search do not.
TL;DR: Google is data-hungry and supplies data to the NSA; Yandex is data-hungry and supplies data to the Kremlin; Mojeek and Brave Search are good; DDG and Startpage are the best for the average user.
I really needed to here this. Thank you.
I can't decide if I want to die or emigrate.
I had some luck with mlmym. There's an instance at old.lemmy.ca.
I don't even care if the results are good. I'm not about to use any part of RUnet.
Amateurs! It's gotta be silver!
- Looks nice in jewellery
- Antimicrobial properties
- An essential component of camera film
- Highly conductive (e.g. used for electrodes and thermal paste in computing)
- Catalyst in many chemical reactions
- Used to make mirrors
- A critical component of solar panels
- The only metal capable of incapacitating werewolves, and also somewhat effective against vampires

Sorry yall, I was just thinking the past and the future.
If anyone here uses iOS, here's a shortcut that removes metadata, which can be placed in the share sheet: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/3e2e51a1463744469a7dd5406732942a
There's also ExifTool, which can be run inside a-Shell and iSH; Metapho, which is a standalone paid app; and I believe ImgOnline has a tool as well.
You are absolutely correct. The stupidity here, though, is that word got out that Trump uses them, and that has caused a lot of his supporters to start wearing them, whether they need to or not.
Activists are responding to former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who called the ex-president Von ShitzInPantz.

Partial Solution
Since cryptsetup is not going to be at all usable in the initramfs shell any time soon, I've decided instead to just encrypt my /home folder with ecryptfs. The Debian Wiki has an article on how to do this.

I recently acquired a Raspberry Pi 5, but I've been having a lot of difficulty in getting LUKS encryption to work. Has anyone had any luck?
Also, I am using an NVMe drive, so Raspbian is really the only OS that works well. NetBSD can see the disk, too, but I found it annoying to use; and FreeBSD ended up breaking itself. I have not yet tried Armbian.

DSLinux was a port of the Linux kernel and some basic software to the Nintendo DS. As you can see, it also works in Delta.

A decade ago, research showed a troubling dip in empathy. A new study provides more hope.

I have noticed a major issue with my iPhone. No matter what I try, I can't open a private tab in Safari. This is not good, as it means I have to manually clear my cookies (which is impractical) or disable them altogether (which breaks some sites).
As of today, I have an adult Apple ID, but my dad is the organiser of the Apple family.
I have tried disabling content restrictions in Screen Time, but it didn't do anything. Web Content is set to "unrestricted".
There is no switch or button in Settings > Safari.
I have no configuration profiles installed that could change this. All I have are a few root certificates, a bunch of fonts, and an APN cert.
Private mode is fully functional in third-party browsers, but they do not support extensions or userscripts and provide marginally worse fingerprinting protection.
Can anyone help?
