arch

Bikes and train

I like the blog theme so much!

The move towards Chinese market lol

at least they are speaking the truth, even if they pretend to be otherwise, you can never entrust data sovereignty to a foreign commercial entity…

Nice, would be great if there are some recurring discounts :3

And strongbox, as the most competent KeePass mobile client imo, recently goes closed source :(

Archinstall is a part of arch so they say they use arch btw that’s sensible to be

Yeaaa my cat’s fur is literally everywhere so every Sunday our family have to vacuum the house inside out 🫠

Wht does it even matter if you don’t install Arch manually? Is the whole point of the arch installing? I don’t think so, it’s using. If you don’t find anything joyful in manually installing arch it’s perfectly fine to manually install only once to make sure you know how it works. And just use archinstall in every following installation that’s not shamefu

Yea, this is completely okay, but there is a small difference - for stock /e/os ones, the Bootloader is locked. I am not sure about details but this would be a needed security feature for some applications

Oh, I apologize. I misunderstood your main concern, I though it’s about Google Play instead of Android.

Yes, the only choice for most mobile phones are either Android or iOS. Things like Pinephone and FydeTab Duo exists, but so rare.

You can purchase the /e/os version. But it is more expensive

I get your point, yeah… your opinion makes sense. It’s just a bit complicated in reality. For example, if I share my point of view straightforward, I may get into trouble. And sometimes people who loves to politicize everything would make discussions painful, like, I just want to talk about algorithm used in some software, and theyr throwing a lot of theories to me ab the company behind it

I don’t like to talk about politics because many people gets unreasonable when it comes to politics. So I basically lose the motivation to talk about it. That doesn’t mean I lose all my opinions.

Swisscows has actually been around for long but I don’t think there have been much positive feedback…

I was thinking ab this being april fool bcz it’s posted on 1st…

for office, collabora office and onlyoffice not being mentioned rlly surprise me Ksuite isn’t supposed to do office things… It is more like a microsoft 365 alternative.

sooo cute curl

Honestly when I first heard of Orion, i was stunned by the idea of having both chrome and firefox extensions on iOS and at the idea i would say this browser is my only choice on my iPad.

But things doesn’t work out as I imagined. The default ad/tracker blocker is not fully functional at blocking even if I use custom rules, so I installed uBlock Origin. To my surprise ubo doesn’t work at all. I then searched web and found in kagi community, some people complain ab this while others saying this is not reproducible. So I would say this is an occasional occurrence but for me it’s just 100% because ubo literally doesn’t block anything on any page. Other extensions I use daily on my desktop ff browser didn’t function either, unfortunately.

I like Kagi search and the idea of warning trackers on the website and spotting promotional contents is just great. But paying $10 a month only to get results from Google, Bing and mojeek? Not really a big fan of that, I would rather give the money to mojeek to help them improve their search results instead of paying to an aggregator… And they are not even the best aggregator there, I mean there’s selfhosted SearXNG which is unbeatably accurate and would only cost $2/mo on my VPS.

I would say ikmail is way WAYYyyy more functional than tuta and proton by being compatible with IMAP/SMTP+CalDAV protolcol. Yeah the protocol which doesn’t support 2FA and encryption but who cares, it’s email.

They have a mobile client which is available on F-Droid. Very elegant and modern UI which satisfy me even more than Google.

They have excellent practice on email security by using DNSSEC and DANE on mail server by default.

Deliverability and spam filtering are also great, competitive with Gmail. Exceeding Outlook and iCloud ofc.

Drawback being kinda hard to register, if not in the listed countries then just use a VPN. You have to provide your phone number too and couldn’t bypass dialing checking to purchase a higher tier plan afaik. Not for privacy seekers.

Infomaniak is relatively new in personal email market but has always been underestimated for 3 years since emerging. It’s good to see them finally decide to sell their nice ksuite to personal users as long as companies.
