Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!
FireWall?
Setup x2 rules for each .exe,
one to block inbound connections,
and another to block outbound connections.
It might not be as environmentally friendly as POS (Proof of Stake),
however it’s much more secured against attacks.
POS only has a few hundred validators that need to be attacked.
POW needs tens of thousands if not more miners that need to be attacked.
Imo monetary systems,
should aim for maximum security.
XMR is one of the few honorable crypto projects out there though.
However this fundraiser is suspicious and spamming, which I do not condone.
Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:

I mean same applies to the Chinese,
but wanting to look good in an oppressive system, does not mean you actually like to be oppressed by said system.
Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.
For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.
I write PHP on the daily and don’t understand the hate it gets :/
At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#
Thank you!
Which very likely send your data to databrokers to be sold to the best bidder for “advertisement purposes”…
I dare you, scan the apps you use for well known trackers (= spyware) with ClassyShark3xodus:
Geometric Weather is no longer being developed + started to have issues with fetching data.
Breezy Weather is the actively developed fork / continuation of Geometric Weather:
Figured it out by looking at a few issues on the Geometric Weather Github repo:
You can try to convince the Discord server moderators to bridge their servers to Matrix with something like T2Bot:
https://t2bot.io/discord/
That’s what I did when I was running a Discord server,
worked nicely in both directions.
I like to add as many repos as I can.
The more apps in F-Droid,
the less reason to go to GooglePlay :)
Here is a list with all repo’s I’ve got imported:
I usually keep the Archive variants disabled,
but they’re nice to keep around,
for if you ever need an old version of an app.
Also,
most of these I’ve found through Droid-Ify,
it’s my favorite app to manage my F-Droid apps:
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/
I’ve been using Telegram-FOSS
Unsure if it does (not) have ads though,
if it has, then they’re likely blocked by Adaway
Hype for:
Due to it, we’ll be able to use Android apps,
nicely integrated, alongside our Linux apps.
No more need to launch the full Android UI in a Wayland session window on X server.
I’ve been waiting for months for that!
Hype intensifies!!!
I never heard about Threema before,
quickly glanced at it’s Github repo,
but I think I prefer Matrix/Element over it.
Threema seems to largely rely om GMS (Google Messaging Service),
meaning that most messages will go through Google’s servers,
albeit end-to-end encrypted for now,
I would not be suprised if Google would participate in “Harvest now, Decrypt later”.
Wasn’t aware of that, would love to hear about it if someome could shine some more light onto the matter :)
If that’s the case, I have to stop using/recommending Session
Sign-up still requires a phone number… -.-"
Checkout Matrix/Element or Session,
there you can actually enjoy privacy by signing-up without a phone number/email:
Edit: Due to Session’s company residing in Australia,
which appareantly has bad privacy laws,
i don’t feel comfortable with recommending it anymore
Spying on you :P
That’s why I replaced it with MicroG:
