There is an interview with the founder on one of the Privacy podcasts. You can form your opinion. My opinion - yes, they are trustworthy and you can do with them anything that you can with any Linux box, alternatively flash a clean OpenWRT for extra paranoia

Signatures are different. Uninstall old FDroid version first

I’m not your buddy, bro

look on XDA developers forum for your model. They usually have plenty of alternative ROMs

Using Soundcore with their app and internet access denied. Set up once, deleted the app

I don’t think you pay for the iOS app, only the server portion can be licensed AFAIK

I use FreshRSS - really nice app, using PWA on desktop and a plain bookmark on the tablet

How did they find out???
Alias description? Inbox headers?

Pro tip #2.
Any time they have your stuff - they will use it (sell it) sooner or later. Zero knowledge is the answer

Not sure about “designed”, maybe evolved to be that way but not designed

If the streaming apps will be deteriorated the only option left will be yt-dlp and mpv left

I don’t see on the provided screenshot any apps that shouldn’t have the mic access. You can certainly deny it and break some apps functionality but you’ll be “safe from ads”

There is a TPM emulation, yes, 1.1, 2.0 - you choose

90 weeks? I guess I can have another baby, and then after a while make a decision on what to do with my W10 VM installation

crowdsec, pretty sure what’s meant

version 6.6.10 is not bad, working great for me

Yes. When loading small images - there is no noticeable difference between local and NAS. When loading videos or large pics - there is about a 2 sec lag, then the video plays normally. I have a 500/500 Mb internet at home and on the VPS side I think it’s a few Gbps. I am consistently pulling minimum 200 Mbps between the two. I set a mount option ,nofail so that my OS boots up when NAS is down/unreachable, and my container also starts up fine with the NAS down, but won’t play its content obviously

I set 10x ratio, after which I stop seeding and seed fresher torrents. Those stopped ones can be resumed if I accidentally go to the forum or tracker and see no seeders

Not sure if this fits your needs but I bought a NAS and mounted it via NFS4 over tailscale to my cloud. Yes, it is slower, but I got 20TB in the cloud

3rd one fits KDE style, also 6 is amazing too
