Oregon. I have only ever heard them called weed eaters.

I just run some simple services, such as Audiobookshelf or Wallabag, behind a reverse proxy. After reading the other comments, it does not look like there would be any benefit for my use case.

Yes, I have always used a reverse proxy which seems to eliminate the need for multiple IP addresses. It seems like having multiple IP addresses just creates additional cost and complexity, but I have seen many VPS providers offer multiple IP addresses, so I was curious if there was a use case that I was not aware of.

Proton Drive does not support Linux…

I think there is early beta support in Rclone, but I have seen many reports of it not working well.

I am currently trying Wallabag and like it so far. Being able to self-host it is definitely a plus. I also like how clean and simple it is compared to how bloated Pocket has become, but it does not have the official integration with Kobo. It looks like there is a way to use Wallabag by installing KOReader. I will look more into that if I decide to stick with Wallabag long-term.

Brave uses their own index. Qwant and Ecosia have partnered to build their own index as well.

LibreOffice and OnlyOffice are both compatible with MS Office formats. LibreOffice is more popular, but OnlyOffice has better compatibility with MS Office files and the interface is very similar as well.

I used Thunder for a long time, but I have been giving Arctic a try lately and like it. I will likely give Mlem another shot after the next update. Voyager is another great one, but I have not used it for a while.

Overall, there are a lot of great Lemmy apps and I love that most of them did not get abandoned after the initial wave from the Reddit exodus died down. I think we have more high-quality Lemmy apps than there were for Reddit.

The Google backing. See ublock Origin for example. Google wants less effective ad blockers because ads are 90% of their business. Google removed manifest v2, which is needed for good ad blocking capabilities. Now Chromium, and any browser based on it (Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc.), also lose it. Some have said they will manually add it back in to their browser, but that will only be possible for so long as Google’s upstream Chromium base further diverges.

The massive market share of Chromium-based browsers also gives Google near complete control over web standards. There are many websites that use non-standard functionality that only works in Chromium and not Firefox or Safari. Developers also will not adopt new standards unless Google chooses to as well because there would not be enough users to justify it otherwise.

TLDR: Control over Chromium gives Google extremely strong influence over the web and their interests likely do not have much overlap with yours.

Correct. That is why it is often referred to as amd64.

China just wants North Korea to keep existing to serve as a buffer. If North Korea falls, it would almost certainly unite with South Korea. Then a very strong ally of the United States with many American military bases would directly border China.

Ente is also able to be self-hosted.

Intel is ruining Intel.

Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.

Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.

Whoever had the number before you likely gave it out to any service that asked.

Since you only use it for data, I recommend contacting your provider and asking for a different number.

openSUSE also remains one of the only distributions that have automatic Btrfs snapshots setup out of the box. I am very surprised other distributions have not done the same. Especially Fedora, since they use Btrfs already.

I use Pocket because it is compatible with my Kobo ereader.

I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.

If Google would have said upfront that all purchases would be refunded when Stadia shuts down, it likely would have increased confidence enough that people would actually use it.
