You can disable that. Here are two links that disable that. Add it to Firefox or Chromium through the settings.

Simple, only disables AI answers: https://duckduckgo.com/?kbe=0&q=%s

Long, disables AI answers and ads: https://duckduckgo.com/?kak=-1&kax=-1&kbe=0&k1=-1&q=%s

Steps to create a custom DDG search config:

• Visit: https://duckduckgo.com/settings
• Select the settings you want, for example dark mode.
• Click the “Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data” button.
• Copy the link, using my dark mode scenario would yield the URL https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d
• Edit the URL by adding &q=%s to the end, which acts as a placeholder for the browser to replace with your actual search query. Using my example https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d&q=%s
• Last step is add it to your browser. May differ between browsers, but generally look in the search engines tab of the settings.

Ente Auth

I like to judge software based on its actually merit and not on the theoretical possibility it is vulnerable. It very well could be vulnerable, but without auditing it we are just speculating, which in the real world means nothing. Every project starts somewhere, without community, followers, and “5 years of support”. I am not saying I would trust this software in a security critical situation, just that your speculation means nothing.

And? It lowers the attack surface of Immich. Attack surface is about the surface, whatever an attacker can use to get leverage. This acts as an intermediate between Immich and a public viewer, controlling how a threat actor can access a private Immich server. It helps reduce external attack surface while increasing overall system complexity. Since the project is small, it is easy to audit the code.

Magic Earth isnt FOSS though, which was specifically requested by OP

It would be easy. Just install Waydroid and install an android app on the Android system. Look at Waydroid official install guide and maybe watch a video.

It shouldn’t be too taxing on the Pi 4 or 5, Waydroid runs an LXC container with x86_64 LineageOS. It works well, but requires Wayland.

Lol

It does not use adblock plus lists directly. The lists are hosted by Cromite. uBlock Origin is not available for any android chromium browser (other than kiwi I guess). The adblocker works well from my tests. I recommend adding filterlists from https://divested.dev/pages/dnsbl

It is not security hardened from what I can tell. Most of Librewolf’s patches could be applied to build Zen with security hardening. Alternatively, patch Zen browser with Arkenfox user.js (upstream project to Librewolf’s security hardened default profile)

Use Cromite. Fully open source, adblocking, and security hardened. See this browser table for conparisons: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

Privacy.com allows you to create virtual cards, allowing you to set up rules for how money can be used through them. It also masks the receipt details that your bank would normal get access to so they can’t sell that data about what you purchased.

InnerTune (A fork of InnerTune, a Material 3 YouTube Music client for Android) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.malopieds.innertune/

Are you using the fork? It gets more frequent updates.

I haven’t had great success, it causes more problems than it is worth if you aren’t willing and knowledgeable to troubleshoot any finicky behavior. The nvidia drivers just end up causing a headache. I would never recommend anyone buy an nvidia GPU if they dont have a specific requirement like run local AI/LLMs using CUDA or raytracing (I guess). AMD can also run local LLMs using ROCm, just not supported for 5000 series or lower.

The only Linux distro I (and my friends) have had any success with nvidia GPUs is Bazzite/Aurora. Bazzite is gaming focused and has special nvidia OS images.

AMD is easier to use with Linux. Get a rx6700xt or greater.

You can give a Flatpak the necessary permissions to modify disks. All the permissions needed by Veracrypt could be granted.

Basically, Flatpak stops Firefox from using its normal security measures for isolation. Librewolf (a fork of Firefox) has the same problems resulting from Flatpak.

Also, what do you mean the distro repo will update never? You just type the update command (eg. sudo dnf update -y) and software gets updated. If you dont like manually typing command, just set it up to auto run at boot.

Flatpak doesnt let the browser use its normal sandboxing for process isolation using user namespaces.
