100% this is the best choice for op IMO.

A big pro is that they literally don’t need any Google services whatsoever by the sounds of things

Adobe is the one company i’d never, ever, ever want to support, especially with a subscription. 🏴‍☠️ all day every day

Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.

There’s a script in the initramfs which looks for the flash drive, and passes the decryption key on it to cryptsetup, which then kicks off the rest of the boot mounting the filesystems underneath the luks

I could technically remove the flash drive after boot as the system is on a UPS, but I like the ability to reboot remotely without too much hassle.

What I’d like to do in future would be to implement something more robust with a hardware device requiring 2FA. I’m not familiar with low level hardware security at all though, so the current setup will do fine for the time being!

Free real estate 😂

If MIT AppInventor is still kicking around, you should be able to use it for this… although sadly you won’t have access to the source code since it’s a Scratch-like way to create apps.

By default the Android voice assistant uses Google tech AFAIK, if you’re after a truly source-available solution then there’s ”Futo voice input" to handle STT, and “RHVoice” to handle TTS - though these would still need a HTTP API bridge to do what you want

First one that came to mind when I saw the title TBH. First it was period tracking apps, now this. Scary state of things

The last time I checked, piped had a button right on the playlist page to export playlists as JSON. You can then switch instances and re-import that data back in

I’m not sure about subscriptions though, only really use piped for watching videos quickly or listening to music playlists

Pressure shortens that timeline significantly IMO, similar to what happened with USB-C

I assume it’s a feature to prevent Android’s memory management from forcefully killing Firefox… for me the tabs don’t unload, but they behave as if the JS running inside them has been frozen/paused.

Maybe installing those tabs as apps via Firefox’s menu will bypass this

From GoG specifically, as they patch the older games on their store to “just run” on modern Windows

Of course its Admiral AAB 😭

Does safari have a reader mode you can use to bypass it? I use a FF extension that allows me to disable all scripts on a page when I come across junk like this.

Alternatively just chuck the link into Wayback or archive.is

I use FreeOTP+ and it requires biometrics to open

This is what I use. Also supports exporting/importing data to and from Gnome Authenticator so you have 2FA on your computer too 👍

Not directly an answer to your question, but this is a really nice gesture. I’d appreciate it a ton personally

Element has added so much to Matrix that the barrier for even making an MVP app is a bit intimidating IMO

Yes please. Very frustrating encountering businesses and groups that only have a presence on facebook, no dedicated website or anything 😒
