You can install Linux on ARM-based Macs too:

Everything works except Thunderbolt/USB4 and Video output via USB-C

I wouldn't use it as a NAS if you plan to use NVMe SSDs for fast storage (since you can't connect them via USB4), but if you only plan on using SATA SSDs or mechanical drives, USB 3 should be fine. Other than that, everything you would need in a server is there and works flawlessly.

It's not that hard to compete with the ever shrinking Netflix library

The story isn't nearly as dramatic as it seems. Maybe this thread can offer some nuance: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967309987371034

You can actually unlock LUKS from another machine over SSH: https://www.cyberciti.biz/security/how-to-unlock-luks-using-dropbear-ssh-keys-remotely-in-linux/

I'm pretty happy with this solution

Use LibreX or a fork called LibreY, it's a JS-free proxy for Google search

There's a list of instances at https://librey.org/instances.php

Something similar exists for DuckDuckGo btw, it's called 4get

Or you can just use SearXNG, a meta search engine that aggregates results from multiple sources

Bitwarden can't be compared to KeePassXC. Bitwarden is fundamentally built around a sync server, whereas KeePass is meant to exclusively operate locally. These are two very different fundamental concepts for, you know, how to actually store and access your passwords.

Bruh I'm just casually asking, what's wrong with that question

It's really cool. I learned about it from the megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-books#annas-archive

Is that an actual Hackintosh (running on bare metal) or just a virtual machine?

Sorry, but this is really useless. I support the cause, but there is absolutely no need for this software. I think this community is meant for software that actually has a use.

No. As you can see on protondb.com, 86% of the Top 1000 Games on Steam have a Silver rating or better, meaning they work just fine on Linux.

GrapheneOS has so many advantages over Lineage, there's no reason to use Lineage on a Pixel

I think we should spread this message and the guide in other communities or on other platforms. I don't think posting this in the Firefox community will achieve much.

Using a device with no vendor-provided firmware security patches doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Also, the Pixel 8a gets 7 years of updates. That's plenty of time, and most people get a new phone after a much shorter time.

Just want to mention that TrueNAS is FOSS and unRAID is not. And I wouldn't necessarily say that unRAID is much easier.

Fuck Discord

It's only compatible with modern Pixel devices, so unless you're old tablet is a Google Pixel Tablet, you can't install it anyway. But the installer is super easy to use (if you have a compatible device). It's literally all in your web browser.

Unraid would be my first suggestion as well. But if you prefer something FOSS, check out TrueNAS Scale. (It is important that you go with TrueNAS Scale, not Core. TrueNAS Core is the continuation of the former FreeNAS, which is based on FreeBSD. Since it's not a Linux system, it doesn't support Docker. TrueNAS Scale is based on Debian Linux and much closer to Unraid, it has full support for KVM Virtualization and Docker containers.)

The GrapheneOS guys also explained why this isn't nearly as bad as it sounds, and how Wired is simply fearmongering: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967309987371034

  • Home Assistant
    There's no fucking way I'm using a cloud service to control parts of my home, that just feels so wrong to me on so many levels

  • Nextcloud
    There's no way I'm saving my files on someone else's computer (the Cloud). Even with encryption, it's expensive. Hard drives are cheap. Put them in a server, install Nextcloud and you have your private, cheap, independent cloud service.

  • Immich (currently migrating to Ente) for my photos

  • Jellyfin + arr Stack
    I'm not paying $100/month for 5 different streaming services to have access to all the content I like.

  • Navidrome for my (pirated) music

  • Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts

  • Pi-Hole with Unbound set up as a recursive resolver, cause why should I trust someone else with DNS?

I also self-host Matrix or Revolt servers as well as game servers for me and my friends, because it's much cheaper than getting VPS or a hosted option, and I already have this server that I use for a bunch of other stuff, so I can also just use it for that.

GrapheneOS doesn't include this, along with many other unnecessary carrier apps

I think the Pixel Fold might be the best option for a foldable phone, because (just like all other Pixels) you can flash it with a private, secure, open-source ROM like GrapheneOS.

Calyx is pretty insecure by default, it removes some default AOSP security features and is very slow to push security patches. And it doesn't include any of the GrapheneOS security features like hardened SELinux, a hardened kernel, secure app spawning, hardened Chromium browser and WebView or hardware-based integrity attestation. It also uses a very flawed Google Play services implementation (microG) which requires root and has worse app compatibility.

Unfortunately Stardew Valley. But now I don't have much time and I lost my save file, so I would have to start all over again.

Subnautica can be played together using the Nitrox mod

https://nitrox.rux.gg/

I haven't tried OxygenOS, but I used Oppo's ColorOS (which is basically the same thing; there are only a few minor differences, since OnePlus is a subsidiary of Oppo) and it was terrible. The entire OS felt like a buggy mess, and the battery life was terrible because of all the garbage running in the background. I spent an entire weekend removing all the bloatware, but the experience still sucked. That was 2 years ago, after my iPhone XS broke, and I just needed a new phone quickly. My carrier had a deal at the time, where I got the Oppo phone almost for free (very small direct payment, no monthly payments), so I took it. After about a month, I just couldn't stand it anymore and returned the phone. Then I bought a Google Pixel 6 Pro, flashed GrapheneOS on it, and it's been great ever since. I'm never using a Chinese phone again. A friend showed me his Xiaomi phone and said that it's basically unusable with the stock ROM. Phone manufacturers should really stop messing with the goddamn OS, they always manage to turn it into a giant pile of shit. I'll definitely stick with (preferably degoogled) operating systems that are as close to AOSP as possible, like GrapheneOS.

Don't let this misleading Wired article fearmonger you. I recommend this thread, which provides some nuance to this drama: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967805820394815

Hell yeah

I’d like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred

I recommend a self-hosted music server like Navidrome. !navidrome@discuss.tchncs.de
