If you are looking for a future proof, snooping free and secure solution for home routers, there is most likely no way around installing open source firmware like openwrt. I would just pick a device with good openwrt support, some ubiquity models have that, if I remember correctly. But there are many alternatives by different manufacturers. I would just chose one with good hardware specs in your price range, install openwrt and call it a day.

Post quantum encryption will probably be an issue in a couple of years and I think there will be solutions then in many messengers.
I am not sure what you mean by persistent user ids. How much would it matter if you run your own server line I so with xmpp?
I am all for using the true and tested xmpp protocol.
I personally think blood omen was a way better game then all those 3d sequels. I would welcome a game in that style, kinda cool story and lots of secrets to be found.
Dawn sounds very interesting. It seems to need 802.11k and 802.11v on all AP-nodes, I am not sure they are supported by my hardware though. I’ve never heard of those standards, so it seems unlikely.
I also just read about a user complaining about crashes related to dawn. Does it run stable and does it also switch to the 5ghz band or does it seem to prefer 2,4ghz, as another user noted three years ago.
If you don’t like flatpak there is also firejail which you can run to isolate browsers or many other programmes.
There is also a programme to run your browser from ram and commit changes to disk when it closes, which I’ve used for a year or so and can recommend. I have to look up the name later at home, if you are interested.
Browsers write to disk every couple odd seconds per default settings (I think up to 20gb a day), which eats away on an ssds life cycle. in Firefox this can be changed, but the in ram option makes it smappier as well as a benefit.
I am not much into art, but something I read in a Stephen King novel about a painter always resonated with me: You are not selling the picture but the story behind the picture. Whoever is interested in your picture, if you can tell them an inspiring tale about the circumstances it was created in your chance of a sale will increase manifold. Of course this is from a storytellers point out view so you can assume an emphasis on stories, but it kind of makes sense: If you show someone a picture you bought they might appreciate for the arts sake alone, but a good story is a bonus that will make this exact picture stand out. So if you wanna sell pictures, have a good story to tell about each.
Do linkwarden instances federate, so that it can act as a decentralised way-back-machine?
I recently heard the idea to donate monthly to one project of your choosing so the developers could rely on a steady income. I think that’s a great way of doing it.
Would anyone post a quick guide on how to run WhatsApp l using atl?
There is some documentation on https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/blob/master/README.md and I am rather sure it’s the right project, but some sort of installer would be nice. I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run. Wasn’t there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?
Exacly, these popups are completely unnecessary and just a form of malicious compliance by the website creators.
its very easy to install via docker as mentioned above. Mumble is very lightweight. You could run the server on your desktop in the background easily or even on your router, there is a package for openwrt. The sound quality is awesome, voice is e2e encrypted and bandwidth should not be a problem either for a couple of people in the chat while you are playing.
I’ve been using docus (izzys fdroid repo) for some time and can recommend it.
Edit: it seems it’s no longer being maintained.
I would switch to jmp immediately if only it were available in Germany.
sure, use arj to compress doom to your disk:
c:\games\doom\ arj a -va a:\doom.arj
It fits on 4 floppies that way is I remember correctly.
I’ve learned a lot about privacy/security from xmpp chatrooms, especially the room for the conversations client and the divestos chatroom. They both are kind of support chatrooms for the chat client/ android rom but privacy is often a topic and the programmers/ rom maintainers are also present and very knowledgeable. https://search.jabber.network/rooms/1
Podcasts are a leftover from the non centralized and non-monetized internet of the past. Because is that most Podcasts are still available as rss feeds, so you should only ever get adds if they are spoken by the Podcasts hosts. Ate you taking about those? Only something like sponsorblock would help against those. I use antennapod (fdroid) on android to listen to Podcasts. Sine hosts always start their podcast with an add, but you can autoskip the first minute of a certain podcast with antennapod every time. It has a setting for that. Antenna pod itself is foss software without adds.
Than one day he had an accident, they had to amputate his arms – and he was sad that day. Yes he was sad that day. He can’t surf, he can’t skate and he sure can’t masturbate no more.
100% Opnsense. I used to run pfsense for a couple of years but there project was bought by a for profit. Enshitification ensued. They still released their code as per open source licence, but it was not up to closer inspection as it could no longer be used to built the distro from source. They banned perfectly fine hardware from using pfsense as it could not provide hardware acceleration for open-vpn (Aes-ni). The fork opnsense is to be preferred.
