Of course, it’s the best proto for chat, I use it actively everyday since 1997.
Not sure, people outside IT world, at least in my country, still speak about the “Microsoft crash” and don’t know at all about Crowdstrike. Now that make me think that MS will probably try to sue them for the “ravages” to their corporate image.
I use SimpleHttp server but it’s not open source and available only on play store. I use this to download epub from my e-reader after having downloaded them on my phone. Now I will look into foss solutions proposed in this Post, through termux or other apps, thanks.
Edit: indeed with termux + caddy + termux widget it’s just perfect
Coming back to this after a while trying out. Qwant is indeed very nice in Europe at least. I tested it and adopted it, I also like the fact it have a map based on OSM which is nicer than the Apple thing in DDG.
I’ve also used Startpage and DuckDuckGo, they all have their strengths
Can you develop? Why do you prefer qwant over ddg for example.
I also dropped Google search mainly for two reason. First privacy, making money with my private data and so on. Then I find Google search is less and less good, the first thing being that sponsored links are first even if they don’t match well the search keywords and even not looking at sponsored links I think the results are much worse than in the past.
I now use duckduckgo and I’m happy with it but I can try something else.
I read every night with a kobo e-reader (next to my partner who generally sleep before me). I use night mode and a very dim brightness (2-3 %, the max I use is 4 %). It’s sufficient in my opinion.
Didn’t knew this one, still a fan of osmand but why not give a try
Definitely for osmand+, I think this is one of the best opensource app on Android (and the fact being openstreetmap based is a definitive plus because you can correct the map for benefit of the community).
What is considered as active ? Is someone connecting to his account and lurking considered active ? Or, someone who just up/downvote without commenting or posting ?
Learned a few (meaning of foobar,…), remembered some and enjoyed a lot. thanks for the link.
Now from the article (which might have been updated since posted, no criticism of OP), it’s clearly unrelated to the football (soccer) match. Seems more related to the events in Israel…
Nowadays it’s video for everything… Am I the only old bear that prefer plain old textual tutorials?
IMHO the website is sufficiently usable on a mobile browser. You can still use “add to home screen” to have a shortcut on your favorite launcher.
So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works… Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it… Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on
