Wikipedia has way more donors, since it’s basically the only one of its kind. There is no Big Tech alternative to Wikipedia, so everyone just uses it by default. There are lots of other messengers though, so Signal isn’t the default choice.

Finally a good approach at raising money (other than donations)

library = app
object code = app
machine code = app
binary = app
linker = app
bits = app
data = app
state = app
stack = app
heap = app
variables = app
memory allocator = app
memory = app
transistors = app
silicon = app
wires = app
pcb = app
electrons = app
leptons = app

package = app

Btw if you’re still looking for an IRC client, check out Goguma. It’s a better, more modern looking alternative to Revolution.

I’m glad you like it. Consider making a post about your experience so far having switched from iOS to GrapheneOS. The community likes these kinds of posts. Don’t hesitate to use screenshots, etc.

Unraid is great for beginners.

HomeBox is perfect for your use case. You could also try InvenTree, but I think HomeBox is going to better suit your needs.

Insecure. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux-phones.html

You can use Every Door

Make sure to also run NeoStumbler in the background, so you can scan for Wi-Fi networks, cell towers, as well as BLE beacons, and contribute this data to BeaconDB (!beacondb@lemmy.dbzer0.com) (no, I’m not affiliated with the project, I just support their mission)

You can also find NeoStumbler on Accrescent (Mastodon)

If you need a traditional, unencrypted DNS service, check out Quad9 and AdGuard’s Public DNS. If you can use DoT or DoH, use LibreDNS or Mullvad DNS. If you want more customization, check out NextDNS.

The Ntfy Android app hasn’t been updated in almost a year, and in my experience it consumes more battery than Sunup.

Signal

No, it’s not a special “FOSS” version, it’s just the official binary distributed through the Guardian Project repo (as I have proven: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16230276). If you want a FOSS variant, check out Signal-FOSS or Molly, they also offer a FOSS variant. You can either download it from their custom F-Droid repo, pull the APK from GitHub using Obtainium or get it from Accrescent.

Just make sure to set up UnifiedPush if you want to receive notifications while your Molly database is locked. I recommend the new Sunup UP distributor. I wanted to make a post about it in !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but never got around to do it.

For Mollysocket, there are a few public instances. molly.adminforge.de is one of them. You can also set up your own on Fly.io, check out this repo: https://github.com/pcrockett/mollysocket-fly
Or you can obviously self-host it on any VPS or hardware that you own

Or via Accrescent

Takes like 2 minutes 😅

I know, it even says so in the post:

I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the “Guardian” repository.
