There is indeed a big difference between requiring a specific password vs. requiring a specific device or software to be able to use the service. Keep in mind that big tech can very conveniently leverage this technology to lock you in. For example think about Apple, Google and Microsoft requiring you to use passkeys, and then later require you to use your certified phone and app. Most people will not be able to “go elsewhere”.

You seem to be falling for what the author was writing about. Only because you could technically try to use keepassxc to store passkeys, that does not mean that it will work. You see passkeys were build in a way the service you’re trying to login to can decide if they accept your keepassxc for passkey storage or not. It looks like you are in control when you are actually not.

If you’ve got a nextcloud somewhere, you already have everything you need running. Install required extension and login in antenna pod. Works nicely, can recommend it.

Not in all situations. And in a way a user will not be aware of. The service or website can define what type of passkey is allowed (based in attestation). You may not be able to acutally use your “movable” keys because someone else decided so. You will not notice this until you actually face such a service. And when that happens, you can be sure that the average user will not understand what ia going on. Not all passkeys are equal, but that fact is hidden from the user.

In addition, Huawei now blocks sideloading Android apps to promote its ecosystem growth.

Well looks like I’m never going to get a device from this manufacturer then.

Sad to see Mozilla being managed into the ground, betraying their principles and selling their users.

That is not entirely correct. The reported found the app using permissions that are not covered by the manifest. It also found the app being capable to execute arbitrary code send by temu. So it cannot be clearly answered if the app can utilize these permissions or not. Obviously they would not ship such an exploit with the app directly.

This is your best option. I did do movie nights with friends during the pandemic in a similar way, but I used OBS Studio to create the stream and Monaserver to stream it to all users. I did not know VLC can handle the streaming to users directly, making this dead simple to setup without additional software. You just need to know how to configure your router to allow the needed port forwarding.

Agreed. From a privacy perspective, it is a lot safer to run the app in an environment where you have admin control. E.g. disable when not in use, block access to sensitive device information, limit background and network activity as much as possible.

“Could”. More likely it was closed loop. As I understand it this is an estimate, thus the word “could”. This has nothing to do with using closed or open look water cooling. Water isn’t single use, so even if true how does this big number matter.

The point they are trying to make is that fresh water is not a limitless resource and increasing usage has various impacts, for example on market prices.

The outdated network holding back housing is that it doesn’t go to the right places with the capacity needed for the houses. Not that OpenAIUK is consuming so much that there’s no power left. To use a simily, there’s plenty of water but the pipes aren’t in place.

The point being made is that resources are allocated to increase network capacity for hyped tech and not for current, more pressing needs.

This sadly is in line with Mozilla’s increasingly bad privacy defaults. Users who care have moved on to more reasonable configurd forks at this point (e.g. Librewolf).

This. Regulators are a joke

You may want to rework your privacy policy. It contadicts itself:

We do not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track your activity on our site beyond our basic Google Analytics tracking

14. Analytics: We do not use any third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

Be careful with those, they can interfere/kill your or your neighbors DSL connection. Terrible to diagnose these.

Antennapod supports syncing with podder.net and gpoddersync

They video was quiet promising. However looking at the app website shows that what was a false promise. The app does track every single launch and sends that to their servers (see privacy policy) not legal without consent in the EU. Calling this “tracker free” is more than misleading here. I’d call it a lie actually.

Have you tried https://github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker? It is a docker compose for selfhosting the new Firefox sync server rewritten in Rust.

That’s so sad. Uses to buy all my music through them.
