I have both Proton Unlimited and Mailbox. I prefer keeping my Mailbox account for mail, calendar and contacts. With Proton, I’d have to use their apps or some bridge, whereas Mailbox can be used with any app. I also have multiple domains connected with Mailbox and use plenty of aliases, so I don’t really see why Proton would be better in that regard.

I don’t have any suggestions to add, but as someone who subscribes to both, I was simply wondering what Mailbox lacks compared to Proton in your opinion.

I tend to stick with Plasma’s own panels but I’ll give this one a spin over the weekend. From the looks of it, it has quite the set of options, which is always fun to tinker with 🙂. Thanks for sharing this.

It really depends on your use case. Most of my simple chat messages are the same as I would have in any public space. I have no need for encryption, I have need for convenience in that regard. With Telegram I have my chat history on all devices and don’t need to use my phone to connect which are two must-haves for me. For my use case, Signal is the worse option. That doesn’t make Signal bad, just not suitable for me.

As a privacy-concious person I am very much aware of the non-secure nature of my chats, but since that is not a factor of consideration to me when it comes to casual chats with a few friends and family members. The worst thing Telegram could do is analyse my chats and … then what?

Now that’s awfully cool of you 😄. I’ll give that a spin with Symfonium this weekend; much obliged!

This sounds like a cool thing. Will it run on FreeBSD? If unknown, I will likely try and find out this weekend.

TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.

Started out with Mandrake in 1998 and got into Debian shortly after. I moved to Gentoo in 2002. In the later 2000s I only used my desktop for gaming and stopped dual booting for many years. My home server runs BSD and I was using a 2010 MacBook as my laptop. The only Linux box in my home was my HTPC, running Ubuntu.

When I heard of Proton I started dual booting again. In 2020 I got rid of Windows and the aging MacBook. Since then my desktop, laptop and HTPC run on Arch. The server is still FreeBSD.

I’m not an expert on the matter so have a Wikipedia link.

I thought Graphene was the culprit. When I switched it was still Android 13 and Mull was unusable. I couldn’t interact with it at random until I restarted it, which was quite the problem. Tried Fennec and have had no issues since.

For me it boils down to principles. You’re totally right and many companies I hate will have alot of my info due to others, but I’ll be damned if I cooperate with them.

And in case anyone wonders, it works fine in BSD as well. I have a jail with rTorrent which is locked to the VPN connection and uses a cronjob to keep port forwarding active 🙂.

23.1 already has ray tracing support, although it doesn’t work on all titles. With 23.2 a notable example that should have rt support is Cyberpunk 2077. The rt performance should also increase by a lot, and even more in 23.3.

That said, I also think I will turn it on, say the frame rates are too low and switch it off again. And that’s with a 7900 XTX. What I have seen of ray tracing I do not consider all that impressive. Maybe experiencing it myself will change my mind, but the Radeon 7000 series is not powerful enough in that department I think. And considering I want this card to last 4ish years, I probably won’t see ray tracing on my machine any time soon, unless FRS 3 proves to be surprisingly good.

Great! I’ve been looking forward to this! 😄

Very interesting blog post, thank you. Quite different from the “This week in KDE”, but a nice addition for software developers and tech-savy readers. I’ll keep an eye on this blog 🙂.

If you run both Pi.Alert and Pi-hole, Pi.Alert will get the information on network devices from Pi-hole. The only way of I know of excluding active devices would be adding their MAC addresses to MAC_IGNORE_LIST in pialert.conf.

Welcome 🙂. I always loved bleeding edge so Arch really suits me well. There’s probably a distro out there for everyone and you seemingly have found yours!

Woah I didn’t know that game was about to be released 😮. It’s been on my wish list for a long time. Well, I know what I’ll play tomorrow now that I completed Blasphemous 2!

Sweet. I just used the extension to go from lemmy.world to feddit.nl so I could upvote 🦊
