Not sure how well developed this Fediverse interaction between Lemmy-Mastodon is, but can you not reply from your Lemmy account to a Mastodon post ? And please change the broken disroot dot com link in your post into https://disroot.org/ t y

With Deb packages you’re safe. With Flatpak I would be a little careful because with Debian apps that have been abandoned get some maintainer love or will be removed, while with Flatpak you can install apps that have not been updated for years, not very often but I’ve seen a few of them. Because of that I prefer to check the Flathub page of a Flatpak app before installing.

I think Kbin development is either abandoned or stalled. Perhaps Kbin fork Mbin supports the same feature ? https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin

Strato has one Euro per month Linux VPS plan (1GB RAM, 10 GB disk) which you pay per quarter, so that’s three Euros each time, four times per year. You can use a swapfile in case the lack of RAM would be a problem.

This is on their Spanish language site but also available in German language and more (see at the bottom of their pages).

Ask a friend to do the first payment ? Then you’re off to run Lemmy for at least three months.

Most Firefox forks still have support for Mozilla account sync and the extension malware blacklist, as those are useful features to have. But they do share info with Mozilla.

I believe that Tor browser and Mullvad browser do not phone home to Mozilla. That’s my conclusion after using OpenSnitch for some time. Firefox and LibreWolf do phone home Mozilla at startup.

Have a look at Snikket. https://neilzone.co.uk/2023/08/a-month-using-xmpp-using-snikket-for-every-call-and-chat For iOS Siskin works fine for calls afair. https://siskin.im/

IMHO Zulip is a great choice for text chat for teams for companies. In your case take a look at Movim, XMPP based, Movim can do blogs and more: https://movim.eu/

👏 Thanks.

That bug report is from May last year, is it really about the same bug ?

This one is recent https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bluetooth-connection-leads-to-gnome-crash/184614 and as a work-around downgrading wireplumber is suggested.

Your comment reminds me of Metallica many years ago. Their first albums were really good I thought. Then they cut their hair, their music started to sound more mainstream and I heard from friends that the band kind apologized for the anti war lyrics on their earlier albums. I guess money talks in strange ways.

+1 for Posteo

When I first heard of Beeper I thought it was interesting. But reading later that they were buying really old iPhones to jail break them for bridging with iMessage I had some doubts. Now they’re bought by the Wordpress people, who also bought Tumblr, and apparently selling user data to AI.. And from what I’ve read about bridges there is no E2EE with Matrix (what Beeper seems to use) to Signal bridge.
