I agree

Also check out the Universal Android Debloater, it’s FOSS unlike unlike the program you mentioned

Good. Fuck Israel. I hope their economy goes down the drain as quickly as possible.

Some content might not be available in certain countries because of licensing/legal issues.

The Firehawk52 guide has some ARLs that expire in 2099. I never had issues with them. Just hit Ctrl + F, search for 2099 and you’re good to go.

Btw the regular ARLs are being updated, search for 2025 and you’ll get some results.

Is this similar to KDE Connect?

I found this one on the internet a few years ago

Who uses that anyway? Back when I was using a Samsung phone, I was always annoyed because I couldn’t uninstall this bullshit

The Pixel with GrapheneOS is simply superior. No ads, no tracking, no bloatware, no bullshit, just 100% FOSS software with privacy and security in mind.

There’s a simple and intuitive application called Universal Android Debloater which does everything for you

It’s free and open source on GitHub: https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation

An Alpine user, cool! What is it like to use it as your primary desktop OS? I have only played around with it on servers or in VMs and containers.

Paru > yay

On Arch I don’t need any, I just run paru without any options, which by default invokes a full Pacman update, as well as updating all AUR packages. But I have a system maintenance script, that, besides doing some other stuff that’s specific to my system, runs paru -Sc --noconfirm to clean the Pacman package cache, and delete unneeded cloned AUR Git repos and build artifacts.

Yay doesn’t replace normal packages with AUR packages. Btw It’s not just an AUR helper, it’s a wrapper for Pacman with AUR support built-in. Check out paru btw, it’s a more modern version of yay that basically works the same way: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru

It’s impressive how many things can be achieved with nothing more than the power of open source software

Rclone with crypt seems pretty nice

It’s pretty easy. You either get it from Cargo (the Rust package manager) or add a custom repo to apt.

Cargo is the easier and safer option: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh && cargo install eza

Custom apt repo:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gpg

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eza-community/eza/main/deb.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg] http://deb.gierens.de stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y eza

In my opinion though, you should also try lsd. It’s even better than eza. You can also get it from Cargo, just a simple cargo install lsd.

You might like lsd even more than that!

You have to enable it in your shell config. For bash it’s eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

That will give you the z command.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to just yay -Syu to update everything, normal packages and AUR packages?
