Actual is libre and gratis

You should still be able to access everything through tailscale once you switch everything over to use local IP addresses.

I’ve been using the FP3 since it came out, and no complaints yet. However, they recently discontinued a lot of the spare parts. Which goes directly against the concept of having a long lasting repairable phone.

Agreed, if from a corporation. FOSS services are usually also gratis, and can be compiled from source if not.

You can block instances yourself, I personally don’t like when an instance makes that decision for me.

Iceland

80% of our produced energy goes to aluminium smelting.

Basically everyone gets evacuated from the affected area and are staying with friends and family in Reykjavík. Grindavík is a very small town compared to the rest of the world. The government has offered to buy properties from the ones who cannot return, since the erruptions have been going for a few years in that area and there’s no sign of stopping.

To answer your question for the rescuers, researchers, and workers left in the area, once the eruption starts it’s quite easy to predict the flow. Luckily there are a few other roads without the risk of lava flow, mainly due to lava diverting barricades. In case of emergencies they use helicopters.

Other parts in eruption risk zones would be similar, since it’s just not worth it for people to stay in those areas and most people can stay with family. And repairs to the road are usually pretty quick when the eruption dies down.

Fair enough :)

Is Boost really that much better than Eternity or Voyager that you put up with ads?

Same, but after unlocking the bootloader, it had a very clean LineageOS install.

Not without being fertilized first.

Huh?

Just self-host a VPN on a VPS so you can enable disk encryption and disable logging.

Exactly why I left that company.

Specifically free (libre) licences, as permissive licences allow corporations to improve/adapt the software without contributing back to the community.

I only work on software with GPL compatible licences now.

I was working for a place that was the market leader in a certain niche of simulation software. Their simulation was about 10x more efficient than their competitors. However, that version of the software is strictly off limits for the public, and made a version which they sold with a sleep statement so that it was only 1.1x faster than the next best solution. That way they could remain market leaders any time the competitors released a better version. Even though many systems rely on growing simulations to simulate bigger scenarios that could help save lives.

Just an example of capitalism impeding progress.

Anything Red Hat. Screw GPL corporatism.

ripgrep does exactly what you want

Privacy doesn’t exist without the ability to compile and self host.

I was using proton for a while, but they are pretty expensive if you want features like catchall and more aliases, on top of restricting clients.

Migadu offers complete email freedom for $20 ($10 for students) a year, unlimited accounts, aliases, identities, etc. I’ve been very happy with them.
