The packager.
This is actually great. I hope it makes it to Firefox Android as well.
I don't actually have a use for it. But my partner is a huge tab group user on mobile, so I can't switch her off of Chrome. If this launches on Firefox Android she would probably switch. It would be great for privacy and browser diversity.
IIUC when they separated they basically ended up with a snapshot of EU regulations. So most of GDPR applies. But IDK if the DMA will apply as it was created after they split.
Yeah. For sure. If your device doesn't depend on a cloud service you can put that on your label and it is basically a gold star.
Although even local devices should get security updates. The radios and the firmware speaking the ZigBee protocol can have vulnerabilities.
Yeah, I quite like Samsung hardware, but everything they make is just bloated ad-filled crap. From phones to TVs I wouldn't touch them. Only things like low-level components that can't possibly have ads injected. (The day a Samsung NVME SSD has ads will be a sad day)
Stuck on Let's Encrypt certificate issuance due to firewall issue even after opening necessary ports
Try something like https://www.webpagetest.org/ or any other "proxy" service to confirm for youself if it is publicly accessible.
This is true and quite nice. Really the only major limitation is that the only supported form of server authentication is via Mojang/Microsoft account. So if you want to run a sever on a public address you are in for a bad time if you disable the authentication. If only there was a password option you could live pretty comfortable without any Microsoft services.
The "purchase" agreement probably says that they can terminate the license for any reason at any time. If you bought the game years ago I suspect they are actually fine to revoke access. See for example EA and other shit game companies that have taken down games when they take the online DRM servers offline.
Yup. So many of these "alternative" browsers have very questionable security practices. At the very minimum they don't have a staffed team to respond to zero-day exploits. But often they also make large changes without too much consideration for security or disable security features when they get in the way of features. I hate saying "use on of the big boys" but for most users their browser is likely their largest attack surface by an order of magnitude, it's job is literally to download an execute untrusted code and the API surface is huge. It takes real resources and careful development to develop and maintain a browser, and there are very few organizations that I would trust to do this.
So unless you have a strong reason I would highly recommend sticking to one of the major browsers.
The problem with separating Calendar + Mail + Contacts is that they work best together. Although to be far I am not aware of an open-source system that effectively combines them.
Calendar event invites an updates go over mail. So you want your calendar application to automatically be able to get those. Also options like "automatically add invites from contacts to my calendar" is an awesome feature. Contacts can also be used for spam filtering (although this integration is a bit easier to do externally).
So currently I am using Nextcloud (self-hosted) although I don't really like it because it is pretty slow on my low-powered VPS. But even still it doesn't actually have proper email integration. There are bugs open and slowly moving but I'm still using Thunderbird to process most of my calendar stuff.
Not to mention JMAP which is slowly progressing which would be a huge improvement, especially for mobile clients. It also combines these three services.
The worst thing to me is not just that I can't change the browser defaults, but many actions can be overridden by websites. Like Ctrl+h opens my history on every single site. Except for Google Docs. Why!!! Don't let websites hijack standard hotkeys.
But I would also kill for customizable keyboard shortcuts in general. Especially if I can run custom JS from a shortcut.
You don't need a domain. However it is probably a good idea.
If you don't want to purchase your own domain you can likely use a free subdomain, this will often come from a dynamic DNS provider.
However if you can I would strongly recommend getting your own domain sooner rather than later. If only because it means that you can own your email address which is basically the keys to all third-party services you use these days. Domains are pretty cheap, probably <$20/year for a generic like .com or the TLD of your country. Personally I would happy skip out on eating out once a year to have my domain.
