Noticed a support suggestion from a few hours ago : https://mastodon.social/@i2p/112281815999233411

I like Linux because it let’s me do whatever I want on it. Windows is so controlling. For example in Windows, there are lots of occasions where a window will pop up asking you do make a decision, and while that window is up, you cannot click on any of the other windows. Say I want to save a file, but I want to look at the document. If the save window is up, I can’t review the document because it wont let me. That’s so freaking annoying.

I hear you. Another thing I like about Linux is the virtual consoles. When the GUI would show the same thing you just described, and imagine you'd have some 50 program windows open, you can just switch with control alt F1 to a virtual console, log in and shut down a certain program or do some manual page reading. And after that simply switch back to the GUI.

pizza for scale :)

Thanks. tl;dr :

Speedometer 3 work has led to significant optimizations to the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine

Faster ? Did they implement DNS-prefetch or some other preloading ?

I felt like the software “kanboard” fit the deal the most in terms of lightweight but I feel like the tracking abilities are kinda restrictive for my needs and Google Keep can do the most of it without additional maintenance.

There's also Nextcloud Deck, which has an Android companion app. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/it.niedermann.nextcloud.deck/ I am not sure how well Deck and Notes inside a Nextcloud web interface could work together but if I remember correctly Deck entries show up as Tasks in Nextcloud, in your customized welcome dashboard after logging in.

Since you are considering kanboard and wekan, take Focalboard https://www.focalboard.com/ in consideration as well.

Same

Thanks.

Both of you make valid points. The trouble is that the Internet is getting more complicated and also getting more exploited by corporations, e.g. with the recent addition of the A.I. hype. And all kind of people think that they know the answer but later it turns out that they were wrong (Take for example all the Apple fans years ago thinking that Apple + privacy was a really good way of life). The other trouble is that maybe only a few VPN providers are really trustworthy. And then your browser fingerprint can be unique if you add too many extensions or fiddle with certain settings, which means you are track-able and user profiles can be created. And so on and so forth.

It makes sense to think about what you want to protect and avoid. Here some generic suggestion :

• Get yourself a pi-hole at home for your devices to connect to.
• Limit the amount of Java-Script in your web browsers. Lots of websites will do fine.
• Limit the amount of phone apps usage (like you wrote)
• Use Tor browser (slow) or Mullvad VPN in some cases you want to hide your IP address
• Be weary about default settings of Firefox, take a look at LibreWolf
• Use different browsers for different tasks
