It looks good. I will be building a 14th Gen i3 system with 6 cores to use as a pfSense router.

Have a look at Autistici which includes free alias addresses.

Use IceCat browser plus do some about:config changes.

I'm a big fan of the concept of Obtainum, but to insure anonymity with apps, Obtainum is not an option due to not knowing if apps use GCM or Firebase, that's why F-Droid is safer because of removing any dependencies or not allowing an app like native Signal, because of it's dependencies, that's why I suggested Molly app as a safer modified version of Signal.

How does s person install that from F-Droid? Molly has an F-Doid repository.

I enjoy Session, I like what the network is trying to focus on. I gave Session due to having concerns from a libre software perspective.

I stick more with open source software and stay away from libre software, but given the kind privacy infustructure that Lokinet is trying to build, if the server/network should be under AGPLv3+ and Session shold be GPLv3 to help keep the network pure open source.

I gave up Session for SimpleX

If someone wants to use Sigbal without Google dependancies, have a look at Molly.

Does anybody know what's happening about Signal creating usernames to add people instead of numbers?

I like Pine64 because they running any operating system that runs on ARM and has an open bootloader. The Pi has a proprietary booloader so they don't work as well for BSD.

For OpenBSD firmware? They are not blobs but are binary installs as there is no such thing as a source installation, everything has to be compiled and build before it can be installed.

I believe OpenBSD firmware has an ISC license attached to them, but since OpenBSD developers develop the firmware, they don't have legal license from Intel to distribute in base, but I'm pretty sure that OpenBSD firmware has an ISC license for freedom.

No. OpenBSD develops their own drivers fot Intel iGPU l, 2.5Gb ethernet, and wi-fi. They don't have.license to include them in base, they download the firmware after first reboot if there's a basic ethernet connection.

The source code is publicly available from OpenBSD firmware folder on server, but cannot be included in the base installation.

Test it with OpenBSD and with a Linux-libre distribution to verify how open the hardware is.

Yes, I know there is a market, as tiny as it is. Imagine how much further along corporate software for Linux would be if there was a single format for installing all software in a default configuration for a fresh Linux install.

I genuinelly don't understand why Linus never develeped a universal installer like .dmg, .msi, .exe, for Linux.
