Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it
  • Of course, I also use LibreWolf, Mull... but we expose ourselves to security risks this way (as is currently happening with Firefox and Mull), and besides that, you have to trust projects more and more whose code is not reviewed as thoroughly.

  • What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about?
  • Then you will love this documentary. It even mentions Germany a couple of times.

  • It seems that many people here are not aware of how much Mozilla depends on Google, so switching to them is a small consolation. Maybe it's time to support the development of new engines like Servo and Ladybird more. Servo even recently released an Android version (currently not very usable, but I downloaded it just to show support).

  • Loops by Pixelfed • Public beta (hopefully) launching in 10 hours
  • Is google recaptcha still only good option?

  • The website for Loops.video now has a countdown timer, indicating three days until... something. Either Skynet awakening, or the opening for registration of the new federated TikTok style app.
  • I don't follow too much, so I don't know what E/E/E/ is, but it would be interesting if Meta is afraid of the fediverse.

  • Your Most Frustrating Configuration Experience?
  • Rootless podman, PostgreSQL, redis, nextcloud, nginx, iptables in one....

  • Your Most Frustrating Configuration Experience?
  • I don't know, I had Nextcloud for a year on a local network and I didn't have to set an address. The bigger problem was that some applications do not accept self-signed SSL, so I had to change their code, and I don't really know how to code for Android...

  • YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog
  • Exactly. In my opinion, that's Google's biggest mistake, and I can't believe some people are okay with it. Everyone attacks YouTube as if they are the biggest villains, but let's not forget that without them, most creators would be nothing. Most people here are aware of how difficult it is to maintain such a platform, yet they are unrealistic with their attacks. And yes, I am someone who has LineageOS installed, which says enough about what I think of Google, but sometimes you have to be fair. If they banned creators from having ads within their videos, I might even consider paying for premium.

  • What comes to mind?
  • You've got to love the open-source community! If only the whole world worked like that.

  • LinkedIn
  • It was the same for me. When I saw a few days ago that they were switching to Microsoft Azure, that was the last straw for me (even though it actually makes absolutely no difference to me). The funniest part is that when I clicked to delete my account, they said: 'Are you sure? You will no longer be in contact with Jon Doe?' and I had never heard of Jon Doe. The easiest decision ever.

  • What comes to mind?
  • Any good alternatives?

  • What is the best FOSS alarm clock app?
  • I also had the same problem with Chrono and some other alarm applications. I think the ones that worked well had SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM in their permissions, but of course, that's just a guess. This one is my favorite: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

  • Germany, dyndns and port forwarding

    Hello,

    I have a Nextcloud server installed at home that works well on my LAN network, but when I try to make the server accessible via a DynDNS service, I cannot connect to it. The request doesn't even reach my server. My question is whether the router immediately blocks the request, because when I set the router to be accessible (it has separately that option), I can connect without any issues over dyndns url. Could my ISP (O2) be blocking it? I can confirm that it's not a firewall issue, and it's also not because I'm connected to the same WiFi as the server. It's not a port forwarding issue either, as I've gone through all possible options. My router is a Fritzbox 6660, and there are no logs indicating that a request has even come through.

    My second question is whether this is even allowed in Germany? Also, I've noticed that my ISP rarely changes my IP address; in fact, I haven't seen it change at all in the past few months, which is strange because in my home country, it changed every 24 hours.

    Edit: First, thank you all for your help. I will try your suggestions over the course of this week or month (due to time-related issues :) and will report back with the results. Since I am clearly a noob when it comes to self-hosting and I plan to have only a Nextcloud server for personal use, what is the best way to secure the system in these situations and allow only certain devices to access it over the external network? (if I ever manage to access it at all)

    Psychedelic substances

    There is a testing clinic near me that deal with treating depression using psychedelic substances. I'm wondering if any of you have tried something similar, referring to psychedelic substances, and if so, how did it go? In the past, I occasionally experimented with cannabis, but over time, it didn't sit well with me anymore. Does anyone have such experiences?
