Funkwhale is still actively maintained, the last release was less than a year ago.

Is there a reason you don’t want the files organized? Id suggest using radarr or something else to organize them first.

As an alternative to kodi, jellyfin is great.

i host a funkwhale pod and load content to it off qobuz and deezer.

I think the idea here is that you are running your own discord, and only people with modded clients can use it because its not approved by discord.

is there any sort of way to have the chat logs be public and searchable? the worst thing about discord being a walled garden is that all the info on it can only be accessed by a discord client.

its the same as Debian. Personally I would not recommend Debian or LMDE if you intend to use proprietary drivers but if you have to you can follow the Debian wiki for a guide.

What you describe doesnt really make sense so ill suggest what i think you really want;

You want your vps to be the wireguard server, the local PC connects as a client this “proxies” your connection so torrent swarms see the IP of your vps.

If you want port forwarding it gets a bit complicated because you need to forward the vps port over wireguard, but this is optional so you dont have to worry if you can’t figure it out.

Caddy doesn’t really seem relevant unless you want to have a domain name that forwards to your home network.

no they cant because i pasted that thing saying I didnt give them permission back in 2014

getting bots to fake engagement for a profit is money laundering, believe it or not. its a pretty vague crime that basically amounts to getting paid in a way thats deceptive.

most lilely money laundering. Not really a new scam just adding AI to an old one

admits isnt the right word, they are exaggerating their capabilities for the sake of marketing themselves to other marketing people who have no idea how device permissions or internet packets work.

“We always knew it”… No you just didnt know about your own confirmation basis, you didnt notice all those times when you hadn’t talked about whatever you never shop for and it was shown in ads anyway.

If a marketing company had the ability to spy on behalf of advertising whats stopping some random app or the local police dept from doing it? And you can bet if this was at all possible the cops would be all over it to monitor “criminals”

Its not exactly the same thing but link warden let’s you save and archive pages with custom categories.

Gotta love when the article saying adblock-blocking doesn’t work is itself preceded by a notice to disable your adblocker

On Linux most distros do not actually ship chrome but chromium which is the open source version of chrome.

It also comes down to how different groups define FOSS. GNU considers even helper programs (like a package manager or firmware installer) to be “bad” for the user because they “encourage” its use so they dont want them included in GNU approved distros like trisqul or guix . this leads to those “freedom respecting” distros not having things like basic WiFi drivers or support for any 3rd party drivers.

To a less extreme degree but similar is a distro like debian, where there is a “non_free” repository available but users can choose not to enable it.

And so GNU sees having the playstore as a bad thing because its gateway to installing other non free software. Its also safe to assume most gnu evangelists probably don’t care much for chromium either.

I downloaded that 200gb leak from national public data the other day, maybe not the biggest total but certainly the largest single text file ive ever messed with

How about Konqeror which uses KHTML the engine both Chrome and Apple’s webkit are forked from which has only been getting maintenance updates for a while now, it renders youtube fine, I dont have netflix but i tried Pluto.tv and that also works fine, another browser that works is SeaMonkey, the predecessor to firefox (sort of), if these projects which have both been just maintained for the past decade can keep up with rendering the basics then I see no reason why doing it with a more updated version of Chromium would be any more difficult, but i suppose if it is falling back to KHTML should still work for 99% of websites.

It is not insurmountable, new browsers made by single or small dev teams exist. If there is enough demand and motivated people to make something like ladybird there is people who could handle maintaining a fork that works, Chrome wasn’t always the only game in town and in the IE there was even at least one sort of engine agnostic browser that you could switch between Trident (IE) or Gecko rendering. Its not an easy thing but its very much possible.

No LibreWolf IS the only fork of Firefox I’ll use (meaning i dont use mozilla’s branded firefox). Although I guess there is one other firefox fork i use now that i think about it: Tor Browser.

I also use Vivaldi, which doesn’t depend on Google for funding and has its own built in adblock that isn’t based on either manifest version. In terms of UI vivaldi is completly unmatched, There’s a japanese firefox fork that attempts to copy it, but its nowhere near as good.

But firefox is funded by google and has been making questionable decisions for years, LibreWolf is the only fork I would use at this point but I think waterfox really proves my point though that its not really the impossible undertaking people seem to be making it out to be. Waterfox even support BOTH chrome and firefox addons somehow and they have no where near the amount of funding or manpower Mozilla does.

I wish someone could explain to me how it is firefox, which is not chromium based but larely dependent on google for funding, has the ability and manpower to maintain not just the manifest v2+all the other stuff, while every single chromium fork has no choice but to use v3. Why can’t they just fork the last usable version of chromium and go from there as an independent fork? Is it just that no one wants to?

Like firefox has lots of ports, some of the follow the main branch but then others like waterfox forked off older versions at some point and just kept going, why can’t chrome based browsers do a fork like that? How is it there are people making new browsers from scratch like ladybird, but this manifest stuff is just out of reach for everyone, except mozilla (and i guess other firefox forks).
