I love RSS.

I run FreshRSS as my server via docker and connect to it via Read You on Android and NewsFlash on Linux

I also run RSS-Bridge in docker. It has been really useful as it can generate RSS feeds for many websites that don’t natively have them.

The scene where Al Pacino gets slapped by a big black guy wearing only a cowboy hat and a jockstrap in Cruising (1980)

If you want free, I’d recommend Protom Mail.

For paid, I really like Mailbox.org and Posteo. They work with IMAP/POP3, CardDAV, and CalDAV

I like having congee or pho for breakfast

Sometimes I have fried rice with chinese sausage and eggs

Pan-fried Salmon, Miso Soup, and Rice is good too

Magic Earth is not an open source app. They haven’t released any source code. Mentioning it as the OP title is about open source maps app.

https://www.magicearth.com/faq-en/

Will Magic Earth be Open Source?

No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.

That being said, I love using Magic Earth for driving. It works quite well as long as your area is up-to-date on OSM

Not when you use your own modem

I’m not going to rent Comcast’s modem/access point combo. It sucks.

I’m confused. Wouldn’t he have access to his email and maybe phone number that is attached to his Microsoft account to prove who he is?

They get the traffic data from some third party, not by following their users like gmaps.

https://www.magicearth.com/faq-en/

Do you share data with third parties?

We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it’s not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.

They have a good privacy policy though. I haven’t really had many issues with their app.

It’s a paid service, so it’d be a bad default for a web browser. Not saying it’s a bad search engine; saying that it’s a bad search engine default for the every day folk who just installed a web browser.

I don’t think California would be able to handle the influx of people moving to California if they do pass universal healthcare. As a State, they don’t have as much funding as a Federal program would have.

There’s no AI on DDG

Uh… The settings for AI Chat and DuckAssist are both on by default when you use DuckDuckGo. You can see them in Settings -> AI Features

If Microsoft announces that this is going to be forcibly installed on all versions of Windows, then we can grab our pitchforks. Ideally this would end up being an opt-in feature. If it’s an opt-out when they release, again, pitchforks.

Well, per Microsoft’s website:

On devices that are not powered by a Snapdragon® X Series processor, installation of a Windows update will be required to run Recall.

So it sounds like everyone on Windows 11 will get it via Windows Update eventually

Self host FreshRSS, use the GReader or Fever API link that’s built into FreshRSS to sync to other apps on your local network. If you want to access the sync remotely, use Tailscale or setup Wireguard. I personally just run Wireguard in OpenWrt

There is no need to expose FreshRSS to the internet

Someone did a ELI3 explanation for this a couple days ago. The ELI5 explanation was more complicated so someone asked for ELI3 lol

ELI3

Pouring a cup of juice is something an adult needs to be involved with.

sudo is when you ask for permission to pour your own cup of juice. You ask an adult, they give you the cup and the juice, and then you’re responsible for pouring it. If the adult isn’t paying attention they may leave the fridge open for you to go back for more juice or another beverage, but otherwise you’re limited to the amount of juice the adult has given you.

run0 is when the adult just gets you a cup of juice. You tell them what you want, they go and pour the juice, and just give you the cup with the juice in it. You never enter the kitchen, so you don’t have access to the fridge, just your cup of juice.

Basically, the SUID bit makes a program get the permissions of the owner when executed. If you set /bin/bash as SUID, suddenly every bash shell would be a root shell, kind of. Processes on Linux have a real user ID, an effective user ID, and also a saved user ID that can be used to temporarily drop privileges and gain them back again later.

So tools like sudo and doas use this mechanism to temporarily become root, then run checks to make sure you’re allowed to use sudo, then run your command. But that process is still in your user’s session and process group, and you’re still its real user ID. If anything goes wrong between sudo being root and checking permissions, that can lead to a root shell when you weren’t supposed to, and you have a root exploit. Sudo is entirely responsible for cleaning the environment before launching the child process so that it’s safe.

Run0/systemd-run acts more like an API client. The client, running as your user, asks systemd to create a process and give you its inputs and outputs, which then creates it on your behalf on a clean process tree completely separate from your user session’s process tree and group. The client never ever gets permissions, never has to check for the permissions, it’s systemd that does over D-Bus through PolKit which are both isolated and unprivileged services. So there’s no dangerous code running anywhere to exploit to gain privileges. And it makes run0 very non-special and boring in the process, it really does practically nothing. Want to make your own in Python? You can, safely and quite easily. Any app can easily integrate sudo functionnality fairly safely, and it’ll even trigger the DE’s elevated permission prompt, which is a separate process so you can grant sudo access to an app without it being able to know about your password.

Run0 takes care of interpreting what you want to do, D-Bus passes the message around, PolKit adds its stamp of approval to it, systemd takes care of spawning of the process and only the spawning of the process. Every bit does its job in isolation from the others so it’s hard to exploit.

Isn’t Jerboa an Android native app? I don’t think they have a web app like how Alexandrite or Photon are.

Just looked into these. It doesn’t look like any of these have official Linux apps :(

I live near multiple regional hubs. I have no subscription myself. It takes them 4-7 days to get my package to me.

My friends who live on the same block as me gets them in 1-2 days with their prime memberships

This includes if we both order the same exact things.

So yeah, YMMV

Wait… I already now get annoying ads in the middle of watching a show. Now they want to add more ads to Prime Video? That’s absolutely ridiculous.

I personally like AirVPN. Pretty good speeds depending on the server. You can port forward and have up to 5 devices connected simultaneously. Make sure you’re using the Wireguard protocol.

Only issue is that Eddie (their GUI) kinda sucks. Works okay on Linux, and probably same on Windows. The Android one just really sucks.

I personally just download the wireguard configs to use.
