Not sure how well developed this Fediverse interaction between Lemmy-Mastodon is, but can you not reply from your Lemmy account to a Mastodon post ? And please change the broken disroot dot com link in your post into https://disroot.org/ t y

With Deb packages you're safe. With Flatpak I would be a little careful because with Debian apps that have been abandoned get some maintainer love or will be removed, while with Flatpak you can install apps that have not been updated for years, not very often but I've seen a few of them. Because of that I prefer to check the Flathub page of a Flatpak app before installing.

Strato has one Euro per month Linux VPS plan (1GB RAM, 10 GB disk) which you pay per quarter, so that's three Euros each time, four times per year. You can use a swapfile in case the lack of RAM would be a problem.

This is on their Spanish language site but also available in German language and more (see at the bottom of their pages).

Ask a friend to do the first payment ? Then you're off to run Lemmy for at least three months.

Most Firefox forks still have support for Mozilla account sync and the extension malware blacklist, as those are useful features to have. But they do share info with Mozilla.

I believe that Tor browser and Mullvad browser do not phone home to Mozilla. That's my conclusion after using OpenSnitch for some time. Firefox and LibreWolf do phone home Mozilla at startup.

Have a look at Snikket. https://neilzone.co.uk/2023/08/a-month-using-xmpp-using-snikket-for-every-call-and-chat For iOS Siskin works fine for calls afair. https://siskin.im/

IMHO Zulip is a great choice for text chat for teams for companies. In your case take a look at Movim, XMPP based, Movim can do blogs and more: https://movim.eu/

signal-cli software can do this without physical phone. https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/wiki/Linking-other-devices-(Provisioning)

👍 Readeck looks nice. https://readeck.org/

👏 Thanks.

That bug report is from May last year, is it really about the same bug ?

This one is recent https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bluetooth-connection-leads-to-gnome-crash/184614 and as a work-around downgrading wireplumber is suggested.

It could be a quirk of Acer indeed.

A propos, the advanced option of the Grub menu with Linux Mint will just show all the kernel boot options. For example, if you already have three or four older kernel versions you can choose among the older ones in case the new kernel would be causing problems. With a fresh install you would have only one kernel and its recovery boot option.

If you do not want to (completely) self-host but do want freedom with your custom domain then Migadu is a superb choice, it's like heaven/nirvana/paradise 🎇 for email admins 😀 https://migadu.com/

And you can technically still do some sort of part-time self host. The very difficult part of self-hosting email these days is the sending part (and the big and smaller tech bros rejecting your emails), not the receiving part. So if you want to learn, you can self host the receiving part, store your email at home or on some rented server and then use Migadu to send your emails out. Migadu has a feature called MX proxy which can be used for this part-time self hosting take.
