I think on Firefox multi account containers add-on + temporary containers add-on should mitigate this sort of tracking.

I've ridden bikes like these at a local museum a couple of times. They are great fun to ride! They are a bit tricky to get on an off and they are fixed gear as well. I an not sure they would fair well on a daily commute, but for cruise around the city or a an excursion to the beach with the kids, these bikes would be good fun.

Maybe peertube?

Yeah, xmpp is a great protocol, but everyone needs to be in the vicinity of the server. A mesh network (p2p) where every client also relays messages for other clients is better suited for this usecase. I think meshtastic is an open standard for this. Briar is a valid alternative that works with phones, which most people already own. Not the greatest idea to bring those to protests, though because of network surveillance attacks by police forces. A meshtastic device would solve this problem.

I wish Snikket could work on Yunohost! 😢 I have a core i5-10500T and 32G

Well yunohost seems to support prosody, that should work very well. Snikket is basically just prosody with some extensions preinstalled. If you want an xmpp server on yunohost you could just install prosody or alternatively run snikket in a docker container. Prosody might even be easier to setup if you can install it via the yunohost gui.

I still love getting messages via xmpp from friends and family using my own snikket/ejabberd instances after years of use. Calls as well.

Video conferences via jitsi meet fill my heart with joy since the covid epidemic. These are also xmpp based. It's just a cool lightweight protocol.

Oh I see, if you need to run stuff that is not working out of the box, like gaming peripherals, an immutable distro probably is not the right choice... That's good to know, and probably will always be the tradeoff, but you get a distro that is very hard to break on the plus side...

These solutions should work on any distro. Why not on bazzite, it says here it's based on fedora.

Ask in the simeacing on linux matrix room, the guys are very knowledgeable. It's linked by some poster below. Devices like handbrakes often don't get recognised as joysticks, because they don't have buttons. You have to add a little config file and it will be recognised just fine on linux.

I had that problem with my mx 400 after using it for many years. Found a lifehack on YouTube where you put a piece of cardboard inside the mouse on the switch somewhere if I remember correctly. My daughter still uses that mouse. It's an easy fix that should work with any mouse basically. I think I fixed that one around ten years ago and it's still going strong.

Simplewall works great, it's open source. And yes, there are a couple of million requests made by windows apps alone, which are completely fine to block. Simplewall also blocks windows telemetry. I have to use win11 at work and it's an absolute ahitstorm of network requests that you don't get to see when using windows firewall.

Glaswire looks beautiful and functions well, but you will hit the paywall after a couple of weeks (I used this on the around 2010 I think)

...It won"t be turned on by default, yet.
