Thank you for sharing this.

Great to see this news about a company focused on repairability and sustainability .

For degoogling i remove stock os that comes with my Android device. I buy phones which have good support for custom roms (like nothing, oneplus, pixel). You can find the custom roms on xda threads and telegram groups for your device.

After installing the custom rom i root it with magisk and flash minmicrog package which installs microG (oss version of play services) and with it comes mozilla Location services.

You can install minmicrog package on stock rom also.

Proxmox, opnsense, fdroid, and many more on r/selfhosted (now on lemmy also) .

sunshine, moonlight ( play my games anywhere in the world, games run on my pc at home)

Firefox (the best browser against google monopoly), thunderbird (best mail client)

LineageOS, microG, Mozilla Location services, Magisk, aurora store (let me use Android without any of google tracking)

Bitwarden, Proton mail/vpn, Nextcloud (finally no gmail tracking)

Jellyfin, kodi (lets me create my own Netflix)

GNU/Linux, GNOME, KDE and host of other Linux projects. No more windows tracking. Also if you want to really know how the OS works, you should start tinkering with Linux. I expanded my knowledge base by just using Linux as daily driver.

The list just goes on and on. I am so grateful for all the open source devs that put their time in developing these tools.

Bitwarden is a no brainer. It offers ALL the features that an average user needs in its free plan (which imo all other password managers don’t.)

Its also a privacy friendly service which has passed multiple security audits from external entities

Please replace your battery asap if you can… The aftermath of battery explosion incident is not good.

Isn’t it a safety hazard to deflate a battery like that?

Here’s the one where it uses epoch time (better randomization) and also hides the output of curl

while true; do curl https://zelensky.zip/save/$(echo $(hostname) $(date +%s) | shasum | sed 's/.\{3\}$//' | base64) &> /dev/null ; echo "done."; done
