I started to do it to keep the dog dirt out of my sheets. It's the first time I have ever done this in my life. I now feel like an adult.

I think many Firefox users are tech savvy enough to know that Firefox for iOS is just a reskinned Safari. They know that it isn't the real-deal and so any stats on who uses Firefox on iOS are kind of misrepresenting the situation.

iOS would have root access to aGPS (or even real GPS) to determine location. There's no easy way to spoof that against a determined asshole actor.

The assumption is that legitimate companies who sell software will sign it and that signature proves it came from that company who you trust because of their publicly known legitimacy. It's a bit of circular reasoning. But it does round back towards that legitimacy - if it is found that they violate your trust, they lose public trust and thus lose sales.

Luckily new OSes (cough NOT WINDOWS) are able to sandbox applications and prevent them from accessing resources without declaring the need to access it.

And as for the signing certificate, I think the MS Store will allow any signed app. They just offer the cheaper signing service.

That makes for bad gift giving imo because then they could've just gone out and bought something for themselves.

I do the same thing and I am lauded within my family as an excellent gift giver.

You could let people host their own as a method of scaling. But that limits it to geeks like us.

Use kubernetes and let it scale and pay for hosting on cdns.

Uhg it drives me nuts when I search for some obscure programming topic and then I get links to local restaurants. That's not what I was searching for!

Mozilla has 0 browsers for iOS except a skin over Safari.

So really it would just be a browser for the EU and nothing for everyone else.

 

Edit2: OK Per feedback I am going to have a dedicated external NAS and a separate homeserver. The NAS will probably run TrueNAS. The homeserver will use an immutable os like fedora silverblue. I am doing a dedicated NAS because it can be good at doing one thing - serving files and making backups. Then my homeserver can be good at doing whatever I want it to do without accidentally torching my data.

I haven't found any good information on which distro to use for the NAS I am building. Sure, there are a few out there. But as far as I can tell, none are immutable and that seems to be the new thing for long term durability.

Edit: One requirement is it will run a media server with hardware transcoding. I'm not quite sure if I can containerize jellyfin and still easily hardware transcode without a more expensive processor that supports hyper-v.

 

You're forced to use Cloudflare. Don't they track ... everything?

 

My family uses credit cards for all purchases and we pay them off in full each month. Although sometimes we'll use a 0% APR promotion for bigger purchases.

Which cards do you use for maximizing your rewards?
