The Best Lemmy Client in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 34 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.

Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.

Proton is still a for-profit company. However, there is now the non-profit Proton Foundation that is the largest shareholder of the Proton company (not necessarily majority shareholder).

Plus, non-profits are not guaranteed to be positive. See OpenAI for example.

The foundation is the largest shareholder, but Proton has not specified whether it controls a majority.

“I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock in c/technology@lemmy.world

But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.

It is so bad, they can not talk about.

Syncthing for Android discontinued in c/fdroid@lemmy.ml

A GitHub issue was opened for Syncthing-Fork, so it will be worth watching that to know whether it will continue to be supported.

Syncthing for Android discontinued (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/14305957

Per the GitHub readme:

This app is discontinued. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Interactions (issues, PRs) are limited now, and the entire repo will be archived after the last release. Thus all contributions are preserved for any future (re)use. The forum is still open for discussions and questions. I would kindly ask you to refrain from trying to challenge the decision or asking "why-type" questions - I wont engage with them.

The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

This is extremely disappointing news. I have been using the Syncthing-Fork version, but since it is based on this app, this may be the end for that app as well.

Setting up a new laptop - How do I get around needing a Microsoft account? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

That is only an option on the Pro version. Most computers come with Home.

You should be using an RSS reader. in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 2 points 1 week ago

Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.

What is a passkey, in practice? Is it a file? A token? Can I keep it in an USB drive? How can I save it in case of device loss? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 7 points 1 week ago

Can I store a passkey in a platform agnostic way?

Yes, if you use a platform agnostic password manager that supports passkeys such as Bitwarden.

what is your Favorite passwords manager and why in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Matt@lemdro.id 78 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.

I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.

1 day left on Kickstarter for Michael Lucas’s next book: Run Your Own Mail Server (www.kickstarter.com)
 

Michael Lucas has a long history of writing books about BSD and networking including Absolute FreeBSD, Networking for Systems Administrators, and SSH Mastery, among many others. He is working on his next book: Run Your Own Mail Server: A Book for Independence & Privacy.

Summary: Running your own mail server is not only an act of defiance against some of the largest exploitative companies in history. It is not a mere education in protocols. Email is essential to modern industrial society. By running your own email, you seize control of your communications. You can tune your email to fit your needs, rather than accepting the defaults imposed by a company that exploits you without a speck of consideration for any of your issues. You own it. Running your own email requires only freely available tools, a server, and some knowledge. This book will give you that knowledge.
