Not surprising. The US is a petro state. It will never want to switch to something else. China and the EU are far more motivated.

I like Zim. Used it for years. The big advantages you can have many 1000s of pages and it just uses a folder tree not a database, so you have direct and attachment access if you need it. Zim is a true hierarchical wiki not a simple notes app. There a plugins you can enable for more advanced features.

Zim does get slower with more pages for some operations like searches and some changes. I have one wiki with 4500 pages and do feel it is getting a bit slower sometimes. You can however just create another notebook at any time as long as your content has reasonable dividing lines.

Linux only, SSH works fine. Not e2ee. Nextcloud works fine but extra work unless you use a service provider. It can be e2ee but not normally so. Syncthing worth a look too. It is not cloud storage, but direct device transfer. Bitwarden send is useful too if you want to juat send file someone, and thunderbird is working on thunderbird send which might be interesting.

Maybe Synology if you want your own lan NAS?

All email services have vendor lock-in unless your using your own domain.

For what it is worth, I just moved my mail from my ISP to my own domain at a hosting service after 30 years. Took about 5 months to get everything changed but if I can do it anyone can.

Downside, using your own domain is probably less private but kind of depends.

In project management lore there is the tripple constraint: time, money, freatures. But there is another insidious dimension not talked about. That is risk.

The natural progession in a business if there is no push back is that management wants every feature under the sun, now, and for no money. So the project team does the only thing it can do, increase risk.

The memory leak thing is an example of risk. It is also an example of some combination of poor project management including insufficient push back against management insanity and bad business mangement in general which might be an even bigger problem.

My point, this is a common natural path of things but it does not have to always be tolerated.

I get your point but I do not think you should justify releasing crap code because you think it has minimal impack on the customer. A memory leak is a bug and just should not be there.

Generally go with someone or better yet a group.

Whatever https://www.privacyguides.org/ recommends. I am not a big VPN user. I care more about using good apps and prefering the web browser over apps and configuring that.

Same config, I have been using my 8a with graphene since Jan. Works great.

I actually put Google Play and the few apps that use that in the Private Space and just use clean apps in my owner profile. There are a lot of different ways to divide up apps between Owner Profile, Private Space, the 31 separate user profiles, and work profiles.

As for app sources I use mostly Graphene, FDroid, Aurora, and Obtainium stores and tools. I only use Play Store directly in my Private Space. There are pros and cons of course.

Wondering same thing. Allowing web interface access via wan has proven to be unwise in general.

Also wondering if DDWRT has the vulnerabilities?

Seems a bit over blown. Looks like firmware update and config reset should close the issue.

I specifically chose a shared hosting situation so they deal with the issues in this case. I do have a VPS and could have placed it there but I did not want the hassle and it is not something my wife could manage if something ever happened to me.

As far as unlimited, they do have such a plan but I do not need it. 30 is infinite in my case.

Depends on your use case. I want partitioning by user and separate credentials by use. So a no for me and catch all.

Yes. I do not use them all, but I can and my cPanel shared hosting only costs $25 per year. I can use web hosting part too if I want. It is all included. The above cost does not include the domain name itself.

See: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/shared/

Edit: Looks like after first year it will be about $50/year.

Your own domain is not great for privacy though like others have said the registrar can hide your info at least from whois. If you already have a domain lookup the whois record and see what it says. Presumably even with whois privacy your identity is probably discoverable.

Custom domains are not great for deliverability too. Though mostly mine is fine. Sometimes Yahoo and ATT manged accounts give me delivery issues.

What your own domain is good for is nice, long term, and portable addresses. Also for many cheap addresses. I get something like 30 email accounts with my basic Namecheap cPanel account for about $25 per year.

No you probably sue them both.

By the way, lot of crap paper out there too. Lot do not mark which side to print on first and this is related to curl and shineyness. One has to guess. If your getting a lot of jams try flipping the paper over.

Our last ream has a deffective narrow page every 4th page too. I had to manually pull those out.

My first printer in the early 80s was an EPSON dot matrix for $800. The second was an Apple laser printer in the late 80s for $3500. The third was a Brother momochrome MFC laser printer for $500 in the 00s. You can see why they are crap, huge price reductiions. Even more if you consider inflation and capability.

Always look at per page cost. Generally that means monochrome laser.

Edit: The issues I have had with Linux and the Brother MFC is firmware upgade as it wants to use Windows for that. I have had some Postscript compatability issues too. The paper feeder for the scanner is not perfect either. It can skew the paper and you have to watch for double feeds. Not a defect but a missing function, I cannot figure out how to fax from my computer or USB stick. An oddity, it does not seem to maintain time when the unit is off and never has which is really annoying especially for faxing. Mostly like the printer but not the above issues so much.

Mike Waltz was actually one of the more professional of the by in large clown show. He may have cared.

Interesting. Government record keeping rules require logging of many things. Normal Signal probably would not comply. This might.
