  • Web Browser telemetry - 2025 edition

    Jump

  • Thank you for posting this! I assumed some FF-based browsers, while claiming to remove telemetry, in fact still phoned home to a degree. This is good know!

    Also, I was surprised by a few others on the list, like Mullvad, Kagi, and DuckDuckGo, being so straightforward -- not that making fewer connections implies better privacy, as even a single connection can transmit any kind of data, but moreso that there some browsers that are designed to operate with less complexity.

    Really surprised by Zen, which is a FF derivative claiming to be all about a 'beautiful' and 'simple' web browsing experience, having a ton of connections.

  • Why are popes always really old?

  • The short, easy answer: it typically takes a lifetime of service for the rest of the church to determine if they fit the bill to be Pope.

  • If you have a smart TV, you're already at a disadvantage.

    One solution to consider might be a black hole DNS on your local network, like Pi-Hole, that can target this device and prevent all Google requests.

    Another, unfortunately, might be to get a dumb TV and use an HTPC as your streaming solution for the content you already watch.

    And another might be to look into custom TV OS options out in the wild.

  • Best Back Up Solution For Multiple Servers

    Jump

  • What's your hypervisor manager? Or are you just bare metal?

    For VMWare and Proxmox both, I would recommend the community edition of Veeam. It can handle up to 10 VMs for free.

    If you've got the funds as a small-to-large business, Veeam's first paid tier, on a yearly basis, is a solid option to backup even more.

    Caveat emptor if you buy a license (or not): Veeam runs on Windows only. I have used, like, a single internal network Windows VM dedicated just to Veeam before. It has an easy to pick up UX after a little research, and the UI is clean.

    Bacula is deprecated, unfortunately.

  • Oops! I shared the wrong link, and also meant to say 'Somewhat in progress.' Explains why I got downvoted.

    There are on-going efforts to create what is know as App Communication Scopes in GrapheneOS, which covers similar ground to their Storage Scopes and Contacts Scopes. It's been a WIP for while, though.

  • Finding an open source project

    Jump

  • I have looked for something similar. There are a number of spaces where FOSS project lists are maintained, but they are often focused on a singular topics like 'privacy' or something akin, and they aren't often parts of larger lists that can be sorted based on the conditions you mentioned above.

    The closest thing, if you are interested in other possible tools that might help: Alternative.to, a crowdsourced software searching tool, which has a means of filtering to show only, say, open source projects, or sort by tags that denote stacks used, languages used, etc. (see screenshot of tags I added). It has been useful enough for my own needs when looking for what you've been looking for.

    Either way, best of luck! I haven't been able to find something yet, myself.

  • New version of AI New Bot

  • Less of an axis and more of general left-center-right, all with regards to which news outlets tend to lean one way in tone and language choice vs. another. You can select summaries of each bias to understand those choices in the app. It also helps break down a few other items of note:

    While this may be beyond the scope of your efforts, it does do some solid highlighting of news sources for me.

    There are a few Ground.news bots floating around Lemmy -- or at least there used to be -- that would comment on posts to provide some or all of the above.
