Haven’t tried halloy, but it sounds cool, I wish rust build with shared libs in mind, instead of everything link statically, but it sounds interesting, I’ll see how it is compared to srain which is my current choice…
why toxic? Or better yet, define toxic.
mozilla private derivatives such as librewolf on the desktop and mull on android I just fine. So FF keeps being relevant as not being a derivative from chromium/chrome, it can remain apart from google disabling adds removing extensions.
So yes, FF is food to thrive, and so its derivatives will…
I has improved quite a bit. The phone app still requires navigating over its settings to get less battery consumption, and having ntfy or any other unifiedPush notification provider available in the phone. But with the default configs, you get Jami working at least. I tried it before, and I found before synchronization between devices was a mess. Currently it just works. I still find it hard on immediate/urgent calls or messages, which might not happen when you expect, but other than that it’s working.
On the desktop, the default configs are pretty sane.
And the best part, it’s being actively developed. And the UI is undergoing through lots of improvements. So if usability is your concern, it’s getting better, and each release improves over the prior one…
The audit is true, but at least Jami didn’t make up its own crypto lib, it uses standard already in use crypto stuff. To there’s a huge difference there.
BTW, they are actually re-writing stuff… But yes, they need more recent audits…
Have you read it’s github front page?
This is an experimental cryptographic network library. It has not been formally audited by an independent third party that specializes in cryptography or cryptanalysis. Use this library at your own risk.
BTW, if you look at its issues (including closed ones, which most probably aren’t really closed) you’ll find pretty interesting discussions about its crypto not being right. That said, I’m not sure what irungentoo brings to the picture…
At any rate, if you’re looking for distributed messaging, I’d look into Jami. It also uses DHT and something similar to torrents mechanism. Jami is my only option so far for distributed messaging. There’s also Briar, but I don’t like it for regular messaging, particularly on phones (too much battery usage), neither its underlying technology, but if it’s to your liking, then that’s another option for distributing messaging.
What I post from lemmy.ml wouldn’t be seen there if that were the case, but it’s seen there, so that doesn’t seem the case…
BTW. I’ve already joined… That said, I see the same posts missing. Of course that doesn’t apply to one I made myself from lemmy.ml. There’s also a bot one from 9 days ago, but the rest are at least 1 month old…
pending for subscription, we’ll see, and while pending, still not syncing properly…
1·1 month agoI do use “undetermined”. Thanks a lot. I’ll be asking lemmy.ml somwhere…
3·1 month agoWhat is implied with alacritty not being customizable, what is then
.config/alacritty/alacritty.tomlmeant for? That said, I’d argue kitty has hard coded what fonts can be used with it, though some might think this is good, but in my mind it’s a limitation.At any rate, this is a matter of taste. I use alacritty with screen. Some might argue kitty is better because of tabs supports, and if that’s a thing for them, then that’s fine…
At any rate, again, terminal emulators are a matter of taste…
Because I have no clue what’s going on… I’m assuming you guys know better.
And no, they don’t seem to be old… There’s a recent post about dino I don’t see, I don’t see either a post about some messages not decrypted, another about dergchart, and finally another one about gajim…
If there’s nothing to comment here, that’s fine… I was just wondering.
You might want to set both configs off. Not just one, although one seems off by default, but better make sure both get off in librewolf.cfg…
IT might be, but librelinux for example really removes all binary blobs, although there’s some tooling around doing that, so new cases might be missed without human inspection, but they are careful about binary blobs… So from the whole spectrum of open source stuff, if you care about binary blobs, chances are better on the libre/free SW side.
23·1 month agoWell this one is not false, :(
browser.search.serpEventTelemetry.enabledThough this one is:
browser.search.serpEventTelemetryCategorization.enabledSo it seems not quite fully disabled… But telemetry is supposed to be off on librewolf…
Probably Guix, and GNU endorsed distributions. Binary blobs are not allowed on free/libre distributions, or not on their official repos. That said, most gnu + linux distributions don’t care about those. Most will take care, if they get to realize it, about distribution licenses, so if something has some sort of legal issue to be distributed, that will get purged from its repos most probably…
Yes SMGL is still active. You can try joining one of their channels. There are still people looking for source based distros, not sure while Gentoo is the only thing that pops up for them. I used it for some time, and it’s fantastic. Sadly having to build stuff takes too much time, particularly on old, and not performance oriented HW. They had support for binaries, and actually include a binaries grimoire, so you could install binaries that used to take too much time, like Firefox for example. Still it takes too much to keep a source based distro. And if you go all the way, then when changing parts of the building toolchain, like gcc, the recommendation was to build everything so that everything would be built with the more up to date toolchain, that was cool, since SMGL has tools for it, but those fancy stuff take as well a lot of time. There I learned 1st about ccache, hahaha.
Sooo fun, :)
