Matt , to DeGoogle Yourself in Probably a stupid question, but what can I do to 'degoogle' a Google Pixel 8?

Google does not let you unlock the boot loader if the device is carrier locked. It needs to get paid off and unlocked before the boot loader can be unlocked to install custom roms.

Matt , to Asklemmy in What podcasts have you been listening to the most during the year?
  • Firewalls Don’t Stop Dragons
  • Surveillance Report
  • 2.5 Admins
  • Self-Hosted
  • Philosophize This
  • Frequent Miler
Matt , to Selfhosted in What Calendar and To Do solution do you recommend?

I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.

Matt , to Privacy in What email provider do you use for sign ups?

Create a different alias for everything using a service like:

  • SimpleLogin
  • Addy (AnonAddy)
  • Firefox Relay
  • Apple Hide My Email
Matt , to Asklemmy in What todo app are you using?

iOS Reminders app synced with Radicale server.

Matt , to Asklemmy in Where do you find audiobooks?

Libro.fm and Downpour both sell DRM-free audiobooks and offer an optional subscription credit model similar to Audible.

Matt , to Privacy in Unexpectedly, after updating KeePassXC started knocking on the Internet. Is this behavior normal?

There is a setting to automatically check for updates. I would see if that is enabled.

Matt , to Asklemmy in Anyone know of a good wiki/knowledge base software that is portable?

DokuWiki. Everything is a text file that can just be copied to a web server. It doesn't even require a database. And since all the wiki pages are plaintext markdown files, they can still be easily accessed and read even when the server is down.

Matt , to Privacy in Finally got rid of telegram, congratulations to me

Telegram still requires a phone number to sign up, but they have had usernames that can be used to contact people without needing their phone number. Signal is only now finally rolling out usernames.

Matt , to Privacy in Which privacy services would you donate to?

Plus donations to Mozilla cannot even be used for Firefox development due to the structure of the foundation and corporation.

Matt , to Free and Open Source Software in Alternative to VMWare

No, KDE does not have their own virtualization gui. Boxes can still be used on KDE as well though. If you really want nothing to do with Gnome, then virt-manager will be your best option.

Matt , (edited ) to Free and Open Source Software in Alternative to VMWare

If you are using Linux, it does not get any simpler than Gnome Boxes. If you need more options, virt-manager is still fairly easy to use.

Matt , to Privacy in Best lemmy android app?

Thunder is my favorite with Voyager a close second.

Matt , to Linux in What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?

I wish Debian had a version with more recent software that is suitable for regular use. I know many people use Testing and Sid, but Testing often has delayed security updates and it’s not unusual for Sid to break. And both get weird around the freeze for the next release. It would be great if there was a version like Tumbleweed that was constantly rolling and received automated testing to prevent many of the problems Unstable experiences.

I currently use Tumbleweed on my computers and Debian on my servers, but I would love to use Debian on everything.

Matt , to Linux in GNOME Network Displays Adds Support For Chromecast & Miracast MICE Protocols

Roku supports Miracast, so it should work.
