That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories

Droidify has this

I’ve gotten that a few times but Kagi works with most mullvad endpoints for me.

More and more sites seem to be blocking mullvad endpoints though. It’s frustrating.

I would recommend gitlab pages over github pages. Github is owned by Microsoft so who knows how private it is anymore.

If only we could convince US banks not to use MFA only via SMS

Seconded. I switched from namecheap when they raised the price of my domain. I never had a problem with name cheap but porkbin is cheaper.

Indiegogo also tries to sneak a crazy high tip to the platform when you back a project now.

I’ve been using pixey.org for a year or so. No complaints

I use posteo for email and use davx5 to sync contacts and calendars to their carddav and caldav servers.

I haven’t done anything like this, but I wouldn’t try to directly send to anything over the internet, if you have Amy issues will connection speed it will create a large backup. Your fastest and lightest would be to transfer via USB to a phone and then have the phone upload, by I think this requires special apps that may not be very fast.

Wireless usually has too big of a delay. Capture one and Cascable can supposedly do wired to iOS devices, but I haven’t tried it. Bringing a computer will probably be the best option unfortunately. You go get a gpd mini laptop for portability.

There’s actually a fix for the 17 inch version of my laptop in the main kernel, but it explicitly mentions the full model number so doesn’t apply to my 13 inch version. I spent a long time trying and failing to figure out how to build a kernal with a patch for my model.

I switched to Linux on a laptop of mine because an update to windows caused it to not boot.

Now I get to deal with my keyboard backlight not working, sometimes the keyboard freezing on resume, my Bluetooth not connecting on the first try, and my wifi sometimes not working, but it boots fine every time.

Drysuit. Wetsuits keep you warm, not dry.

There’s a FOSS app for anyone who wants this functionality without Google

Maybe coffee is very expensive where OP lives

The last Pixel to have a headphone jack was the 5A released in 2021. The 6, 6A, 7, 7A, and 8 do not have headphone jacks.

Libretube works sometimes, but I often have to press load several times.
