Meanwhile I found rethink dns. It’s a DNS based blocking that also use the local VPN similar to tracker control, however you can add any wireguard VPN to use inside rethink dns. This allows one to use any VPN provider that supports wireguard.

The UI is not as good as tracker control for what you want, but it’s possible to show logs of blocked request for each app.

Many VPNs provide blocking of trackers but you won’t be able to see the kinda statistics tracker control gives you.

Alternatively you could self-host something like pi-hole which will give you overall statistics about what is being blocked on a device level, but you still wouldn’t get information on a per app basis

Interesting, that is directly illegal afaik in many EU countries, where the rule is you must keep as far right as possible at all times. I.e use only left lanes when overtaking.

Interesting. Nextcloud does feel pretty sluggish and probably in need of a major overhaul of the backend. Still, it works quite well .

Does it bring any advantage over using GDB/LLDB? Seems a little unnecessary if it’s just to change variables.

Once per week for me. Works really great on openSUSE MicroOS. Had to roll back maybe a couple of times the last few years.

That said, I run basically everything in containers so the OS installed things are lean.

Definintly make sure you vote for people that don’t support chat control in the EU elections but also make sure to do the same in national elections!

Currently the vote has not reached the EU parliament. The discussion is ongoing between the countries permanent representations / governments rather than elected MEPs as far as I understand.

What’s the source for this programme scoring individuals ? Per the EU project description, the target is specifically communities at large rather than individuals.

Been following them for years. They do great work, but often seem a little overly optimistic in their messaging. What they are doing is a hard challenge and they seem to be slowly getting better and better. I wonder if they also are lacking a bit in funding to be able to efficiently move forward.

The DPC is about to hire a former meta lobbyist to lead their organisation. They can obviously not be trusted to uphold EUs privacy laws.

Yep, plus a bunch of AI generated music (or music they bought from producers for cheap onetime fees) that Spotify throws in there so they don’t have to pay actual artists.

Bias lightning (proper white light) is actually helpful with led displays. It increases perceived contrast (i also think it helps with blooming a bit). Not needed for OLEDs though and coloured lights is more of a gimmick.

Red Hat probably contributes to Open Source and Linux more than any other company around. Are they perfect? Of course not, and it’s fair and good to discuss and criticise them when warranted. But overall they seem to contribute positively much more than negatively.

How are they “doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem.” exactly ?

Fair, I was not aware of that exception. It does seem to cover this case, assuming Google is actually not sending any data outside of the phone, use it for further training etc.

The person owning the phone where the processing takes place, is the processor of the data in this case. That still requires consent from the data subject per gdpr.

In many places call recording (or indeed processing of personal information which is highly likely to be present in phone calls) requires consent to be legal. I highly doubt this kind of processing is legal in the EU without both parties consenting.

S10e is great. It’s what I’ve been using as well, but it doesn’t get security updates anymore. Been using a custom rom which does get Android security updates, but there was a pretty serious SoC level security vulnerability which won’t get fixed for the S10e.

I’ll get a Pixel 8a instead. No headphone jack, slightly larger, only 1 physical sim. But can run GrapheneOS and have a long promised update period.

This is from 2023, but this might still be a good read on how to get to a very low watt idle build, there’s a few more post on other older builds on that blog as well: https://mattgadient.com/7-watts-idle-on-intel-12th-13th-gen-the-foundation-for-building-a-low-power-server-nas/

None basically. There’s a Sony phone has LineageOS (including +microg variant) support, but it’s not ideal either.
