Install Guix
Tailscale is just more reliable and mature in my experience
What sort of issues have you run into? I’m currently on Tailscale, but was considering Netbird because it’s open source. (Also, I hate that Tailscale requires me to create an account with Big Tech to login.)
They seem pretty close in terms of features, at least in the simple cases.
Been daily driving Arch on my laptops for the last 10 years. It’s been great. Getting the latest software has been especially handy for laptops, where the kernel sometimes needs time to catch up to the latest hardware.
I ran Guix for a few months when I had some extra time and I liked it, but it was very different and not all software I needed ran on it (or ran well). I ended up going back to Arch, but I brought Guix with me, as a package manager.
I also ended up trying Fedora for the first time (ok, I was unemployed) recently and was pleasantly surprised. Turns out Fedora is pretty close to how I configure Arch. And it’s got some extra polish that was neat. I ended up installing Fedora Silverblue for my parents 6-8 months ago and it’s been working out great for them.
Anyway, Arch has been my reliable companion for the last 10 years.
Yeah, not handled well. They’re doing slimy corpo bullshit.
On the other hand, I like that they’re open source and don’t block stuff like vaultwarden.
I hope they can take the extra money and make the product better. Cuz I definitely don’t love Bitwarden, but it’s a better alternative than 1Password.
I thought the Iranians specifically chose Legos because the US bombed a girl’s primary school. Seemed like a fitting way to fight back.
Yes, it should be Nucleus. Them calling it PiedPiper is a propaganda campaign to try to earn good will from people. Fuck Google locking down Android.

OpenStreet maps is primarily a data source. I guess you could use the website: https://www.openstreetmap.org/
But they don’t have mobile apps.
Comaps, OSM And, and other apps use OpenStreet maps as their data source, sometimes as their only data source. So if the data isn’t in OpenStreet maps, it’s not gonna be in Comaps. Comaps is basically a frontend for OpenStreet map data.
I love Comaps. I have it installed on my Android phone. I contribute to OpenStreet maps when I can.
But, I don’t think Comaps is a realistic replacement for Apple or Google maps.
One: OpenStreet maps is missing a toooon of locations, businesses and residential addresses. Two: having the enter the address in a non-standard way (for the US) City, Street, Building Number, makes finding things even harder. That’s gonna instantly turn away 99% of people.
I still begrudgingly have Google maps installed on my phone… :(
I also have HERE Maps installed on my phone. It’s way more usable than Comaps and it’s not Google. But, it’s not FOSS and still owned by a big corporation. But at least it’s not (entirely) owned by the US (Magic Earth is). For me, I think HERE maps is a decent step away from Google.
I’ll still keep contributing to OpenStreet maps, hoping one day I can switch to Comaps.
I’m kinda coming around to using Fedora. I use Arch, btw, but Fedora is pretty close to how I configure my Arch system anyway. Plus, Fedora has a little extra polish with the splash screens that I don’t bother with in my Arch setup.
Maaaaybe…
Totally unbiased comparison between alternatives
Does it suck: 4get: no (debunked by snopes)
😆
A satirical website dubbed Malus (malice) has been making its rounds and fooling users after claiming it’s deploying AI tools to recreate open source projects from scratch with corporate-friendly licensing (my personal favorite is Emergency AGPL Removal in the footer links)
Hahaha. That’s funny. Oh, guys.
I wish there was a FOSS or more open option, but damn I’m glad I’m using Kagi.
Yes, I’ve tried SearXNG. No, I don’t think it’s a viable alternative. (yet?)
Oh, shit! I didn’t realize Silvio Rodríguez was alive! And he’s got a blog!? https://segundacita.blogspot.com/
Dropping X11 seems huge.
Just recently signed up for Qobuz. I’m planning on purchasing albums as I go along so at least I’m left with something the day I decide to quit.
This isn’t exclusive to Open Source projects. This happens all the time with proprietary apps as well: https://killedbygoogle.com/
Even things like TV shows can get killed after 1 season.
I use AirVPN, which gives you a random static port for port forwarding.
What’s the point of YouTube premium again? uBlock Origin works on laptops, tablets, and phones. Smart Tube works on TVs.
Is there some live sports thing that it’s bundled with or something?
