Please at least put Librewolf and Mullvad in there. If you're feeling generous, even TOR browser.

Has Waterfox resolved their security issues?

It is mentioned in the deep dive :) https://lemmy.world/post/27983334

Waterfox was bought out by an advertising company, but they became independent again.

So, any plans to include LibreWolf and TOR browser

Thanks, I realized after the fact that the shortlinks point to the Reddit deep-dive guides.

So here are the Lemmy equivalent links:

I also have EU and Canada-specific editions, but don't want to spam.

I dumped Proton and moved to selfhosted email using mailcow. Moved my calendars and contacts over to Nextcloud since I already had it run for files.

Some will say self hosting email is not worth the trouble. I disagree. Once you have the DNS records all setup correctly its just a matter of keeping the software up to date. With mailcow that's usually a monthly update using the included update script. Also setup something like crowdsec to watch your logs and block the script kiddies. Also don't even try sending email from your server itself, save yourself the headache and use a relay service. I use MXroute.

Worth adding Migadu as mail service, based out of Switzerland, is very affordable and privacy focused!

Why is Twitter the only thing listed under social media?

[โ€“] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I just wish they didnโ€™t choose LW.

[โ€“] Blaze@feddit.nl 3 points 5 days ago

It's okay. Way better than silencing Lemmy mentions like the /r/buyfromEU mods

Can somebody explain why there is dates on this chart? Is that supposed to help in some way?

[โ€“] Blaze@feddit.nl 3 points 6 days ago

It was part of a weekly campaign from OP on several topics

What does "profit shares" means in this context?
