I use an iPhone and my fiancé uses Android. He is not very tech savvy. He does not like to text for privacy reasons. I was going to recommend we get Signal but see others in Lemmy talking about Matrix. Is that better? If so, what app is best that works on both our phones? Thanks Lemmy friends!
Just stick to signal, matrix can be used the same way but it's a lot more complicated and requires involvement in keeping your backup key safe, otherwise you'll lose every encrypted message! Signal is similar to whatsapp. (which is obviously...a popular app...which should already explain the simplicity of setting it up.)
If it's relevant to your actual job, learning to use k8s will benefit you more. Generally i'd prefer to keep the bare metal OS as clean as possible to avoid breaking anything during upgrades and such, and keep the containers and normal running apps on separate VMs that can communicate with eachothers, k8s is mostly good if you got a lot of servers and want to manage them all at once through a single "orchestrator". But for self hosting stuff in your home it's kinda overkill. But it still can be used to manage things up. So imo go for k8s since it can be used in homeservers, it's just that it's kinda like using a nuclear bomb to kill a wasp.
I have been using Outlook for the longest time and have tried FairEmail a couple of times and simply deleted it. Tried sticking through it for about a month and I’ll be sticking with it for a good long time now :)
I have been thinking which of the two should i use. If i understand fully i can still browse lemmy instances on kbin. And i can even check out mastodon users on it....
Data on search engine market share is available, but I wonder what that looks like for Lemmy users in particular, who I would assume lean more technical than the average user, so probably use DuckDuckGo and alternates more than Google....
SearXNG, searches every search engine and regroups them in a single list, alongside the very powerful "bang" variant they use ("!!" is like "!" for ddg, and "!" is to only search with this search engine, ":en" is to choose a specific shortcode language.)

Can't wait to see this one day.
They should stop protesting and let the place rot, they're already on lemmy and officially moved there now. Best thing they could do is to lock the subreddit, point to lemmy, and keep it like that till admins feels like force-reopening an (illegal!) subreddit and appoint supermods that won't do anything with it. r/piracy is dead, long live c/piracy official lemmy community.
Great, just what we needed. Looks like he ignored the risks of facebook (or meta, i still prefer to call with the already stained name) killing the fediverse. Hopefully nothing comes out of this discussion.
So, I saved Kbin as a web app for convenience, but I just realized it doesn't respect my Android orientation lock, meaning it always rotates when I'm reading it in bed laying on my side.
Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.
They don't know what should they do at this point, they wanted to scrape the website (which is what teddit plans to do) but saw that it would be too muc work, then they said they would use graphQL and now they want to cache requests to reduce the API usage while asking for the instance admins to provide the private key. They made a poll on github on wether they should make the telemetry of sending the number of requests in a totally private way, and the majority was fine, but the devs were still skeptical on adding this feature, so yeah, libreddit doesn't have a bright future currently.
Hopefully this means companies using android will stop being lazy or cutting corners and finally give to everyone the vanilla desktop experience instead of restricting it on overpriced expensive ph ones!
They don't even plan to scrape the website, so libreddit might eventually die. To be fair i think that would be a great way for me to stop lurking at reddit and look for answers and solutions elsewhere in the end.
Can confirm that I got resubbed to r/funny after removing it last week. Reddit is definitely tampering with its users now. Can't wait for the GDPR complaint if they decide to restore deleted comments pre-protest.
KeepassXC on desktop and KeepassDX on my android device, synced using syncthing. I don't trust servers keeping all of my passwords anymore, encrypted or not
Isolate your programs, keep the critical stuff away from the public using tailscale or a VPN, hell, even an SSH tunnel could work in your case, make sure to keep different password for each software for your database. If possible virtualize each software to keep them from communicating to other softwares. This is how i manage my infrastructure (or should be, i haven't gotten yet to use tailscale for admin only websites).

VMs or containers?
I’m thinking about starting a self hosting setup, and my first thought was to install k8s (k3s probably) and containerise everything....
