You can't have it both ways. It's hard enough to get people to switch to signal, or least also use it next to other messengers. Now imagine they'd have to connect to multiple servers to talk to multiple people. Possibly everyone connection details. Even if that's done in the background, you have to somehow get the connection registered once, discovered if you will.

Anything and everything you send through their server is end-to-end encrypted. Some people hate on the phone number being required to create an account, but it's also the reason it works at all: anyone in your contacts who also has signal you can talk to. Phone numbers are an international standard. If course this also has downsides...

Finally what you're asking for exists. NextCloud has "talk". Which is essentially a messenger app, it's built in. Go use it. I have a NextCloud instance and I don't use it either. What's the point of having an app I can only use to talk with people so close to me that they're in my NextCloud with an account already?

If you're using a keepass database, Keepass2Android can natively sync with many cloud options including self hosted and generic ones, even without specific "companion" apps. That's what I use. In my case, it's backed by my NextCloud, but it used to be Google drive before.

Just also sync the file on your PC, merging changes from different clients is part of the keepass database format and "just works".

Also VaultWarden works great if your can self host it, but I prefer keepass for a variety of features and integrations.

Yeah, they do need to clean up the installer a bit. It's also not quite turnkey for a Windows dual-boot.

Mind letting us know why or how? When I installed it almost a year ago on my desktop, I did install it as a dual boot option with no issues. Of course this doesn't mean there aren't issues I just didn't run into. I'm also not new to Linux and didn't pick a fully default install, if that makes a difference. So I could've probably fixed it if it did break, but it never gave me any issues.

The only thing that I dislike, and that could probably cause issues, is that for my installation the mount point for the efi/boot partition isn't specified in fstab using a uuid, but using the device name (which isn't fixed and can change with hardware changes). That is a very weird (and unnecessary) decision IMHO.

Forgejo was soft forked from Gitea after they went commercial and changed the license (I think). If there aren't any so far, expect pay walled features eventually.

Forgejo turned into a hard fork after communication issues between the teams. I haven't looked too deeply into it (as I don't really care about the fact that it's a hard fork now). This means while it used to be a drop-in replacement allowing you to go back and forth between the two, it's now an active conversion, I think.

I'm reasonably sure there's an option in librewolf that will hide your timezone and just report it as +0, independent from what you actually use is the os.

It has a lot of fingerprint hardening either enabled by default or available as an option.

All normal PCs run CachyOS, includes gaming PCs, laptops and media PCs. All servers run some form of Debian (includes Proxmox) or a dedicated distro for their use (TRUE WAS, technically also Debian based).

Maybe look onto OwnCloud. That's the project NextCloud was forked from many years ago. It's very much still around and had a very different philosophy, a much more minimalistic approach with focus on stability. That's actually the reason the people behind NextCloud had to fork it, cause all their additional features (bloat) wasn't accepted upstream.

If you want to lessen the barrier of entry to Arch, maybe try CachyOS. It's Arch based and very close to normal Arch, but has some conveniences. Might be worth a look. It's also got it's own CPU specific repositories (same content as Arch), giving even more performance.

Appreciate the heads up. I'm reasonably sure I've already uninstalled it anyway, but I'll check tomorrow to make sure.

You can secure boot most distros these days. It's not new either. Depends on who it what their anchor is, and if it's more limited than just secure boot being active.

Why does Canadian tire even have 38 million accounts? That number seems really wild to me...

Compressing it with handbrake will probably not look worse. MPEG2 used in DVD is notoriously inefficient by today's standards. Depending on the codec selected, it'll be a fraction of the size with no visible differences.

Unless you mean to keep the DVD structure and playability in DVD players (including menus and everything), but I don't think handbrake can do that.
