There really isn't one that's a true alternative to WP.

There are plenty of nice static site generators, but those are significantly harder to use and not just drag and drop, they also don't have the huge plugin marketplace that WP does.

Everyone loves to complain about WP (rightfully so in some cases, it has its own problems), but will suggest alternatives that are nothing like it.

It's so much worse than WP though.

It's crazy to me that all these websites advertise pirated/stolen Microsoft keys and aren't getting in trouble for it.

By default it should be configured to allow all outgoing, and block all incoming. That's perfectly fine for a desktop/laptop and you don't need to mess with it.

You can't really do that much outgoing filtering with a firewall that will be useful, because basically everything operates on port 80/443, and often connects to the same CDNs or datacenter IPs for multiple services.

Instead DNS blocking is a much more effective way to handle it, plus uBlock Origin in your browser.

Immich has been great, I've been running it for something like 1.5 years now I think.

I love that they clearly say that. IMO they should keep that notice around even later on.

Far too many people spin up some solution for photos or files, either selfhosted or some paid service, and use it as their only storage. Then they're surprised when data loss happens.

Doesn't the play store have their "Play Protect" thing they're always shoving in my face? Why didn't that pick this up before 11 million people installed the app?

Really every AV software is spyware for whatever country it operates in. Just depends on who you'd rather have your data.

The amount of articles and discussion assuming these devices were hacked is insane.

They weren't hacked, they were physically opened up and had explosives placed inside.

Firefox lets you make shortcuts that appear on your new tab (home) page in the browser, that might be a good option since they'll open in the browser and not as a PWA.

It would, but it would be a very small difference. Maybe 2-3% at most.

Oh that's a smart way of doing it!
