This was always a known risk of having alternative app stores. Think of it from the dev’s point of view, he’s also one of the founders of AltStore. Of course an exclusive app is one of the best ways to get people onboard. Just wait for the Epic, Meta, Amazon… stores next. At least AltStore has an open-source ethos behind it.

Very good explanation of why you should be skeptical online. I just wanted to chime in as someone who does eat dragon fruit regularly, that they are absolutely delicious when ripe. Although the red ones do stain quite bad.
I can confirm the extensions work well together.
It seems it may be because Orion on iOS has web extensions support. Which I think safari also does (partially) but uses a different framework for its on extensions. Check out Kagi’s page on Orion and web extensions.
For iOS safari, I can’t recommend vinegar enough. It replaces the YouTube player with the default html 5 player. So you get all the built in iOS features and ad blocking. There’s also the sponsor block app which works in conjunction with vinegar.
For blocking YouTube ads, I cannot recommend Vinegar more. It’s a safari extension that replaces the default YouTube player with a standard HTML5 video tag. Which means all the functionality of iOS videos (PiP, backgrounding, scrubbing) and no ads.
Have a look at the communities in the instance infosec.pub.
I’d give it a try. I read there were federation issues between 0.18 instances and those <0.18. Might be linked to that.
I've been running the 0.18 docker build since it was released. Just took a look and it's CPU usage has remained <3% on load since the release. Admittedly my instance has only a handful of users, but it might be worth upgrading to 0.18?
Coming from Malaysia, I have quite the non-standard order of names with my surname being the in the center. It gets more complicated because most Malaysians don’t have a surname, so none of our official documents have a Surname / Firstname field, just a Name field.
Flight tickets always look bizarre because the order is off, and bits of the last part of my name is taken off. Surprisingly this has never been a problem with the airlines in Europe / NA / Asia. The only EU country to give me a grilling about the name was at the Italian border.
As I was holding a visa in the U.K. since 2010s, the home office’s compromise with me was to list my whole name as my last name. Thereby making documents in the U.K. match my passport name. Although since about 2 years ago, they’ve finally relented and recognised my last name as such.
Another odd side effect of this is that I have 2 credit scores, depending on the name order.
