Creating a closed network on the Internet where any commercialization and domination are prohibited might help?

Something like Tor/freenet/I2P, but less shady (I know it’s not meant to be like this), open and accessible to anyone.

Edit: I remembered about gemini protocol, where you get

lightweight online space where documents are just documents, in the interests of every reader's privacy, attention and bandwidth

Perfect for the new better internet, huh?

Hello @zenbrowser why I cant have the same protection using zen versus ? in c/librewolf@lemmy.ml

Choose one by what you prioritize. If you want a modern fancy browser but don’t want to use arc, use zen. Otherwise use Librewolf.

You mean Zen’s tracking blocker is not enough? I guess that’s because Librewolf is focusing on privacy while Zen’s for normies

Edit: I ended up ordering one from Sparks. I’m going to review it here. Here’s the original question.

Original QuestionI’m going to travel to Indonesia in 2 days and finding the appropriate sim card to use. I browsed the Internet and found buying 3hk SIM from mobimatter is the cheapest option. Is the SIM safe to use? Anyone else ever got a SIM from mobimatter?

My eSIM specs

Manufacturer: Sparks

Country: Indonesia

Capacity: 12GB

Available for: 30days

For how to activate the eSIM, please refer to the official documentation. Beware that you need to activate data roaming for Internet connection (it won’t cost you additional fees so don’t worry).

Review

My eSIM was connected to TSEL network and it showed LTE on the right top of my phone.

Result of speed test on internetspeed.my

Download (avg): 1.18 Mbps

Download (max): 2.45 Mbps

Upload (avg): 3.09 Mbps

Upload (max): 7.98 Mbps

Not fast, but not very slow.

It worked fine everywhere on Surabaya city. I’ve been in here for 2 weeks and I’ve already consumed 6.45GB (which is 0.43GB/day). Fortunately, I’m going to go back to my country in 4 days so it’s enough for me, and unless you watch videos outside, 12GB should be fine for everyone.

Tips

You can put mobimatter’s widget on your home screen to check the remaining data capacity.

Some Wifi in Indonesia restricts access to duckduckgo.com, so it’s recommended to use VPNs from trustable providers.

Any good Debian-based OS for a laptop? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm planning to put Debian-based operating system onto my Surface Laptop Gen 1, following the guide (linux-surface). Any good Debian-based Linux recommendations? For now I'm considering AntiX (lightweight debian) and normal Debian.

P.S. I’ve installed pure Debian, as everyone suggests. Thanks for advice!

RSS reader that can sync across Windows and iOS? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I’ve been using NetNewsWire before I moved to Windows. It’s perfect as long as you’re in the Apple ecosystem.

Now that I moved to Windows (I was forced to), I can’t use iCloud to sync rss feeds and favorite articles. I’ve tried feedly but it sucks. I ended up using Outlook, but it doesn’t sync with its iPhone app. Is there any free way to do this, hopefully using opensource software? Syncthing doesn’t work on iOS, by the way.
