Great to hear you found my comment helpful.
Just make sure you make backups regularly. Especially with used drives, I wouldn’t count on them surviving the stress of a rebuild. If a second drive fails in a RAID10, all data might be gone.
Edit: I’d be thankful if you could report back how the test goes. I need a drive for a backup ;) and I’m considering buying from eBay too.
I will test them upon receiving and see how it goes from there:)
I don’t know where exactly you live, but if your in the EU customs/taxes + shipping will make the deal worse, but better than expected.
E.g. for Germany, this drive would cost 382€ with UPS Saver Duties & Taxes included, instead of 273€ for the drive itself.
I’ve found the same drive with a local commercial eBay seller for 420€, including taxes and shipping.
A new 24TB drive would cost 485€.
Edit: IMO a better deal would be 22TB drives, which have the same price per TB but are new. But then again, their used/recertified price is also ~10% lower than new.
The Fennec F-Droid build isn’t maintained by Mozilla, but by someone else. They link to Mozilla for donations and source code, but the issue tracker for Fennec on F-Droid links to their own repo.
K-9 Mail on F-Droid is maintained by the K9-team, which works for MZLA/Thunderbird. Thus I’d guess it shouldn’t take to much work adding Thunderbird to F-Droid.
from the page it looks like they’re working on getting the beta in fdroid though, so here’s hoping.

K9-Mail has been and continues to be on F-Droid, while it’s basically the same as Thunderbird Android, except for branding.
Yes. Looking through K9’s blog, “recently” is more than two years.
K9 didn’t have a stable release for 3 years, until a previous contributor raised enough money to sponsor his work for a year or so. (Which I was happy to donate to, because K9 was starting to get really outdated UI-wise).
After that money ran out, they started working for MZLA Corp/Thunderbird more than two years ago.
Why LVM + BTRFS instead of only using btrfs? Unless you need RAID 5/6, which doesn’t work well on btrfs.
Blocking incoming traffic and accepting outgoing traffic is usually the default for distributions anyway.
I’m not the creator of the survey, but I’ve just send them the link to this discussion on Mastodon, so they can take the feedback into account.
There’s an issue with posts about which games work and which don’t.
Thanks for the correction. It’s a shame that sysadmins balcklist middle nodes too, since they won’t see any TOR traffic originating from your IP address anyway.
Make sure to not refresh the page, else it seems like all progress is lost.
I found out simultaneously that I enabled pull down to refresh the page in Firefox Android.
Edit: The survey wasn’t created by me, I just shared it.
There’s different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don’t face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.
I disagree with the notion that it’s better for the cheaters to have an easier time (and less chance of being detected), but you’re right, BattleEye doesn’t solve the cheating problem for GTA.
Rockstar should fix their netcode and run game server on dedicated server, instead of their customers PC’s. I’d think decting aimbot isn’t the biggest issue, while cheaters are able to break entire lobbies…
IMO no game should require client side anti cheat except for shooters, where looking through walls and aimbot is actually difficult to detect server side. At least for those is it possible to find valid arguments (except for being lazy).
I didn’t know it was chosen not even 10 years ago, as it felt like it could’ve been around for longer.
Cheat makers are likely behind this, asthey have monetary incentives to do so. If its Linux users I’d feel bad because stopping others from playing just because they can’t, is extremely bad behaviour.
I like the Moz://a branding, altough most people wouldn’t get it, so it makes sense to switch to correct spelling.
Whether the T-Rex is the coreect choice, is another question. I do like that it feels more creative than the basic, reduced logos of today.
Edit: I do like the new Logo. It looks good and it does match its “activist spirit”. Mozilla the corporation is different from the foundation, and I do believe, that Mozilla is closer to its roots than all other browser vendors - including the reskins of Chromium.
Blender and DaVinci Resolve work better on Nvidia. AMD might work, but it will be a hassle and you’ll likely need the proprietary AMD drivers anyway.
With Nvidia supporting Wayland and the open-source NVK continuing to get better, you could even switch to open source drivers for gaming at some point, if you prefer.
Edit: I’ve had enough issues with AMD GPU’s clocking down while gaming, leading to micro stuttering. So don’t buy AMD just because everyone tells you they work flawlessly.
For CPU and mainboard, everything works well — just don’t buy a random unknown SSD from Amazon, that just asks for data loss and random issues.
That’s only true for new phones. Once they get older, the difference in performance is noticeable.
Replacing the battery after a few years is possible, upgrading the SoC is not.
Agreed. That’s even better.
My banking apps lock screens consistently aren’t recognized by Bitwarden Android.
Some websites/apps only show the email field at first, then add the password field afterwards. This also sometimes makes it not being detected as a login form.
Sometimes a password field is detected only on the first filling in (which is annoying when choosing the wrong entry).
On desktop it’s great, but I really don’t know why some apps have to do custom login screens.
