serious question: how does opera (the company) make money?

we don't need another mail app. they should've just supported FairEmail. it's great and works flawlessly. developed by one guy who does not get enough in return. if you can, support him by buying the premium version and yourself by switching to the best android mail client. https://email.faircode.eu/

tbf it seems to be a common issue with search engines atm. brave also has the stupid ai response topmost, and startpage without adblock pushes in so many sponsored results that you need to scroll to get to anything else

this whole thing is a shitshow. but the dresscode is just bullshit. why shouldn't male read people be allowed to wear hairstyles longer than to the neck?

if it is of any help, i have been using a OP6 running /e/os for over a year now, as a daily driver. central europe, have not ran into any issues banking wise, other than one 2fa app complaining every time it is launched (but still functioning fine) edit: sadly the battery life is now starting to decay quickly, and i also had an accident that left both front and back glass shattered, so i may soon upgrade.

that's genius. i have never even considered that you could use a (sub)domain with a local ip like that to get a certificate from a trusted ca. i ma not sure i understand the neccessity for api access to your dns service. is the txt record for LE different every time you have to pass a challenge? otherwise i imagine you could just set and forget the record.

thank you for the explanation, well appreciated!

could you expand a bit on your edit? so bitwarden extensions need a valid ssl certificate for the domain where the server is hosted? how do you get that for (i assume) a local domain? thank you for your time!

thank you! so it is basically looking at identifiable patterns in the packet flow and matching them to protocols. i also found this paper about traffic identification interesting.

i still think this kind of shotgun approach is not ideal, and the extension seems more like a service to me than a way to help the ia. so "help contribute" is not the wording i would chose. but i very well might be missing the point. i do love the internet archive and their fight for information freedom, don't get me wrong. this was more of a nitpick.

[–] binom 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

does this actually help the internet archive in any way? as in are your local ressources used or ad revenue generated? i fail to see how telling them to archive everything you visit is of any help to them. other than you being basically a crawler, i guess

they sunsetted the sms functionality in their app "to focus on the signal protocol and make it less confusing for people" if i remember correctly. not a big deal to me, the few sms i send i can use a different app for

 

I am im the market for a hardware key for MFA. I want to put it on my keyring and put it in my pocket so I always have it with me. I guess it should be quite sturdy for that (no easily broken off connectors, ...) I mainly want to use it as additional factor for my Bitwarden vault. Do you have any recommendations, experiences, stories? Yubikey seems to be by far the brand most recommended. Solo is nice bc open source hard/firmware, but I care more about reliability and usability than openness I think.

Thank you for your insights!
