Magic Earth isnt FOSS though, which was specifically requested by OP

It would be easy. Just install Waydroid and install an android app on the Android system. Look at Waydroid official install guide and maybe watch a video.

It shouldn’t be too taxing on the Pi 4 or 5, Waydroid runs an LXC container with x86_64 LineageOS. It works well, but requires Wayland.

Lol

It does not use adblock plus lists directly. The lists are hosted by Cromite. uBlock Origin is not available for any android chromium browser (other than kiwi I guess). The adblocker works well from my tests. I recommend adding filterlists from https://divested.dev/pages/dnsbl

Use Cromite. Fully open source, adblocking, and security hardened. See this browser table for conparisons: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

Privacy.com allows you to create virtual cards, allowing you to set up rules for how money can be used through them. It also masks the receipt details that your bank would normal get access to so they can’t sell that data about what you purchased.

Notesnook has a desktop app. Does it not work with self hosted implementation?

I haven’t had great success, it causes more problems than it is worth if you aren’t willing and knowledgeable to troubleshoot any finicky behavior. The nvidia drivers just end up causing a headache. I would never recommend anyone buy an nvidia GPU if they dont have a specific requirement like run local AI/LLMs using CUDA or raytracing (I guess). AMD can also run local LLMs using ROCm, just not supported for 5000 series or lower.

The only Linux distro I (and my friends) have had any success with nvidia GPUs is Bazzite/Aurora. Bazzite is gaming focused and has special nvidia OS images.

AMD is easier to use with Linux. Get a rx6700xt or greater.

Some/most places outside the USA heavily rely on WhatsApp for communication. This is like saying “you dont need to be able to talk with your friends, family, or employer”

Basically, Flatpak stops Firefox from using its normal security measures for isolation. Librewolf (a fork of Firefox) has the same problems resulting from Flatpak.

Also, what do you mean the distro repo will update never? You just type the update command (eg. sudo dnf update -y) and software gets updated. If you dont like manually typing command, just set it up to auto run at boot.

Flatpak doesnt let the browser use its normal sandboxing for process isolation using user namespaces. Read more here or search on the web for “flatpak weaken browser security”: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/security-problems-with-flatpak-browsers-firefox-chromium-bubblejail-seccomp-user-namespaces/121109/5

Flatpak weakens the security/isolation of Librewolf (and any browser). Since you are in Linux, you might as well use the distro repo, which will update whenever you update.

Hmm, you have typed words that I do not vibe with.

Cus there isnt a reason to change if you are already super familiar with pfSense. They basically do the same stuff.

What extensions do you use? What browser do you use? The only thing a VPN helps with is hiding your IP. If you dont use a good privacy browser like Mullvad/Librewolf or Cromite, you are still easily trackable regardless of VPN.

The only extension I recommend for privacy and security is uBlock Origin. There are some other good extensions but none that are as significant. More extensions can actually increase your trackability, aka browser fingerprinting.

If you use the adblocker uBlock Origin, enable these filter lists which strips URL tracking parameters.

Instructions:

⭐ Enable AdGuard URL Tracking Protection
⭐ Import Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool
- Check Import under Filter Lists > Custom
- Paste in this URL -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt
- Click Apply Changes

In that case OPNsense does the exact same thing but with a more intuative GUI. It originally was a fork of pfSense.
