    @DoctorG, we'll see, anyway until now I was capable to avoid ads in YT also without uBO. Google don't sleep, but there are also a lot of devs out there which released things to show it the middle finger. Nobody like ads, except Google [image: O5ryPY.png]

    @sintnicolaasacademie said in Chromium or Gecko.Which one is better ?: Another one that I have installed is LibreWolf. It is essentially FF with all the settings preset for maximum privacy. It also has an Add-on that will check for updates upon launch of the browser I have that installed too as a fallback. On Windows I have the Windows Updater that periodically runs via Task Scheduler and updates LibreWolf silently in the background.

    @sgunhouse Then I've mixed things. Good detail about the desk space. Regarding the right hand limitation, I was neither aware. Would be something to try.

    @mib2berlin Thank you for that. I tried that before and the 'import' button was greyed out. Today however, it worked. Thanks again.

    Given the times we live in when everyone owns a mobile phone, I think apps like these also might be helpful for newcomers while sitting in a bus or something https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inspiredandroid.linuxcommandbibliotheca

    @Catweazle said in EU alternative to US digital products: yes, but Vivaldi isn't recommended and described with bad security and privacy, destroyed direct in the article of the author, where Vivaldi is direct compared with Chrome, Edge and Opera But Brave is also based on a Chromium rendering engine, so a fork, and, the security of Brave is a fake one, because of his developer? That’s at least what I read about this browser on the internet. Honestly, I've only had the best experiences with Vivaldi and I've never had any security problems, while using the in-build tracker and ad-blockers. Security is also by oneself and a company, in this case Vivaldi, which I trust more than a totally unknown browser I have no interest in, with a spare knowledge of his developer or developers. What the good guy is writing is a false statement and does not correspond to my experiences. And sorry for posting this bad link. I saw it too late that advertising was being done here for a browser I never would recommend.

    @VivaLa77 Thank you for the recommendation. I'll look into the Amazfit Active 2, sounds promising for the owner's needs.

    @everardoVV, maybe, but it's not possible to switch a browser engine, because it would mean having to develop the browser from scratch, requiring years of work to get back to the level reached.

    @scfast001 said in some personal recommendations for email services: I’m more supportive of open-source, privacy-focused email systems. Here are some personal recommendations for email services you can sign up for: 6. Gandi.net If you have a domain with Gandi, their included email service is really good. If you think it’s good, give me a thumbs up! I was a long time Gandi customer, but suddenly they changed the pricing radically. The email service is no longer included in the domain registration fee. Also the domain renewal fees have skyrocketed. For example, a .com domain today costs 11 eur to register and 31.98 eur to renew.

    @LonM, Andi isn't in this test, despite it's one of the most trustworth, not biased by big companies.

    Andi's Writeup about the question, adding all sources for further research The debate over solar farms on British farmland has intensified since Labour's Ed Miliband became Energy Security Secretary in 2024, approving several controversial large-scale projects[^1][^2]. Key developments: The government aims to triple UK solar capacity by 2030, from 16.6 gigawatts to 45-47 gigawatts[^3] Currently solar farms occupy 0.1% of UK land, projected to reach 0.3-0.6% under government plans[^3] Major approved projects include the 2,500-acre Sunnica solar farm on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border[^4] The core tension is between: Supporters argue: Solar is now the cheapest form of renewable energy[^5] Farmers can still graze sheep under panels while earning stable income[^6] Even ambitious solar expansion would use less than 1% of agricultural land[^7] Critics argue: Prime farmland should be preserved for food security[^8] Local communities lose rural character and views[^9] Large projects bypass local planning control[^10] Recent policy changes: Labour government consulting on removing protections for high-grade farmland from planning guidance[^11] Local councils advised to reject solar farms on prime agricultural land if they threaten food security[^12] Government promoting "agrivoltaics" - combining solar with continued farming[^13] [^1]: BBC - Solar farms: What next for Norfolk? [^2]: Farmers Weekly - Analysis: The pros and cons of solar farm development [^3]: BBC - Why more mega solar farms are coming to the countryside [^4]: GB News - More than a tenth of farmland to become solar farms [^5]: National Grid - Solar power: your questions answered [^6]: Carbon Brief - Factcheck: Is solar power a 'threat' to UK farmland? [^7]: BBC - English farmland could be cut by 9% to hit green targets [^8]: BBC - Solar or food production? Somerset farmers locked into debate [^9]: BBC - Plans for 3,700 acres of solar panels on farmland [^10]: UKPower - The challenges facing new solar farms in the UK [^11]: Farming.co.uk - Huge increase in planning applications for solar schemes on farmland [^12]: Solar Power Portal - Planning submitted for 49.9MW Nuneham Solar Farm [^13]: The Eco Experts - The 15 Largest Solar Farms in the World 2022

    I saw on another platform the CEO's post, but I failed to see how it was a problem. The original tweet/post seemed pro-Bernie Sanders (and anti, what he called "corporate democrats") to me. Did you see that post? People seem all-to-quick to put words in the mouth of anyone saying anything remotely kind toward the Trump administration.

    I like FileLu, OneDrive, and Google Cloud, InfiniCloud, Amaryllo, and a few more. I should also mention https://syncthing.net/ ( https://github.com/syncthing/ ) It is a super simple way to sync your backup between computers (I do this with family members).
