Heard about this on Linux Unplugged a few weeks back. Haven’t had a chance to test it out yet, but it looks pretty cool.

This one interested me too. Zero coffee. Wtf?!

This easy banoffee pie combines a crunchy graham cracker crust, sweet dulce de leche, thick slices of fresh banana, and billowy whipped cream.

I used it when it first came out. Fully FOSS. Great app. 6mo in, enshitification. Try out CCLauncher. It’s a fork of the same project but clean and fully FOSS. https://f-droid.org/packages/app.cclauncher/

I hear ya. I have friends in Canada. Sam’s answer is i2p. It’s not nearly as convenient but supposedly more private and more secure. There are a few live bootable i2p distro like Dimensional Rift and KabaOS. There was a more popular one that had some time on it called Prestium but it vanished. Enjoy your journey.

Have you ever heard of Sam Bent (aka DoingFedTime)? He’s been saying that the Tor project is shady AF forever. I really don’t want to believe him. I use Tails regularly. But he’s very intelligent and his arguments are excellent. Go down the rabbit hole. 😊 https://m.youtube.com/@Sam_Bent https://rumble.com/user/DoingFedTime/about

Dang. Does that mean I need to finish it all out?? 😂

I was very happy to stumble upon this post. I’ve been struggling through The Dark Forest for what feels like forever. I’m usually a pretty voracious reader, but this series is like quicksand to me. It’s really really boring. I just keep hoping it will get interesting. It threatens to…and then starts sucking again. I never DNF books, but I’m so SO tempted here. Glad there are others out there!

Sambal is chili paste. A lot of the time, depending on the cuisine, it has other things in it. Sometimes just garlic. Sometimes it’s shrimp paste. I’ve yet to have one that wasn’t delicious! I’ve never seen this dish before. Looks…interesting. :)

Yes!! Another fan. I loved it. Dark, tough guy nonsense and humor. Such a fun series!

I’ve enjoyed everything he’s written. Good suggestion. In a similar, rule-breaking suggestion, Jeff Somers Avery Cates series is also very enjoyable. It also was first published in 2007. T’was a good year. 😏

From quick research, it certainly seems to be the preferred alternative. It’s been around for quite awhile and look to have a legit business model. I also found an open source app that looks decent.
