Ente encrypted open source alternativ to Google Photos. Can be self hosted and supports S3 backend in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago

It can be encrypted...

Just deleted my Google account!!! in c/degoogle@lemmy.ml
[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 8 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Ente it you're looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They're end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.

I'm forking Ladybird and stepping down as SerenityOS BDFL in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I see it more like the browser group wanted it to be a 'real' browser and not held down by having to be compliant with the hobby OS. But that's just my reading from the outside. :)

They mentioned being more open to OSS packages, which probably wouldn't work on Serenity.

Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't fret, I think a lot of us are on a long-term journey to de-Google. I've actually found that changing browsers is one of the easiest things to do, especially with the ability to import your bookmarks and such. With Firefox Sync, you pretty much have the same functionality as you would with your Google account signed into Chrome.

Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week (arstechnica.com)
 

Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

Wow I almost forgot the original name! I was skeptical it would catch on, as name changes are very hard, but fortunately it was very early on and I bet a lot of other people have forgotten as well.

Why You Should Self-Host Everything (dev.to)
What search engine do you use? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

I run a "public" instance with basic auth so I can use it from anywhere (phone, work). I've made my instance my default search engine everywhere. (I know basic auth is not the most secure but I wouldn't even really care it other people used my instance; I just don't want it hammered.)

I've been really impressed by Dart as a programming language. I'll admit I don't have a breadth of knowledge, but coming from C# I feel right at home, and it has a few extra neat tricks that C# is picking up in return (like empty list syntax and the spread operator).
