Hi there

Moved Chitchat

  • How I came here

    I was browsing the internet searching about Nix OS sudo privileges and typed this domain mistakenly sudonix.com lol, and found this forum.

    I am impressed by the fact that how this platform takes privacy so seriously, there were proper beginner-friendly dialogs for explanations.


    About me

    I am a linux / foss guy, I know basic server management, but still, I’m a beginner, I also know frontend stuff html, css currently learning javascript then will move forward to backend stuff.

    I’ve only 1 year of experience, I’ve created 2 production websites, and 2 for fun and self-hosting some awesome open-source tools.


    Hopefully, this forum will help me out in the future with my queries, I like the UI, it’s NodeBB I guess, also there are no ads.

    I also wanted to bring the admin’s attention to this one, this email-confirmation text in a dark twitter theme looks inconsistent.

    🙂 That’s good for SEO of course, and great that you found this site.

    Thanks. I’m a security and technology expert by trade, and have a specific interest in privacy and that it should be respected at all times

    You’re in the right place. This forum is designed specifically to help others, and if it does that well, it’s achieved the objective I set out to fulfil. And, yes, I hate ads which is why you won’t find any here - only (hopefully) what you are looking for.

    Thanks. That’s actually resolved in the next version of the UI which will hopefully be released soon (once I’ve finished it) 🙂

    In the meantime, feel free to look around, ask questions, and if you’d like some background info about the founder of this site (me), then take a look here

    That’s cool to know, a salute from my side, nowadays people like you are found very rarely, trust me everyone wants to monetize their content over random tracking and advertising stuff.
    There’s a very small portion of the open-source community fighting to make the web better.

    Yea I randomly fall into the forum that is of my field, btw I really liked this place


    Off-topic

    Btw I think the upvote feature should be in questions only, and like and dislike buttons for normal discussion, I wanted to react to the above posts but I couldn’t because of my level in the community.

    Thanks. I’m really not into monetizing content, or charging someone the earth for a solution to a problem. I get much more satisfaction from the fact that users return on a regular basis and get the help they need with technical issues, plus insights into areas which they are less comfortable. The entire point of this site is to allow users to ask questions and get real world answers whilst at the same time, learning as they go.

    @Madchatthew I use it here. It is faster, but not sure if that extends to build times.

    Nice review. I would like to see the new 2a plus compared to the s23 plus and s23 ultra.

    The price on the nothing phone is so much better. You could get 2 nothing phones and almost 3 for the same price as a samsung phone. The performance on the 2a plus looks really promising if the graphs are true.

    I also wanted to post this. Here are the latest stats for the server so far. This is with all of the software setup and running along with doing updates once a week after testing them on my dev test server and making sure websites function properly.

    @phenomlab I was. I was one of the ones they gave access to, to help fix the computers and get them back up and running. It was fun running around the floor again fixing computers. Reminded me of my IT days haha

    @phenomlab said in Proton launch password manager:

    will charge for it no matter if you have the full-blown package like I have. If they offered a discount or another incentive, I may well have taken a different view, but to me, it just seems like easy revenue.

    Much like Surfshark do, they are owned by the same company now and you can tell, there’s always something extra cropping up like dedicated IPs, loads of discounts thrown your way which is fair enough but I don’t think you should have to them thrown at you constantly 😃.

    Fortunately Proton have kept things simple and have all products under one roof should you buy the right package.
