  • I recently disabled Dash to Panel, and installed Pop Shell. I’m loving it so far, using my Trackpad gestures from switching between workspaces. Granted, I don’t really need more than 3 or 4 desktops (Browser, Terminal, Messaging…) and it’s not quite vanilla as I have Pop Shell managing tiling for me (but still pretty close!). I also need to try it with my “docked” workflow, using an external monitor and keyboard shortcuts (as opposed to trackpad gestures).




  • Do they require to have a backdoor into the actual app (on your phone) or into the servers.

    I’m not sure how data is stored locally (probably encrypted tho), but some time ago the FBI demanded Signal to give them all of the data they had on a specific account. All they were able to get was the phone number of said account and the account creation date.


  • I personally really, really like (Docker) containers and I host most of my stuff with it, on a Raspberry Pi and on (free tier) Oracle Cloud VPS’s. I also plan to (re)install Proxmox on a spare old laptop and run some stuff in VMs on that (namely Home Assistant) and might try a NixOS server too.

    So really, use both. Use the right tool for the job. And you can also run containers in VMs and even use Ansible to configure everything with playbooks, allowing you to re-run said playbooks when things go wrong.
