Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it’s…how about for the letter A?

I am using a $5/month server with 1GB of ram, and 25GB of storage. If I want to upgrade it, I need to upgrade to $10/month. Linode doesn’t have a free plan after 60 days.
I used to have a really cheap domain from Namecheap before, and I used Cloudflare as my DNS. I’m going to buy a new domain, and Spaceship seems to be the cheapest registrar for my domain right now (I’m only buying for one year), however they seem really new. Are there any differences between Namecheap and Spaceship, and...
I have been reading up on Chrome’s new Topics API and FLoC. Can someone explain to me why it is bad? Do the negatives of FLoC also apply to Federated Learning? (I’m not saying that FLoC is good, I’m just confused.)
I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS’ extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don’t know what to choose. My possible options are:...
I got a “Dynamic Email” today from the Google Store. after some research, I found out that Amp4Email (“Dynamic Email”) is made by the same team as AMP. Is it really like AMP, am I sacrificing privacy by using it, and is it another monopoly like AMP was?
I have a laptop with EndeavourOS KDE installed with printer drivers. I disabled my firewall, and tried to set up a Brother MFC-9130CW printer. Oddly, both the KDE printer setup program and the EndeavourOS Fedora (probably?) printer setup program only detected a driver version of it. I had to open up the CUPS web panel, and it...
I have stopped using Office programs, mostly because I don’t want to deal with setting up Wine. I am making a birthday card for someone, but I noticed that LibreOffice Draw doesn’t have the Borders and Accents menu like Publisher does. Is there something that can replace it (website/extension/menu)? I’m looking for...

I have made a decision to start a Linux server for some projects (files, media, etc.). However, I don’t know what would be a good server for me to use. Is there any good choices for me to use? I use EndeavourOS for my laptop and my desktop, if that matters....
I use Element as my Matrix client, but all of the Secure Backup and Cross-Signing buttons confuse me. Does anyone know the difference between pressing Reset instead of Delete Backup for the Secure Backup? Also, how does Cross-Signing share the same key with Secure Backup, or am I mixing something up?
I keep hearing on VPN ads that you have to use a VPN to not have your login information stolen. So far I have been using Cloudflare WARP to be safe enough. However, if I am using an HTTPS website, do I really need a VPN or WARP? Will an attacker on the same network as me be able to access passwords transmitted over HTTPS?
I have a GeForce 210 GPU on an EndeavourOS computer. I use Noveau drivers, but some apps like Blender have a broken user interface, and KDE acts weird sometimes. I tried installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers following the Archlinux wiki, but I did not have any display output at all. I also tried running the NVIDIA driver...
I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.
I used to use Atom as my primary code editor, and it was really easy to disable telemetry in it (just two clicks). Now that Atom is no longer supported, I decided on using VSCode or VSCodium. However, I don’t really know which one to choose....
I am currently running EndeavourOS on my laptop, and I have all of the “printer” packages from installation installed. My company uses a Papercut NG server to manage printing, and I have an account in the system. However, there are no clear guides for installing the Papercut client on Linux, or printing to a managed printer...
I actually used Mint as my first distro, however the software it has is way too out of date for me (for example, Wine was many months out of date for me), so I can’t use it.

Can someone explain to me why FLoC is considered bad?

Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool
I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet?
