Thought I'd ask before installing it and potentially messing things up.

Ok, I think what we're supposed to do now is this: Go to the Update Manager>Edit>Software Sources>Maintenance and either "Remove foreign packages" or "downgrade foreign packages." I think this's been there for a while now, just never used it before.

Confront them? Ignore them? Move on to other things? Probably the last two.

It would be nice if Leta had tabs for images, videos, etc.

StartPage should be !sp.

This is unfortunately the same type of experience I've had with SearXNG. 🙁

I haven't really experienced a worsening of DDG, and this is a bit off topic, perhaps, but—

I have yet to find a better alternative to Google's video search. Google Books also remains valuable in many ways, since it will give you different "search inside the book"-type search results than the Internet Archive will (and they also have some books that IA does not).

What's annoying to me is that StartPage, which is supposed to have Google search results, and by and large does, does not give the same video results as Google (go ahead, try it). It would also be nice to have an Invidious or FreeTube type front end for Google Books, and I believe there used to be something like that, but not any longer.

Some Google products still have definite value, it's just important that they derive no benefit from us using them.

Unfortunately PCs don't have very big back seats...🙄

This would effect Mullvad, right?

 

While I'm waiting for the Linux desktop client for Proton Drive . . . does anyone have any experience with Filen?

Up until recently there used to be these special batteries you could put in your fire/smoke/CO alarm that would contact you on your smartphone if the alarms went off while you were away.

They don't make them anymore, and if you want anything equivalent, it seems like you have to buy into an entire "smart home control system" or whatever they're called, and I don't need or want that.

It doesn't have to be a battery, but is there some way I can set up my alarms to contact me without surrendering all my privacy? The alarms I have now also aren't hard-wired into the house, which could present a problem, but that's why the Roost batteries were so nice!

Asking because USPS's frequently doesn't work.

 

As creator of this new community, I will take the liberty of making the first, in no way self-serving 🙄 post, which is as the title says: favicons don't display for custom search engines; it worked for Internet Archive, but not for libremd or for AlternativeTo. Any way to fix this?
