Using Firefox since v1.0.2 and no plan to switch to any other browser.
All concerns that people have about Mozilla/Firefox, can be solved by tweaking preferences in about:config; nothing is hard-locked by Firefox developers.

While I do know the general concerns about AI and telemetry use in Firefox, but can you shed some light on Security issue? Thanks.
4·5 days agoI can also concur this (“salary is not shared upfront”) varies from country to country.
OpenWRT One router : https://openwrt.org/toh/openwrt/one
Same for my system which is also a mix of deb, flatpak and Snap.
The main complain of flatpak being size and performance in comparison to ‘native’ installations.
With usage of Flatpak growing over time, I think we are heading towards that way.
1·7 days agoThis was also my go to website when I purchased my Raspberry Pi and setting it up. Good memories :)
Easiest way I think is : https://ubuntu.com/appliance/nextcloud/raspberry-pi or https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/releases
Note: In my case (Overclocked Raspberry Pi4B + SSD), I manually installed Nextcloud using docker (https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud/) and used for a year.
As others have pointed out (and so is my experience), the performance will be okayish; the main issue you will encounter is thumbnail generation being quite slow (even with overclocked Raspberry Pi).
Couple of suggestions: Try to keep the installation slim, avoid too many addons/ extra packages.
Also, make sure your Raspberry Pi is connected to LAN and not via Wireless. As that will help with at least improving network throughput.
I recently migrated to old laptop based homelab setup and installed Nextcloud AIO, and the throughput is significantly higher as it should be over LAN.
No, not really true, IMO.
If all distros come together and agree on a single package format (e.g. deb), then if arch makes a package available in .deb, it can be downloaded and installed on Ubuntu or Fedora, as it becomes an universal package format like flatpak.
Currently we have to compile the source code in such situations.
The fact that there is NO agreed single package standard across distros.
I’m using Voyger iOS client on my phone, so decided to self host the same web app on my homelab.
Split screen mode is useful for me on desktop.

Is it me or this app has issues with smooth scrolling?
Cloudflare Tunnel is a good fit to your use case. You only need a domain name to expose your web server via Cloudflare.

1·9 days agoBut how much is anyone forced to use snaps
Both Firefox and Thunderbird are installed as Snap package. And, you have to fiddle with repo settings a bit to give Mozilla repo a higher priority to install deb packages.
Nextcloud AIO?
I’m running the following apps as docker container on a 12+ years old Alienware M14x R2 ( spec: https://dl.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_alienware_laptops/alienware-m14x-r2_reference guide_en-us.pdf).
Upgraded RAM to 16 GB, and replaced HDD with internal SSD for better system throughput.
Instead of Wi-Fi, I connected it to LAN for better network throughput.
The performance is good for me and my wife even though I’m running it in power saving mode.
OS: Ubuntu Server 24
Apps: (On rootless docker)
- Nextcloud AIO
- Jellyfin
- Vaultwarden
- AdGuardHome
- DrawIO
- IT-Tools
- SearxNG
- LibMedium
- Traefik
- Linkwarden
- Squid
- Quetre
- Portainer
- Transmission
When working remotely, I’m using Tailscale to access it.
NextCloud - Self hosted personal cloud solution that you can run on Docker or bare metal.
If I’m not mistaken then Chrome enabled Site isolation in 2019 and Firefox in 2021[1].
MV3 itself is controversial[2] as it unfairly targets extensions that block ad - a major source of revenue for Alphabet.
Alphabet has all the money in the world to make a browser as secure and as privacy friendly as possible. Their focus is only on “secure browser” part.
Mozilla lacks of funding (in compare to Alphabet), but still mostly outdo Alphabet on the “privacy” aspect of browser. And, they play catching up game on security aspect of browser.
