Just coming back to say that I'm loving recoll. I've set up Thunderbird to download everything with POP and I've pointed recoll at the profile directory. Since Recoll also seems to be able to read PDFs, it is giving me amazing results at blazing speeds. Honestly if there was a decent application to just pull down email with POP I probably wouldn't even open thunderbird other than to reply to stuff

It sucks that other ROMs are not as up to par in terms of security. That and the US doesn't have any other options either. Europe has Xiaomi and Fairphone at least, if anybody wants variety

Good plan. I'm balking at having to pay 500 for a mobile device which I know won't last me for more than 4 years at maximum (unless I spend more and buy iFixit repair kits which isn't my forté). If the FairPhone was available in the US I'd consider it but I guess running Graphene is probably a better idea given the price you got the device at. Thanks

Xe is insanely talented. If she is who I think she is, then I've watched her speak and her depth of knowledge across computer science topics is insane.

I look forward to TOR's PoW coming out for FOSS WAFs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

I don't think AI companies care, and I wholeheartedly support any and all FOSS projects using PoW when serving their websites. I'd rather have that than have them go down

Is there a reason why you bought the 8A when the 9A just came out? I think they are both $499

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah it's just the Pixels are becoming quite expensive. I liked it when the A series was under $400

I really would like a version of eOS without microG baked in so I can install it in a workspace. Sucks that there's not an easy option for that

Yeah I realised that after posting. I think we need a better one to deal with the cases of letting legitimate users in easier though

You mean the TOR project?

 

I have been looking for an email client on Linux after being tired of Gmail and Outlook web clients.

I had Thunderbird installed on my system and thought I'd give it a spin. I set up POP for my email accounts and it worked fantastic... For a total of 2 hours, after which I realised that searching in Thunderbird is simply not going to work for me. I need to search by attachment name and sometimes even by text inside attachment and unfortunately Thunderbird can't do that (I think I tried an extension too but it made the UI super clunky to the point that I couldn't even understand how to navigate it anymore).

Does Betterbird or any other email client fix this problem? I'm willing to try other options if they are FOSS.

Thanks

 

Hi, I'm running Debian with XFCE. I can't seem to bind the Windows key to the "Whisker Menu". I think I'm getting the name of the applet wrong, can someone tell me what the correct name is so I can create a new binding? Thanks

 

Hi,

I have realised that my understanding of DNS isn't very good, and that there are many new technologies being adopted by mainstream FOSS applications which augment DNS from how we traditionally know it (DNSCrypt, DANE etc).

I'm looking for a resource (blog, RSS feed) which talks about a lot about DNS and innovations happening in this space. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

My interest lies mostly in DNS tech which is being adopted by FOSS server and client applications.
