Google starts selling refurbished Pixel phones
  • The prices are insane though. $539 for a 6 Pro that has already received its last major update and is only getting 2 years of security updates. $629 for a 7 Pro that adds one more year of updates. Plus the 7 Pro can be bought new with 4 times the storage for less money.

  • The Best Lemmy Client
  • Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.

    Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.

  • Alternative email?
  • Proton is still a for-profit company. However, there is now the non-profit Proton Foundation that is the largest shareholder of the Proton company (not necessarily majority shareholder).

    Plus, non-profits are not guaranteed to be positive. See OpenAI for example.

    Edit: Grammar

  • arstechnica.com “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock

    We obtained 900 complaints the FCC received about T-Mobile’s infamous price hike.

    “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock

    T-Mobile promised users who bought certain mobile plans that it would never raise their prices for as long as they lived—but then raised their prices this year. So it's no surprise that 2,000 T-Mobile customers complained to the government about a price hike on plans that were advertised as having a lifetime price lock.

    This is extremely disappointing news. I have been using the Syncthing-Fork version, but since it is based on this app, this may be the end for that app as well.

    You should be using an RSS reader.
  • Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

    I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.

  • what is your Favorite passwords manager and why
  • Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.

    I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.

  • 1 day left on Kickstarter for Michael Lucas’s next book: Run Your Own Mail Server

    Michael Lucas has a long history of writing books about BSD and networking including Absolute FreeBSD, Networking for Systems Administrators, and SSH Mastery, among many others. He is working on his next book: Run Your Own Mail Server: A Book for Independence & Privacy.

    Summary: Running your own mail server is not only an act of defiance against some of the largest exploitative companies in history. It is not a mere education in protocols. Email is essential to modern industrial society. By running your own email, you seize control of your communications. You can tune your email to fit your needs, rather than accepting the defaults imposed by a company that exploits you without a speck of consideration for any of your issues. You own it. Running your own email requires only freely available tools, a server, and some knowledge. This book will give you that knowledge.
