I used it as my primary browser on my laptop/desktop. I supported the cause and through my usage I planted +150 trees, but the trade-off is steepening so I'm going to have to jump ship.

I'll be pivoting to DuckDuckGo as my main search engine, and use Brave for more nuanced/specific results.

I think part of the reason is that because phones are now in the 'matured' part of the marketing cycle. There's a smaller and smaller noticeable difference in performance between a $200 phone and a $1000 phone, and so companies need to compete on smaller and smaller profit margins, and against very inexpensive import brands.

Definitely look into laptop servers. They have the benefit of having a built-in screen, keyboard and battery in case power goes down. IMO, as a fellow newbie, it's an easy way to dip your toes into hosting using existing/cheap resources

Simple, yet better UX than most server-related content. Thanks for sharing

Webcord is an alternative front-end solution that is more privacy-orientated.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about ctop.

I installed Debian on a laptop to use as a server, and planned to use it for Firefly III among other things, but got nervous hearing how tough it was/is to lock down a server.

Not that it is a deal-breaker, but this functionality is also built into Chromium browsers if you right click the address bar and select 'manage search engines'

Definitely feels like OP is describing a physical book. I supposed the nature of tech/humanity is to go full circle at times
