  • No it’s the complaint about one of the few transparent revenue flows Mozilla managed to pull off.

    It’s disabled one step deep on the settings

    There is a shitload of stuff going wrong with the Mozilla foundation and this doesn’t even make the top 10.

    That’s the reason for my down vote: it’s nothing I want this community to focus on. It’s basically engagement bait with the topic “ads bad”.




  • That’s what Arthur describes: you’re comparing from my point of view two non issues against each other.

    If you don’t have the profile that either warrants:

    • Google would risk business revenue by having to handle a mittm attack done by them or
    • someone investing in an elaborate scheme to get a fingerprint copy

    And that being worth it instead of just getting you personally is a very specific threat model where I lack the fantasy on what would warrant that.

    Or to give the relevant xkcd:

    And to answer your specific question: I personally went with keepass2android and have neither issues nor concerns so far.









  • One thing that was only mentioned briefly by someone else is the physical button turning on the computer.

    Similar to the paperclip test figure out where the power button goes into the mainboardw and bridge that with a short cable. Is possible that by moving the case the old button lost a cable.

    This is just one more thing to test though, it’s really trial and error as you know :)





  • From what I understand: CasaOS is simply an abstraction layer and takes away a lot of the manual work.

    I agree with you that this shows down learning quite a bit.

    I see three ways forward for you:

    a) switch to a Linux base system, Debian, arch, nixos, whatever resonates and set up everything from scratch. High learning curve but no more hidden things.

    b) same as a but as a separate setup. This is what I would recommend if you have the time and cash. Replicate what’s already working and compare.

    c) figure out how to do things manually within the CasaOS framework. Can’t help you there though :)
