Have you considered Orion? It has the sleekness of Safari (and based on WebKit) but gives you plug-ins from Chrome and Mozilla. I love it because it doesn’t have the non-native clunkiness of other browsers.

We need laws that make this illegal. I get it that they don’t want to support it for whatever reason, but electronic waste is already a big problem and you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.
I mean, it can be fun to tinker regardless. I have a shitty Dell Inspiron from 2012 that I run Linux in CLI-only mode just for fun.
In fact it used to run my entire smart home, run long-running background tasks (like syncing huge files from an NFS share to Storj); hell at one point it was bringing in passive income as I rented out hard disk space.
I got downvoted for this? 😂
I stopped using it 20 years ago and have never had a need for it since. It sucked then and it still sucks now; I’ve even installed it a couple times in a VM for fun but always ended up deleting it after a few hours. I really don’t understand why someone would choose to tolerate such low quality software even for the most basic of tasks.
“shaking my head my head”
What was the controversy there? I’m not familiar with him.
I think people like to say it isn’t simply because they don’t agree with Apple.
It’s UNIX but the way it’s set up both is and isn’t aligned with UNIX conventions, and it’s definitely off base with Linux despite the ease with which Linux utilities can be ported.
I suppose what I could do is download a supported image (like OpenWRT) then get the image layout details from that in order to build my own image.
I know I’m going about it the hard way but it’s something I don’t mind learning.
I can’t vouch for what it’s based on but I’ve always read the first release of macOS (then Mac OS X) was based on FreeBSD 4.2, not OpenBSD.
I’m familiar with writing images, but I’d be crafting it myself since there’s no official one from Alpine Linux for the specific SoC.
I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
It’s exactly that, I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
Have you confirmed that with something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com? DNS leaks are common so it’s good to check.
What do you do if your hardware is housed at home with crappy residential upload speeds?
It’s a genuine question because I’ve settled for hosting on Storj, but because my friends and family can’t be bothered to connect via its client I’m running a WebDAV rclone
proxy on a VPS over Tailscale. So not only am I paying for the storage itself, I’m also paying for transferring the data and on top of all that, it defeats the point of Storj being P2P from and end-user perspective.
God this is a fantastic way to explain climate change
Shit, I’m a web developer and I’m fed up with all the ads, tracking and stalking that goes on. It’s so ingrained like “why not use Google for analytics?” or “just host it on Amazon.” 90% of the services we use at work I refuse to use at home (and go as far as outright blocking them).
I love Linux but I wish the BSDs weren’t getting left behind.
For the record, I really like macOS and Apple products as my “consumer” devices but all my side projects, web servers, routers, etc. run Linux. I ran FreeBSD for a long time until I got into containerization and Docker.
I just built a DIY router on Alpine Linux. I don’t want to deal with an entire web UI and all that trash. I just want minimal Linux and some ip6tables
.
I think the idea was to have a discussion.
