The DGI Mini 3 Pro. Looks pretty cool. For that. Frankly you could just buy a separate cheap phone or tablet to use with just that or use an old one you already have. When you buy something to replace it later you could also consider openness and compatibility too.

Also decide what apps that you must have. If you can use the browser version or the progessive webapp version which is just the browser version installed that is probably better. Or if you do not need it on your phone use the browser version on you laptop.

In the end though you will have some of these platforms for network reasons. Mostly things like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn. Google is not one of them though except for android itself. You also do not have to spend a lot of time contributing to these platforms. Use them when you need to nothing more.

Well that is the point isn’t it. Companies are not very reliable. The only thing they can be relied on to do is whatever butters their bread and that can change at any time. There is also a PR component and a fact component and they do not always agree.

Proton is really no different. I seem to remember they changed what they said on their website after outing that activist. Presumably to be a little less misleading. Again, I am impressed with Proton but not infinitely impressed.

Security audits do not guarantee security. They are just the best we have. Just as code reviews do not guarantee good and trustworthy code. In the end, we do not know what we do not know. In the end, every system has its weaknesses.

Sure I believe Proton is a reasonable supplier. Even with that Proton for example is on the record of giving out user info to governments. I am sure they did not meet the expectations of that activist.

All security is porous. So there is every reason to believe that Proton or any other org will have a major breach at some point.

Edit: Just think of the LastPass debacle.

Pretty much any IMAP mail provider combined with Nextcloud for sync will work.

Keep in mind too that Proton Mail has a commercial offering that should work with thunderbird. I have no experience with it.

We use our ISPs mail with our Nextcloud instance but long run will probably move to domain mail with maybe Fastmail for the mail component. Not sure yet. I will be interested in what you find.

Supply chain attacks also show one reason that using older software like Debian stable may be a better plan for things that matter. All new software versions need some time to be tested and vetted.

It also shows the importance of security in depth. That less is more in terms of code dependencies and complexity. That knowing dependencies is as important as knowing your code.

I would consider the xz incident to be a success. The supply chain attack was found pretty rapidly. We have already seen many of these and we will see more. Ones I remember off the top of my head include Linux Kernel, NodeJS, Python PyPI.

I would not over blow this. Security is an ongoing activity and all security is porous.

My wife and I have used GnuCash for 20 years. We used Quicken before that. Like GnuCash way better since it is actually double entry accounting. The major limitation of GnuCash is that it is not concurrent. So to people cannot be modifying the ledger at the same time. Not sure about viewing. It can be SQL database backed though I have never used that functionality. The other place where FOSS stuff probably lags is integrations.

Edit: Another area in which GnuCash is weak is basis tracking. Fine on accounting for gains and losses but for tracking the basis is limited. At least my version is. I am on 3.x which is the version in the repos of my near end of life Debian 10 distro and latest is 5.5. At least my version there is no way to show true returns either.

Why ssh? Does ssh use xz?

I think it depends on how good your Numpy build is. Lot of Numpys are not that well built so Numba seems to help there too in that case.

For a python library to be fast it needs to be compiled for your specific hardware, vectorized, with fast math, and auto parallel. Most are probably not unless you build them youself.

Nice thing about Solidworks is I think is used the ACIS kernel. Means it is directly compatible with a lot of other software.

Actually Solidworks is consider low to mid market. NX and whatever PTC calls their high end now are the main stream CAD systems as far as I know.

LibreOffice unless MS Office comparability is the most important thing. Then maybe try ONLYOFFICE.

I used to use Solidworks and NX some. I think there are similarities. That is sketch based. I admit though, not really learned FreeCAD either. On my list some day.

There are a bunch. There are fewer that are multiuser. Search alternativeto. Thing is people want more then double entry accounting. Electronic payment processing, reporting, payroll, AR, tax… Then how does it work with the professionals you hire.

Edit: For personal stuff, my wife and I use GNUCash. It does have small company features. I do not think it is concurrent though, but it can be used with an SQL backend though. We do not use the database mode so no experience with it.

FreeCAD is the best FOSS program I know for solid modeling. Librecad works for 2D.

No I did not. Financial forum her is kind of dead. Not sure what other tax related forums there are on lemmy. My question was about some specific issues related to getting an incorrect 1095-C. I think I have decided on a cousre of action now but was looking for others thought too.

Maybe that is why I cannot see the answer. I have ublock origin enabled. :)

I put a question up yesterday on Reddit and got no engagement with it in like 12 hours. Maybe no one that knows anything is answering questions now. I guess we will see.
