Yeah, mirroring the other comment here -it's standalone app everytime for me. I'm a bit of a power user, so maybe it's the extra functionality that just can't be handled in a browser which already has 20 other tabs open, but live colab is ... well, just not used that often.

Sure, we'll be tweaking cells in a spreadsheet now & again, but my technical documents are done by one person, then reviewed (comments, track changes, etc) by others for the audit trail.

And I'm just not going to purchase a Microsoft product again.

But I will contribute to Open Source... ODF has done great things.

If I've understood the context of the article, this is admitting that US cyber defenses aren't working.

There's multiple “offensive” objectives from MITM China's comms, to a Nation State DDOS and I suspect it's more about surveilance than knocking out a server.

But if anyone thinks that their country isn't already doing some form of cyber offense already is a little behind the times.

Something to help visualise BTRFS volumes & sub-volumes (ie, free-space, etc)

syncthing's development is alive & well.

I'm presuming you're referring to the Android wrapper that had it's last update 2 weeks ago?

The Syncthing-Fork project is also still alive & (presumably) continuing on

That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that

I have a single connection to the 'net, hence a single firewall.

I've port scanned my firewall (externally) when travelling for work, so I've verified what's exposed and verified that GeoIP works (forgot to enable a region before travelling there), so I've reached the point where I'm happy with this setup

Fair point, I neglected to mention that I have >1 Public IP The firewall directs traffic as required.

Whatever you choose, consider a donation to the devs, that's what helps prevent these apps from dying

Or Syncthing...

Use another platform instead?

Kinda Scenario 1 is the standard way: firewall at the perimeter with separately isolated networks for DMZ, LAN & Wifi

The Firewall provides a proxy for anything in the DMZ, so all the filtering is done there and not on the DMZ device(s).

GeoIP on the firewall, so anything that's opened to the interweb - inc. inbound VPNs can only come from selected regions.

Fail2Ban on DMZ device(s), to prevent repeated login attacks.

Wifi has multiple SSIDs to block / permit outbound access to the internet (IoT stuff), LAN (Guests), etc.

Then regular updates / patching / backups....

I don't want WhatsApp & I avoid the 'stores, so it's F-Droid options for me...

Any opinions on Jami?

I'm also seeing XMPP mentioned in the comments, so I might look at that a bit more...
