I have only found the source code for the Android and iOS application, but not for the server.

Thanks :)

Hi, thanks for sharing this news, but please post the release notes from the Mozilla website, instead of (or at least along with) a third party service.

As an alternative to an Android TV, you could look into the Plasma Bigscreen project. Run it on whatever hardware you have available.

Plasma Bigscreen is an open-source user interface for TV’s. Running on top of a Linux distribution, Plasma Bigscreen turns your TV or setup-box into a fully hackable device. A big launcher giving you easy access to any installed apps and skills. Controllable via voice or TV remote.

I’m currently looking into Plasma Bigscreen as a desktop environment for an open source smart TV, it looks promising.

You’re supposed to host on whatever you want.

Fork it if you want, remove what troubles you.

1 line below, you can read

Tech companies have said scanning messages and end-to-end encryption are fundamentally incompatible. Earlier this month, junior minister Stephen Parkinson appeared to concede ground, saying in parliament’s upper chamber that Ofcom would only require them to scan content where “technically feasible”. Donelan said in response to questions about Parkinson’s statement that further work to develop the technology was needed but government-funded research had shown it was possible.

In practice, I doubt this will have any consequence on encryption, as the title of this post suggests.

uMatrix seems to no longer be maintained or useful with uBlock Origin.

This is the correct answer.

Yeah in the long run it’s not really an issue, still each new website is a new guessing game of “what do you need to get working?”

Yes by itself it hardly breaks anything, but blocking 3rd party scripts and frames usually does. It’s no big deal, you can whitelist what is needed.

The main consideration I believe is missing is the cost of the hardware where you will be hosting the server. Maybe you have a old computer lying around, in that case its not an issue of course. By the way 25$ per month seems a bit expensive, there are probably cheaper alternatives, just for the sake of comparison.

There are Linux distributions developped and maintained to be used without having to customize anything, and without any prior knowledge of how the OS works. Check out Ubuntu or Fedora for two good examples.

Hi, I think localAi is a good place to start.
