  • Well yeah, they are a company, I have never thought of them as a friend.

    I would like it if they released an annual “Firefox Pro” version, the only difference would be that Pro version would be branded as “Firefox Pro” and a badge in the about dialog.

    You would pay €20 for it, and Mozilla could rely less on ads, and focus more on privacy.



  • I have a few to recommend…

    Firefox - Stop giving an ad network all of your data on a silver platter.

    Affinity Photo - Good photo editing software with perpetual licensing.

    digiKam - FOSS photo organizing software

    Strawberry Music Player - A fork of a fork of amaroK, good music player!

    VLC - Watch any video file.

    Kodi - Consume your media library, in style!

    OpenRA - Play the original Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert as well as Dune 2000 on modern hardware/software for free.

    Unreal Tournament 2004 - I have bought this game three times, the original CD release on 6 discs, Steam and GOG. This is to my mind the best arena shooter ever, the original CD release even came with an official Linux installer.


  • One important thing to check up on before you start is weather your ISP permits hosting servers at home to not.

    Any port you open in your router will quickly be found and you WILL get attacked, this is automated and often called the background noise of the internet.

    Your IP WILL show up on sites like Shodan, and depending on your ISP they may also find it. You need to read up on what your ISP permits you to do with their internet connection.

    Normally it is chill, as long as you don’t cause issues for the ISP they don’t really care, but if your service starts attracting traffic, attack will increase and so might the issues your ISP see.
