    What do you think of using Google in your life?I use a Google Pixel 7 Pro at the moment, but I use GrapheneOS instead of OEM, and I think it is the best Android line of phones I have used so far. Their bootloader is lockable after installing custom operating systems which is much better than all other offers at the moment. The build quality, battery and design of the phone is solid as well. This phone has a lot of merits going for it which other Android phones are not replicating for the sake of a false sense of "security" or profits. I will appreciate Google for giving me a great phone to install GrapheneOS on, alongside Android for being a secure base for an operating system.I appreciate the Chromium browser more than other browsers in the market. While Google Chrome is junk regarding user privacy, as well as shoving AI in your face, Chromium itself is actually pretty solid. It is also the most secure option, offering a malloc() implementation better than Firefox's mozmalloc, although not as secure as hardened_malloc, by GrapheneOS. Firefox is also implementing AI features into their browser, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. MV2 is deprecated, sure, but you win more than you lose in security, as a lot of API features were exploitable. Chromium does a lot of good things, while Chrome gives the base itself a lot of bad blood. I would like to see what Servo can do, but I appreciate Google for making a secure browser.I generally despise a lot of what Google offers, however. I feel like they lean heavily on the deception of convenience, where Google gives really good results while it uses your data for the sake of advertising. This applies with the Google Suite (Mail, Office, and Drive among others) as well. I would much rather use FOSS or nonprofit alternatives, such as Tutanota, or LibreOffice. Google is essentially the serpent from The Book of Genesis, selling you the benefit of their convenience for the sake of having your data stolen for their use. As such, I will choose not to follow Google convenience promise for my security.Feel free to leave your opinions, and why I should consider other avenues rather than accepting a bit of Google in my life. As much as I love privacy, your privacy can't be guaranteed if there is no good security. Google may be known for piss-poor privacy, but their open source projects have a lot of security merits as well as good privacy. Do not use this as advice, but make your own conclusion.#google #privacy #security #grapheneos #chromium #technology #FOSS

    # "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.If you have questions, please do ask!https://neilzone.co.uk/2025/11/using-libreoffice-and-other-free-software-for-documents-as-a-lawyer/#LibreOffice #Linux #FOSS #lawfedi #vim #git #Markdown

    Still looking how to balance your VMs in #Proxmox clusters? #ProxLB 1.1.9 is here!This release adds features that were requested during the #DutchProxmoxDay2025 which was hosted by our friends Tuxis (tuxis.nl). I'm hearing your feedback and all your feedback from the community and user base is important to me, so let me introduce the following new features:* Add an optional memory balancing threshold* Add affinity/anti-affinity support by pools* Add pressure (PSI) based balancing for memory, cpu, disk* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for nodes* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for guestsYou can simply upgrade via APT or by obtaining the latest Docker/Container image. PSI based balancing (still in beta) requires Proxmox VE 9 or greater.Thanks to my employer@credativ@mastodon.social (https://credativ.de) who provides me the required time to work at this.GitHub: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLBGitHub Release: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB/releases/tag/v1.1.9Author: @gyptazy@gyptazy.com#PVE #Proxmox #Community #OpenSource #FOSS #gyptazy #DutchProxmoxDay #coding #projects #virtualization #vms #hypervisor #homelab #vmware #alternatives #pve #balancing
