Riskable

You’re just explaining basic Android functionality using random apps of your choosing.

You’re not wrong… but is that attitude really necessary? It comes off as, “You’re just explaining basic shit any idiot would know, loser! 😝”

Besides, not all apps that load external URLs are like that: A lot of them will use Android Web View which annoys TF out of me.

If you install Firefox Focus and make it your default browser on Android the Jerboa client (and others I think) will use it when loading links unless you have a specific app associated with a given URL (e.g. NYT app, NPR app, etc).

If you’re not familiar with Firefox Focus it’s a version of Firefox built for privacy. It basically makes it so that every URL you load behaves like a private browser tab. It also has ad-blocking built in which is sweet (though it doesn’t work on everything/not as good as uBlock Origin).

Oops: Just realized your question is related to Mastodon and not Lemmy. Though I’m certain that Firefox Focus would work the same way for Mastodon clients.

Actually, I just checked Tusky and yes, it does load URLs in Firefox Focus. So my advice is still good 👍

This might not necessarily be the case for much longer with storage costs finally reaching certain thresholds.

2TB SSDs only cost ~$100 and you can cram a lot of SSDs into a tiny space with only a minimal amount of cooling (still need a fan but just a fan).

The next bottleneck to overcome is upload bandwidth. Too many providers offer asynchronous service with weirdly low/slow upload limitations. However, that too might be changing over the next few years as DOCSIS 4.0 supports 10Gbit down/6Gbit up (DOCSIS 3.1 only supported ~1Gbit up). An important note about DOCSIS 4.0 is that in order to take advantage of it’s improved features (on the ISP end) you need to provide more upload bandwidth to the client (well, you can still cap it at the router but at that point the ISP is just being an asshole instead of actually “managing bandwidth”).

Docker containers aren’t running in a virtual machine. They’re running what amounts to a fancy chroot jail… It’s just an isolated environment that takes advantage of several kernel security features to make software running inside the environment think everything is normal despite being locked down.

This is a very important distinction because it means that docker containers are very light weight compared to a VM. They use but a fraction of the resources a VM would and can be brought up and down in milliseconds since there’s no hardware to emulate.

I tried using the SharePoint Plugin for TC, but it requires the freaking pope to allow my loggin.

SharePoint

Oh come on! Everyone knows that SharePoint’s only reason for existing is to act as a black hole for Microsoft Office documents. They go in but they never come out. Nothing intelligent can escape!
