For what it's worth, meanwhile i have the new Arq 6 up and running smoothly... (but without the migration process of my old backups.)

By the look of their Twitter timeline the launch seems to be a bit of a disaster... I spent about 15 minutes buying, downloading and installing Arq 6. Then, i spent about 10 hours trying to fix things, and eventually downgrade back to Arq 5

"When you go outside scan every QR-code along the way." Huh, that sounds ridiculous/impossible... who will be putting these qr codes all over the Netherlands??

It's not relevant, because then the developer can release a new major version and require a new payment. The user will know exactly what changes this new major version has, and can decide whether he wants to pay for it or not. With sub

It's sad to see apps full of ads/tracking and ridiculous subscriptions thrive, while quality software like this gets into trouble. I've been happily using Omnifocus for a long time; - Single purchase, no subscription - e2e en

I was surprised how many websites actually work without changing anything... (and loading a lot faster without all the javascript bloat.) Once you understand how uMatrix works, it's 1 click to temporarily whitelist a site, which i hard

Mostly, yes. The bonus is you don't use your normal settings + extensions. Which also means ALL websites work, regardless of privacy related settings that might break some websites. So it's a handy alternative.

This is equal to complaining i can't tank electricity with my old Diesel fuel Volkswagen, because the new models can. It's innovation. There are (hardware, ...) limitations, so you simply cannot run the same software on old hardwa

I agree, and it's probably just a matter of time until Apple finds a way to kill this project too. Stifling peoples creativity for commercial reasons. It feels like instead of my own government, Apple/Google now dictate the new ru

The unfortunate truth is, Apple does not allow us to use a firewall on iOS. This is a DNS-sinkhole, which can be easily circumvented by apps (for example by using hard coded IPs.) I would say it's rather dishonest to state your app is

Agreed... an attempt to make users consume more, so annoying.

Fun fact: in macOS Little Snitch if you create a separate profile for your VPN interface (as specified with the goal to allow certain apps/traffic only when the VPN is up), circumventing the VPN it is as easy as: curl --interface

I dont think you can express Wireguard's battery usage by that %. Imagine these 2 use cases: #1. You do not use/touch your iPhone for 24 hours. Wireguard will now show 40% of the total battery that was used. #2. You play the game

> The killer feature for me is that Apple Music makes it seamless to add local mp3s into my library Yea i agree, that's the only reason i still use Apple Music next to Spotify, since some albums are not available in Spotify.

I have both Apple Music and Spotify, and i also dislike Apple's Music app; First, it deleted ALL my playlists on a random day for no apparent reason, and i couldn't restore them from backups because apparently the playlists are st

Yes, that's what i read also... so hopefully in a few months all apps that have 3th party logins like Google and FB are required to add SiwA and we will see a spike in popularity too...

If only Notion was private (like for example Omnifocus.) I can't imagine uploading all my private data to the cloud of a "free" app. OmniFocus is more expensive but i gladly pay to prevent my data from being analyzed & so

Then why use Searx, i might as well use a VPN + Firefox.

If it's own hosted, what's the difference? Whether i send queries to Google from my browser, or from my own hosted Searx instance, it's the same thing: a query from one of my static ip-addresses to Google (or other search eng
