  • Right now, the European webshop of Pine64 says the PPP is out of stock along with the PinePhone Keyboard. If it won't come back in stock in a few weeks, I might order it from the US-based webshop. Does anyone have experience on ordering the PPP from the US to an EU country? Roughly how much extra would I need to pay thanks to customs/delivery?

    Let's say, I create a bank with the caveat that all of my banking phone apps and webapps are FOSS (or if they depend on non-free components — banks probably do to communicate with each other —, then just OSS). Am I going to be behind the competition by doing this? If the most secure crypto algorithms are the ones that are public, can we ensure the security of a bank's apps by publicizing it? Are they not doing this because they secretly collect a lot of data (on top of your payment history because of the centralized nature of card payments) through these apps? EDIT: Clarifying question: Is there a technical reason they don't publicize their code or is it just purely corporate greed and nothing else?

    What is your workflow on eBooks? Do you anotate them? Are there any open standards that are useful?

    Jailbroken Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2 with Koreader installed. Never really bothered to take notes while reading (let alone sync them), so I'm gonna follow this thread.

    I download my books from Soulseek and manage/transfer them using Calibre.

  • Hi all! I recently installed [firefox-gnome-theme](https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-theme) to Librewolf, but it doesn't respect my GTK theme's colors, which is [Dracula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_(color_scheme)). All I need to edit is the color palette. Which file should I need to edit for the hex values? Thank you for your help in advance!

    I tried editing my config.yml as the guide suggests but the problem persists. The problem seems to be that I'm using MariaDB instead of MySQL (pdo_mysql is compatible with MariaDB). Is there anything more I can do or should I try installing MySQL?

    EDIT: Purging MariaDB (Debian repo ships this instead of MySQL) and reinstalling it with sudo apt install default-mysql-server fixed the problem. Thank you.

    Do you have any info on Viber being a bad service privacy-wise? It's a lesser-known messenger that prides itself on its privacy policy but I can't find any info on it being the case or not.
