What exactly is the deadman setup? I did a quick search and found someone asking for a feature from last pass. Is this what you’re referring to?
I’ve debated on using a bank safe but I’m still unsure about the regulations in my country regarding them. Notably what can law enforcement do without a warrant etc etc.
In terms of self hosting I think that’ll likely be the route I go as well, where family can just “shut it down” upon my death. I’m sure my partner might want to keep a few things (e.g. my kodi setup) but the things they would want to keep aren’t too difficult I feel.
I wish the address book and calendar information were also encrypted
However, Open-Exchange, the software platform used by Mailbox.org, does not support the encryption of your address book and calendar. A standalone option may be more appropriate for that information. (source)
I currently use protonmail but if mailbox.org made that change I’d switch immediately, so I could actually get calendar integration on KDE (with Kontact)
I understand why they wouldn’t want to suddenly change the branding of existing projects though.
I’m not sure if I agree, I feel like the long term damage of keeping the names is greater than changing them now to Fedora Plasma Atomic (Formerly Kinoite) / Fedora Atomic Workstation (Formerly Silverblue). Leaving them as is, is just going to create more confusion in the future to new users who won’t immediately understand why the naming convention is different for the other spins and will create more confusion for documentation / support threads online.
I feel that I am 50:50 on it, immutable at least conveyed more information about what it is while Atomic feels a lot more “buzz-word-y” and does not convey as well what it means. Regardless, I’d say the bigger issue is keeping the old Silverblue & Kinoite names, they really should change them even if it means having a ~2 year period of having “Formerly Silverblue / Kinoite”.
Thank you for the very thorough reply! For god knows what reason I get this error: error: app/org.mozilla.firefox/x86_64/stable not installed
when running the xdg-open firefox-reader command, yet manually running flatpak run --user org.mozilla.firefox about:reader?url=https://example.com
works just fine. I’ll have to troubleshoot it when I have a bit more time ;p
Thanks again for your very thorough write up and the linked articles. Have a good day :)
Update: It seems like on my system, the --user
flag was the issue, removing it made the script function. I am using Fedora Kinoite (Immutable version of KDE Plasma), so perhaps it is just a difference in how flatpak is configured between distros? I’ll have to read into it more later.
I’ll keep my answer focused on KDE Connect as I no longer use a TWM. You can most definitely use KDE Connect in non-Plasma environments. For non-Plasma (and non-Gnome * ) environments you can just install the kdeconnectd
package. Then, to start the KDE Connect daemon manually, execute /usr/lib/kdeconnectd
. You can schedule this to autostart as a systemd unit, or in the config for your TWM (I know in sway/i3 you could start it, I’m assuming it is similar for many other options)
If you use a firewall, you need to open UDP and TCP ports 1714 through 1764. If you use firewalld
specifically, there’s an option to enable KDE Connect rather than manually specifying it. This also let’s you have it only work on private networks and not public if you so chose.
See Arch wiki for more details
*For gnome I would recommend using gs-connect even if you have a tiling extension
£ KDE-Connect: does that work on TWMs? Is there a good implementation? Can I use GSConnect elsewhere too?
It depends on which version you install. They have a version where user namespaces are disabled so tools such as podman and distrobox cannot run and flatpak requires bubblewrap to run as root. If you download the other version podman etc. will run and flatpak will also use user namespaces

I’d much rather use a separate Firefox (now Mozilla I think) account for my professional work. I also would prefer having separate extensions, notably Zotero connector is kind of useless for my personal browsing
Most of the documents I produce are converted to PDF or printed, so I use Nimbus Roman or Nimbus Sans (I believe). I do use Open Dyslexic font
For UI I really enjoy Inter, although Ubuntu, Roboto and IBM Plex Sans are also nice
For terminal I use Hack, although Source Code Pro is nice
The other nice thing for “state funded media” is they often have translations for international audiences
For example CBC / Radio-Canada also have an international page, Radio-Canada International offered in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic etc.
I always assumed xeyes was made for that exact purpose, somewhat funny that it was not designed for this.
I don’t think a phone needs to be 100% waterproof to 50 metres, but some amount of water-resistance is just good product design. Companies should not be encouraging people to dunk their phones in water, I think IP ratings sadly encourage this as well as some of the advertising around their water resistance claims.
But having some amount of water resistance built into electronics helps reduce e-waste because accidents do happen. For more serious water activities people should be buying waterproof bags for their electronics.
My old Galaxy S5 was water resistant (IP67, 30min/1 metre submerged)
The rear cover had a gasket to prevent water entering the motherboard, micro sd, battery, sim etc.
I know a bunch of people here have mentioned Bitwarden, but I would like to mention one feature that makes it superior to all others. You can integrate it to services like SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, Firefox Relay, DDG etc. and auto-generate email aliases within the Bitwarden extension. In theory it is more secure to not do this but it is such a huge QoL feature to just hit the randomize button in the extension to create an alias for a new login. It also populates the info field on simplelogin with something along the lines of “Auto-Generated by Bitwarden for: [website]”
I highly recommend silverblue! The only thing that can be frustrating is Steam and other game related things, particularly with wireless controllers it seems. But overall it makes it very hassle free imo.
You and someone else have mentioned the deadman switch, does the other person need an account or can credentials be made for them? I haven’t used bitwarden in a while (since I migrated to gopass and then to keepass), so I’m guessing this is a new feature.
That is a very fascinating feature and I think I’ll look into it!
