Getting certificate errors on webview browsers, while standalone browsers work flawless in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Braintrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Seems like I've found the culprit: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/trichromelibrary-squoosh

When I deactivate this module and try again, the error message disappears and shows up again when enabled.

Getting certificate errors on webview browsers, while standalone browsers work flawless (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi,

I'm getting an error message: "Certificate authority is not trusted." while using webview browsers.

Screenshot_20240624-185444778

On "standalone" browsers like Mull or Cromite I don't have this error.

Specs:
Android 10
Free Browser v2.8
Mulch Webview v126.0.6478.110
AdAway (root) v6.1.1 with installed certificate
Root with Magisk v27.0
Modules: Systemless Hosts
                  Magisk Trust User Certs
                  Open Webview
Private DNS: unfiltered.adguard-dns.com

Anybody knows how to fix this?

Discover - possible to limit download speed? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, sadly I have a very limited internet connection (10 Mbit). When I'm watching a video and then install something in Discover, it takes almost all the bandwidth and the video begins to stutter & buffer. Somebody knows if there's a way to limit the download speed for discover - preferably without installing additional software?

Happy to hear that it changed for the better. I'm still on Android 10, where it sadly isn't the default. But thanks for letting me know :)

I'd prefer that notifications are blocked by default (should be opt-in instead of opt-out). The only apps I NEED notifications for, are messaging apps, everything else is just annoying.

Why Are You Still Rooting Your Android Phone? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] Braintrain@lemmy.ml 17 points 9 months ago

I don't want bloatware and Google services on my phone. I want to install magisk modules and use root. If a phone doesn't allow unlocking bootloader and doesn't have decent custom rom (or GSI) support, there's no way I'm buying it.

Can someone recommend a good pdf reader? in c/android@lemmy.world

That's what I'm using:

I would advise to use open-source software wherever you can. You (almost) never have paywalls, ads or trackers there ;)

is it safe to use an android 8 device made in 2018 to 2fauthenticate? in c/android@lemmy.world

You can use an OTP Generator like Aegis Authenticator from F-Droid. Afaik it even works offline, so there should be no risk if you strictly keep it offline.

How to get rid of factory applied laptop stickers? (lemmy.ml)

Hi, I got a used laptop from an family member. It did have this this annoying sticker on it (see picture). Apparently for years already.

So, how can I remove it without scratching the metal body or leaving residue behind?

Edit: Having some problems with picture upload, but here's a similar photo for reference: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jDV7-ehqF38/maxresdefault.jpg

Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, I was wondering, is it useful to use multiple adblockers in a row?

I don't mean 4 or five 5 browser extensions more like a chain of adblockers, one on every passing network point.

Adblock DNS -> Pi-Hole -> Linux System with hBlock -> Browser with uBlock Origin

I have only a 10 Mbit Internet connection, so I fear that this would slowdown pageloads to much. On the other hand there are filterlists that uBlock can use where as Pi-Hole can't.

So what combination does make sense (is efficient in every aspect) and what do you use?

Sounds interesting. Do you have a source for the mentioned research?

What's an easy to use matrix messenger for family and friends? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi,

I'm searching for an "noob-proof" matrix messenger that is supposed to replace WhatsApp.

It should have E2EE enabled by default and a backup/restore function for contacts, chats and settings (preferably local backup, but nextcloud would be fine aswell).

It would be nice if you could also mention matrix clients that work on iOS, Linux and Windows as well (if there are any), since not all of my contacts use android or are always reachable per phone.

Happy to hear your recommendations and experiences.

Thank you!

Which FOSS FTP client app for android? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi,

till ca. 2018 I used clouds like Dropbox or Google Drive for storage. But since then I've moved more and more to FOSS, privacy-respecting software. Now I have a router with an USB port and built-in FTP (doesn't support SFTP) server. My plan is to backup some apps, pictures, settings etc. I would also store a copy of the most important files at a nextcloud instance. At the moment I don't have enough money to spend, otherwise I would have bought a NAS.

Q: Which FOSS android apps are available to up- and download from an FTP server?

Maybe you've also a little guide for me, as I was using only cloud storage for years and therefore have almost zero experience with this stuff.

Thank you :)

Online questionnaire to help choose an Android ROM (similar to distrochooser for Linux distros) (lemmy.ml)

Hi,

is there something like https://distrochooser.de/en/ just for Android ROMs?

It feels like there are hundreds of them and something like that would make the search easier.

For those wondering, I'm searching for suitable ROMs that could be built (from source), so I'm not limited by what's already available for my devices.

Thank you!
