In case it swings your judgement either way, Njalla is run by one of the three Piratebay founders.

Dev here! Thanks for your interest!
Aw. On Artix, it wants to pull in wayland. No thanks.
Hm, I guess you're just running text mode browser on that machine..?
On Arch the wayland package is pulled in as transitive dependency of the gtk3 package. I don't believe it will actually be loaded at runtime. However, I think that gtk3 might not be a hard dependency at all anymore (it used to be for Firefox in the past so this might be a leftover that konform inherited).
If you're comfortable with makepkg I could suggest trying the konform-browser-bin AUR package and simply remove gtk3 as dependency from the PKGBUILD, run makepkg -si and fingers crossed that might work. More details in konform-browser/Arch repo, where contributions are also welcome. If you go the source route, see the note about profiling without wayland.
EDIT: OK I took a look and unless Artix is repackaging some core packages, I don't see a way to make it work on Arch at least: xorg-server depends on libglvnd depends on mesa depends on wayland. Among others. Are you actually able to run an X server at all without having the wayland package installed? Or is thsi for headless use without any graphical environment...? Curious about the use-case! You can also try the binary tarball or just tar -xfing the arch package and invoke the konform binary directly.
Aw. https://gpo.zugaina.org/Search?search=konform no ebuilds on any listed overlays for Gentoo yet.
FWIW, it's not planned at the moment but here's the issue currently tracking Gentoo packaging: https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source/issues/9
One thing to keep in mind as new is that "VPN" is a technical term with pretty clear meaning among the technical people but it has a very fuzzy meaning in marketing and branding. Referring here to "VPN apps" that may just be a local DNS relay (ie: it will only tunnel and filter your DNS requests; all your actual traffic still goes through your normal connection as clear as always). Oftentimes, it's what we would call a proxy. Android has not at all helped here.
In either case, yes, you can usually chain things. What if any benefits you get from that depends on both technical specifics (which protocols) and your circumstances and threat model.
For example, if we consider only Wireguard (one of the VPN protocols Mullvad offers).
No VPN/proxy: Your ISP sees everything
1 proxy: ISP sees that you are connecting to proxy but not what servers you're actually talking to. VPN provider now sees everything instead.
2 proxies: Proxy A sees your encrypted traffic to Proxy B. Proxy B sees all your traffic but doesn't know where you are.
3 proxies: Congratulations, you have manually built a shitty onion circuit (Tor works like this)
Mullvad has their own "multi-hop" feature which chains two Mullvad nodes but i have to question using that strictly for privacy reasons, considering it's by the same provider and the ports make it predictable from the ISP.
What about gwenview?
good point for the offlineimap cronjob, I’ll take note of that.
I might as well go as far as suggesting to start there with your current mail provider if the local/offline-first flow is something that could work for you (and assuming it's not something you already do, in which case carry on). Once you've adapted to a local-first mail reading flow with any client that's separate from the "app" or webmail tethered to your mail service, then rest of migrations should be smoother and hopefully feel less daunting. Doesn't mean you have to keep doing it that way only forever but establishing the infra and habit once for a while can help with both resilience and confidence in everything that follows.
If you're roaming between devices and places enough that local-first feels untenable then the "syncbox" could be a little SBC or whatever; it could be the machine you also use read and write mail from but doesn't have to be.
NP and good luck!
No experience with Migadu but yeah, I think 1 account = 1 login is the intended meaning in their FAQ.
At $19/year couldn't just gifting a separate micro sub to your SO might be a option if you adminning her email feels weird to either of you?
Am I missing something else?
You don't mention how you'll be accessing your emails so maybe this is something you already solved for: Regularly syncing down all mail locally means you won't have to rely on the mail provider as a single-point-of-failure for keeping your emails safe, secure, private and available. This could consist of anything from a simple offlineimap cronjob to a full-blown "offline" separate mail server.
Maybe. But be careful about putting in that PIN or connecting it to your network when you get home, in case you get it back after...
Hi, I'm new here, first time posting to this community, was hoping this could be well-received here.
I see this starting to attract downvotes - is this considered breaking any rule, are cross-posts frowned upon in general, is the content too basic for you 1337 h4xx0rz, title not serious enough, or some other issue with the post? Feedback appreciated.
Appreciate the links!
And the option "Always show scrollbars" enabled because I have not found the preference to do it through the configuration file.
The labeling makes it less obvious but that maps to widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled=false so also part of Konform upcoming update :) In general I find the quickest way to identify the mapping of a UI configuration and the about:config key is to:
- launch a clean profile
- open
about:config - click
Show only modified preferences - open
about:preferences - change the thing
- tab back. what's new?
BTW, widget.non-native-theme.enabled is a no-op since the direct GTK integration was removed a while back: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1726283#c4
You know, I think we should do at least something about those scrollbars^1^ too. Not sure how close this is to what you prefer but hopefully a more sane default with more traditional fixed-width scrollbars should be part of next release. In general aiming to keep subjective and aesthetic UI tweaking to a minimum but I think the usability argument supports this one at least until anyone voices a different opinion.
So ty for that suggestion and also thank you for the warm feedback you left on the repo! :3
^1^: Not only are they thin; they change the width dynamically when hovered and overlay on top of content. The potential for misclicks is not great.
