A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

NetGuard Pro - Allows you to see and control traffic from all apps, so you can prevent data flows to 3rd party hosts like the ones from Google or Facebook. The pro edition is paid and necessary, but it's all open source, just not gratis
Aegis Authenticator - open source 2FA authenticator
LibreTube - alternative, privacy-respecting, open source YouTube frontend using the Piped API
Oooh, I will check out Aegis and LibreTube, thanks :3
Aegis is fantastic
I swapped to Aegis not long ago and 100% recommend it.
Not quite wrapping my head around aegis, what's the point? It seems like a password manager, more or less
It's a Authenticator for 2FA like Authy.
Tbh I prefer it over Googles own Authenticator app. Glad I made the switch.
Is netguard still maintained? I seem to recall seeing the developer freeze development maybe a year or two ago? Hopefully I'm wrong.
Looks healthy. There was activity and new releases in 2021, 2022 and June 2023. Also, the app might be near feature complete, and if that's the case there will only be sporadic work left like keeping it updated/compatible or fixing security ssues.
