We did it! We fixed all the bugs! Well, all of them we know about, anyway. In this release we’ve changed quite a bit. We’ve cleaned up some unused sepolicy for added security.

Ah, android: can’t live with it, can’t live without it. The always present mobile operating system, the only competitor of iOS. But throughout the years, our favorite droid has changed, a lot. But you know what hasn’t changed? How fragmented it all is. And the damage google does to the ecosystem. The only thing iOS […]

Note: this article on why we run ads has been updated on February 23, 2022. Users coming from Android Police and other sites articles on Fox’s Magisk Module Manager are probably looking for this article. It’s really ironic. Some of us use AdGuard, and develop a magisk module that increases privacy and can block ads. […]

Ah, cryptocurrency, or crypto for short! The media does so love that word. Crypto this, crypto that, crypto is life! Crypto, that thing that’ll magically solve anything and everything. Or that weird thing that only nerds use, depending on who you are. But what the heck is crypto anyway? Should you be excited? And the […]

There is much, or was at one point, much discussion about which of the two browsers was better. Which is more secure? Which has better performance? Which has more features? Is it slick chrome? Or aging Firefox? Years later, the former is on top, with the latter falling behind more and more by day. Pretty […]

Since I’m sure you’d like to spend time with your families (even if it’s via Zoom or similar!) I’ll keep it short. This year, Christmas is going to look nothing like it ever has before. With the pandemic, so many of us won’t be having get together as they’re unsafe, or we are mourning the loss […]

On the web, and especially in more privacy focused circles, there is a lot of talk of centralization, or the opposite. You get a lot of people arguing the internet is fundamentally broken by being centralized and therefore suggest alternatives like the InterPlantery FileSystem (IPFS). While this efforts are great and commendable, what exactly is […]

In the android community, and more so in the more privacy focused parts of it, there is often talk of “de-googling” or going full-on FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) only route. These people often refuse to use software written by or supported by bigger companies, and instead prefer to only use software or apps […]

It’s finally here, the new module to theme both fonts and Emojis in a simple use format. After the stoppage of Fontchanger, many people were left without an easy all in one fonts and Emojis solution.

I hear quite a bit of argument between linux users about which linux distros (distributions of linux or GNU/Linux) are “best”. Some swear by fedora for it’s backing and ease of use. Some swear by gentoo because of its configurability. Some swear by arch linux because of its lightweight and KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) […]

I’ve used pretty much every popular web server out there. Apache 1, Apache 2, nginx, and most recently OpenLiteSpeed, and currently Caddy v2. Why do I choose caddy? Certainly it’s less popular and some would argue less capable than say nginx or apache2. First, and this is a big one: easy configuration. If you choose […]
