See my reply in this thread to artyom, I assume that’s what you’re looking for?

Those hardware generators you mentioned have been around for at least 30 years. A TOTP app is just software that does the same thing as those hardware generators.

I’m aware, but you’re not getting the secret token that you’d need to put into your TOTP app. At least not that I know of. I also haven’t checked in a very long time if there are open source reimplementations of the photoTAN apps. They all got their own flavors, but it’s also just a slight variation on a theme (initialize app with qr-like secret, then scan a similar code as a challenge/response using that secret to generate token). Probably should check that at some point.

They aren’t forced to lock them down, or prescribe any app store afaik. That’s the banks that do. Some lock it down, some not at all. But you’ll need some form of 2 factor “photoTAN” app. Unfortunately, common 2fa codes aren’t used (or allowed), I think this legislation is actually older than them becoming common.

And that’s quite all, they also offer hardware token generators. Not sure if they are required to, but i think so. You do have to pay for them once (20 or 30 bucks maybe?). In reality, this is somewhat impractical for a variety of reasons…

That’s impossible in the EU, they all do by law.

I’ve been using TrackerControl, using basically the same idea and concept, and been very happy with it. Having app-level control over what gets blocked is very convenient.

The only downside to this approach is that you can’t use a real VPN anymore, as android only allows one at a time.

Keepass just uses a (local) file, but it expects and can handle if the file is modified externally. That’s important because it means you can store it on a network share, or in some sort of synchronized storage, self hosted or not (next cloud, sync thing, Google drive, whatever). It’s just up to you. If you have it open on your PC and you add an entry on your phone, your PC won’t “overwrite” it, but integrates any changes you’re making there at the same time.

For example the android client has direct support for a long list on storage services for this exact reason.

Basically OpenWRT is for dedicated, purpose built hardware, highly compact and essentially “embedded”. OPNSense is for running a (potentially much more capable) firewall on x86/x64 (even if it’s a small specimen like N100 or whatever). They fill a somewhat different role.

I can only assume that is the main reason for this change. Pitty.

Satisfactory with it’s 1.0 release yesterday. Just pure serenity.

Since you’re specifically looking to replace OneNote, you might want to take a look at BookStack. It has similar organizational concepts, and I think it’s FOSS.

Not trying to make the choice harder, but mailbox.org seems to fit into the choices as well (also hostesd in Germany). Also in terms of hosting in Switzerland, keep in mind that it’s not actually part of the EU, which is the primary/original source for many of the privacy laws you probably care about if you’re looking into these providers.

Of course they can interact with it just fine, look at “sponsorblock” plug-in. It would also solve this problem completely. It already exists and works well, it just isn’t “AI” nonsense.

Yup, it would be. But many people are, so they changed that it’s displayed at all by default.

Since the other comment didn’t Go into detail: Microsofts “Recall” will so that on every Windows 11 PC soon. Literally index everything you do or look at, OCR-ing periodic screenshots. Also storing them, possibly including sensitive information like this.
