  • i’m so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.

    It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It’s also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.

    I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I’m sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi’s legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.











  • Torch Browser is not open source, and it still is based on chromium. It’s the worst browser combination possible.

    Falkon is pretty cool! I prefer using qutebrowser if it’s gonna use QtWebEngine anyway. It is slower and less featureful than the main browsers, though. If you don’t mind it, I’d say go for it!

    I didn’t know about Dot Browser, but it looks… unfinished? It’s based on Firefox, so that’s cool. But it seems someone would be better off just using something like LibreWolf (or Tor if you actually want some privacy).





  • - yes*

    - yes, that is completely your choice

    - yes, though you could take a look at “wake on LAN”

    - yes, as much as your server can handle

    - I don’t think so

    * it’s totally possible setting up a server on Windows (depending on which version of Windows), but I must recommend using Linux, as that would be way easier to setup and maintain, and probably will be faster overall

    that seems a lot like my situation (though I’m just a student :P). awesome to see someone trying to self-host FOSS. best of luck to you!
