Okay, so it wasn't VNC, it was ssh stuff instead.

Similarly, there's System Admin Girl★まんがでわかるLinux シス管系女子 Imported a physical edition just for the quirky factor of a Linux Admin manga, but it is pretty well made and does explain pretty well some bits (even if from the first episode, they explain how to do VNC if i remember, from a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop, so fairly easy and old) but it still on-going !
- Desktop only (The phone app is somehow worse then the Discord app, see the Steam Chat rating).
- No bots or advanced moderation
- Steam restricted Are enough reason why it's usage has been limited. Still decent to use for a couple of people but lackluster to what Discord propose.
It doesn't make use of the games original Discord RPC integrations, and their more-in-depth game details that it can bring. See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Enabling-Discord-Rich-Presence or https://github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge for ways to fix it.
Strongly recommend it. It even automatically fetches icons for the games via SteamGridDB (Even if they could totally just fetch it from Steam). Ain't really a fix for games using Proton, however, or making sandboxed Discord versions to get those local RPC implementation, just an alternative and more efficient way to show what you play on Steam.
You could just also use your own VPS but i digress. It seems they plan on keeping their app proprietary with just the bridge tools to be able to be used with their app. (You could do use the individual matrix-bridges services however as an alternative but again, Beeper seems to be the only service that offer such hosting for direct usage)
Here's a full repo listing third-party stuff for Discord including clients.

Spoiler
None of them exist on Android. You have Discord clients mods like the recommended pre-react version, Aliucord which while outdated (But still working and supported by the project !) fix the slowness issues of the current version.
Vencord has a proof-of-concept WPA app too but it's still mostly just browsing the main website so it ain't ideal.
~~I would like to point out Beeper https://www.beeper.com/, which is Matrix based and aim to easily use their self-hosted (Or your self-hosted !) bridges to different services, including Discord ! Not ideal outside of small servers or just DM's however (but you can customize which synced servers you want in it).~~
It's a scraper. And, in theory, it shouldn't even cause any issues with ReVanced modified Youtube patches except if they need to be updated.
If you believe Google is the most reliable, you can still use it in a private way via :
- Startpage
Startpage is a private search engine known for serving Google and Bing search results. One of Startpage's unique features is the Anonymous View, which puts forth efforts to standardize user activity to make it more difficult to be uniquely identified. The feature can be useful for hiding some network and browser properties.
- SearxNG https://searxng.org/
SearXNG is an open-source, self-hostable, metasearch engine, aggregating the results of other search engines while not storing any information itself.
There's plenty of public instances too https://searx.space/
Get Google search results, but without any ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file.
Couple of public instances too. Basically SearxNG with ONLY google as a source. https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search#public-instances
Worthy actual open-source alternatives :
- YunoHost https://yunohost.org/ GPL3
- FreedomBox https://freedombox.org/ DFSG (Debian Project)
- Sandstorm https://sandstorm.org/ Apache V2
- CasaOS https://www.casaos.io/ Apache V2
- startOS https://start9.com/ MIT
- homelabOS https://homelabos.com/ MIT
However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It's the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.
Here's an actual FOSS cross-platform alternative with Windows, Mac and Linux (Need to be manually compiled and still experimental) https://screen-play.app https://gitlab.com/kelteseth/ScreenPlay
Speaking of doas, is there any advantage of using it when… sudo is still available to be used? I agree that most of the stuff we require to use doesn't need all the options sudo as, but if it is for the sake of security, maintenance, and stability… is there any reason to use doas ON TOP of the already setup sudo or su? In the past, I even tried to just apply a simple alias to replace sudo with doas, but numerous scripts and programs when trying to request explicit super-user permissions, just didn't know what to do with doas as expected, so this ain't it.
