might be your smartphone browser/system is using some kind of proxy. this could explain that you are able to ping, but the browser shows access denied. if no log entries are generated on the server when trying to access it via browser, it has to be something on client side or inbetween. on grapheneOS check: Settings - Network and Internet - Internet - Wifi-Settings - choose edit at top right - then advanced. If proxy is not set to none, change it and test again.

If this still doesn't help, my last bet is some kind of duplicate IP

You are talking about Limux which started 2 decades ago, but there are other initiatives to enforce oss software in german government.

I think very few people mind changing it

I doubt that. Do you know how many system configurations depend on these keywords? Do you have any idea how many hours of work and system outages this would cause?

Change my mind: two hours of my work is more expensive than all these half defunct cables from 10 years ago. Just throw em away and buy them new when needed. You will only need one or two of them anyway. No more sticky, broken cables, no more cable sorting, no more wasted time and no wasted space.

LPT: intertangeling only happens when cables are looped. Just put them together linke you would crumble a piece of paper and put them in your bottles. No more intertangeling

Occams razor applies here too, your theory sounds spot on

Its not about being better, its about privacy and freedom. Without Opensource and Linux that were defended by people that understood the impact and importance of freedom in the past, we wouldn't be today were we are now.

Look at PC and Smartphones. Compare WhatsApp protocol to SMTP. Heck, imagine TCP/IP would have been invented and supported by microaoft only. Internet wouldn't exist.

I know and i still don't care. All the crapton privacy violations and vendor lockin we all have to deal with are a direct cause of the unwillingness of these people to value their own and others privacy.

That has a bad impact on me and many others. Thats way worse than sometimes beeing reminded that you are using a system that perpetuates these problems because you are lazy.

People line that are fucking all of us over with their carelessness but cry out loud if someone dares to suggest to try a system that doesn't want to steal all our data and rip us off?!

Wow, thats expensive, wasn't aware it got that expensive. I bought it for 5 bucks or so a few years ago.

To be honest, I would still pay, if I hadn't already, it's that good.

I second that! Been using it for ~4 years now and I so much prefer it to the old launchers. After installing it I completely stopped testing new launchers.

Does anyone still remember the old (2010) launcher called slide it. Unfortunatly it was discontinued and I have always been searching for an adequate replacement. In Niagara I have found it.

Anyway, back to why i like Niagara so much. With every other launcher the workflow is like this:

  • swipe up for menu
  • swipe 2-5 pages left or right till you reach your app
  • click your app icon

which takes ages and is tedious.

On Niagara I just swipe along the left or right edge until the letter my apps name is starting with appears and click the icon. That's it.

Having notifications beneath your favorite apps and an included media control app when audio is playing is superb. (I'm using the pro version). Calendar is aCalendar btw.

Best few bucks I have ever spend for some android app.
