I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org (jeena.net)

I couldn’t find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can’t really be, it’s only 29 years old....

hexagonwin,

Damn its gone now… I really think we need to backup IA. Contents frequently disappear because of copyrights…

hexagonwin,

I like it, but I would prefer a local program to do this, or something like a userscript… ik firefox readermode does this but i use seamonkey and don’t have this kind of thing, so I only disable image and javascript (css when needed) which kinda gives me a broken layout

hexagonwin,

A Nokia N900 with modern specs and capacitive touchscreen.

hexagonwin,

Maybe a Palm Pilot would do :p

hexagonwin,

The PinePhone is a bit similar, a hackable linux phone but it appears to be much less daily usable and doesn’t have the awesome slider keyboard…

hexagonwin,

Those tend to add weird noise to the sound though…

hexagonwin,

sadly barinsta development stalled over a year ago and in my case I get banned every time I use the app and need to do weird captchas on the official site.

hexagonwin,

instagram aggressively bans all third party clients, so barinsta (android) and bibilogram (web frontend) has all stopped development.

[Question] Unbound and AdGuard Home with OpenWrt?

Hello. I just upgraded my ramips router (ipTIME A3004NS-dual, 256mb ram, 64GB USB) to OpenWrt 23.05, so far it’s working well. I’d like some extra privacy (my country is known to do some internet censoring) and filter connections to sites I do not want (advertisements, telemetry) and AdGuard Home paired with Unbound seems...

hexagonwin,

Yeah, but I’m wanting to only connect to ‘root DNS’ servers (is that the right term?) instead of servers like NextDNS or Cloudflare. Anyway, my configuration is working now, I should probably document them later…

The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?

Wait, what?

Think about it. At some point everyone has had an old phone lying around. They are designed to be constantly connected, constantly on... and even have a battery and potentially still a SIM card to survive power outages.

We just need to make it easy to create APK packaged servers that can avoid battery-optimization kills and automatically configure an outbound tunnel like ngrok, zerotrust, etc...

The goal: hosting services like , , !? should be as easy as installing an APK and leaving an old phone connected to a spare charger / outlet.

It would be tempting to have an optimized ROM, but if self-hosting is meant to become more commonplace, installing an APK should be all that's needed. can do SSH, VPN and other tunnels without the need for root, so there should be no problem in using tunnels to publicly expose a phone/server in a secure manner.

In regards to the suitability of home-grade broadband, I believe that it should not be a huge problem at least in Europe where home connections are most often unmetered: "At the end of June 2021, 70.2% of EU homes were passed by either FTTP or cable DOCSIS
3.1 networks, i.e. those technologies currently capable of supporting gigabit speeds."

PS. syncthing actually already has an APK and is easy to use. Although I had to sort out some battery optimization stuff, it's a good example of what should become much more commonplace.

hexagonwin,

10 years ago I ran a Debian chroot inside my Android after rooting and that still works, no need to run a KVM (mostly).

[seeking solution] self hosted search engine

My latest Google search replacement recently made a decision that basically forces me to turn off ad block in order to click results. I was wondering if there was any self hosted solution that is fairly easy to deploy in TrueNAS scale or if it is even worth doing. Bonus points if it’s federated somehow. I’ll deal with bad...

hexagonwin,

You’re partially right about self hosting, but it still strips out the user tracking scripts and only provides the pure results, and you can make SearXNG route to Tor…

Since Brave is apparently absolutely terrible, is Vivaldi any better?

I daily drive Firefox, but more and more websites are starting to break without Chromium, so I still have to occasionally switch to get something working. I was using Ungoogled Chromium until I realized that there was no easy way to update it when that pixel-stealing exploit came out a while back....

hexagonwin,

Vivaldi is decent IMO but there are some telemetry some might find distracting. BTW, are you using Windows? What do you mean there’s no easy way to update Ungoogled Chromium?

hexagonwin,

I usually analyze apps using apktool (some are obvious), and install on the phone and block the app’s internet connection. Not sure how it works for your device but I’m able to block it in Settings on LineageOS 18.1.

hexagonwin,

Yeah, Newpipe is a lot better option.

hexagonwin,

Get it from F-Droid, I’m personally using Newpipe with Sponsorblock and it’s great.

hexagonwin,

Not really though, more like if you need open source drivers. Nvidia cards with the proprietary driver work great on OSes like Illumos (solaris) or FreeBSD, Linux on X11 where no other card works properly.

hexagonwin,

I guess you should probably ask the admins at sh.itjust.works, there’s no such thing as a lemmy-wide policy.
