netchami,

It emphasizes that free refers to freedom, not price.

netchami,

Use Startpage if you need Google search results, it’s a meta search engine for Google that shows you the search results without exposing any information about you

netchami,

Disconnect that piece of shit from the internet and use a streaming box/stick or an HTPC.

netchami,

Super pro tip: Do the same for any device that does not absolutely need internet access. Don’t buy IoT garbage that needs to connect to some cloud server. Use local solutions like Jellyfin for media streaming, Navidrome for music, Home Assistant for home automation, etc.

There are so many other things you can self host, Nextcloud for your files, calendars, notes and other stuff, Immich or PhotoPrism for your photos, FreshRSS for news articles and other sources that support RSS feeds, Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home for DNS. Definitely check out !selfhosted.

netchami,

That’s great. It’s nice to see that there are other people who care about self-hosting. Any particular reason why you are still using Emby instead of Jellyfin?

netchami,

That probably won’t solve your issues, but I can tell you a little about my setup:

  • I use Navidrome for local Music streaming, it supports the Subsonic API so you will find a compatible client for it on every platform
  • I have an LG OLED “Smart” TV, but I never connect it to the network, instead I have an HTPC running Linux and Kodi that I use to access Jellyfin (that would solve your performance issue with the Jellyfin app on your “Smart” TV)

I really hope that your issues get solved soon, I wish you good guck

why does everyone hate material you?

So I switched to a pixel 7 from an iphone 10 xs a few months back, and I’ve absolutely loved it in comparison to the locked down nature of an iphone. So I think to look up material you on YouTube for fun, and decide to read the comments and found that people hated it. Quick googling led to me to find two reddit threads and an...

Pixels are great, and they become even better when you install GrapheneOS. It’s super easy and maybe takes 20 minutes, but it substantially improves your privacy and security. I switched from an iPhone to a Pixel running GrapheneOS and I don’t want to ever go back, the experience on Graphene has been great.

netchami,

I think Apple were the ones who started doing that

netchami,

Fuck Israel

netchami,

Other countries have to follow

netchami,

That’s why they called it “SteamOS”, not “Steam Linux”

netchami,
netchami,

It provides pretty good translations, but it’s not particularly good for privacy. Obviously it’s better than Google, but their privacy policy isn’t great.

netchami,

That’s cool, thanks!

netchami,

That’s great!

I use Proton Mail and archive all of my emails, no issues. I’m very happy with Proton.

netchami,

I really like their VPN, in fact, I put my entire home network behind Proton VPN. I also use Proton Calendar for shared calendars, for my personal stuff I use a self-hosted solution. Sometimes I upload something to Proton Drive. But probably the most useful Proton product (other than Mail) is SimpleLogin which you also get Premium access to when you subscribe to a paid Proton plan. It allows you to generate an unlimited amount of alias email addresses and all messages are forwarded to your inbox, it’s awesome, I love it.

netchami,

Another reason to switch to Signal if you don’t already use it.

netchami,

Signal is finally delivering the stuff we have all been waiting for. First, they implemented post quantum cryptography in the protocol in September, then we got message editing, and now we will finally get usernames. Awesome!

netchami,

No one should be using their Chinese spyware OS anyway.

netchami,

Signal had that feature for like a decade. No one should be using WhatsApp or any Facebook products anyway.

netchami,

The Pixel 8 is a great hardware choice, but I recommend installing GrapheneOS which massively improves your privacy and security. It’s super easy and doesn’t have major downsides. I recommend this video: youtube.com/watch?v=yTeAFoQnQPo

Switching to Android: good resources for learning?

I’m planning to get a Pixel 8 this month after using only iPhones since my first iPhone in ~2010. I used to be a big Apple fan, so I have a good understanding of iOS, good iOS apps, etc, from years of Apple blogs, podcasts, etc. I have nowhere near the same level of understanding of Android. For instance, I was just watching a...

The best thing about Android and Google Pixel phones is the fact that you can remove all Google spyware. Check out GrapheneOS, it’s probably the only version of Android that offers the same level of security as an iPhone while not compromising on privacy. It also gives you the opportunity to learn a lot about Android and how it works. I recommend you to read through their documentation on the website, I find it interesting and fascinating. If you prefer a video, I recommend this one.

netchami,

They had GTA V for free at some point

netchami,

It’s literally Chinese government spyware

Use GrapheneOS and avoid tracking and data collection of any kind, free yourself from Google and other Big Tech companies and use open source software to guarantee your personal privacy and security.

netchami,

wtf

netchami,

Don’t use Bromite, it’s unmaintained and insecure. If you like Bromite, use Cromite instead. IMO the best browser on Android is Mull. Also, Cromite is spelled without an ‘h’.

netchami,

You wouldn’t download a car.

netchami,

They offer iOS apps for Proton Mail, Drive, Calendar and VPN

netchami,

A great resource that I’d recommend to anyone is Privacy Guides

netchami,

Nowadays privacytools.io has some really questionable recommendations. Check out Privacy Guides instead.

netchami,

Who in their right mind would do that? Oh, right, the Lemmy.world guys are fucking morons. They also blocked !piracy a few months ago, for no real reason.

netchami,

Why is the UK turning into a fucking dictatorship

netchami,

Damn. It’s always those stupid conservatives who ruin everything on this planet

netchami,

Dumb people will always exist

netchami,

I agree

netchami,

Pixel 6a

Graphene gang

netchami,

Perhaps you could research running a VM

It works very well, especially if you pass through your GPU and storage. I can even use this setup for Gaming, no significant performance loss compared to Windows. It’s awesome.

netchami,

Definitely Tailscale

netchami,

Ok, that sucks

netchami,

I think you mean LibRedirect? I use it too, but many people don’t and it’s just better to have Piped or Nitter links.

netchami,

You guys bookmark that stuff? Anyway, you can create a separate profile in your browser for that.

netchami,

Freedom > Performance

Also, no one should be using outdated, unpatched, insecure Android 7

What VPN do you use and why?

If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don’t find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name....

netchami,

That’s great! All parts of the network are important.

netchami,

They recently removed it, I recommend AirVPN if you need port forwarding.

netchami,

That’s why I isolate my financial stuff from everything else, separate device with a separate browser, separate dedicated IP address, etc.

netchami,

Some general things: Both Tmux and Neovim have such broad plugin ecosystems, helix and zellij don’t even come close.

For zellij specifically: I don’t like the UI, it’s just way too much stuff on the screen, it’s distracting. Tmux tries to stay out of the way and only displays something if it’s absolutely necessary. You can also configure everything yourself.

Regarding helix: As a long time Vim/Emacs-evil user I just can’t get used to stuff like Kakoune or Helix, it just feels weird.
