Got a question, I just found out about LibreTube from this post. I use NewPipe on phone and FreeTube on laptop, but LibreTube’s UI looks really good so want to give it a try. Is “YouTube will know your IP” a concern in terms of privacy or because of something else related to them know your IP is using apps that remove ads?
I’ve never been worried about YouTube knowing I use another app to access their stuff, so just curious if this is “just” about Google knowing you IP or something more.
I know this is the privacy community and don’t want to downplay the “Google knowing your IP” part but curious about this and being so explicit on the app setting as well when you turn it on
Thanks for all the info, really good to know that’s a potential consequence of using these apps, I know they sometimes make multiple requests per video in parallel but naively I never gave it a second thought as potential consequences of that.
I’m not necessarily new to this, I’m trying to degoogle little by little. Ever since I started using home assistant I started thinking more and more about self hosting. I think their add-ons are a great way for the unexperienced user to easily start learning about self hosting small things (password manager, personal notes and wiki, etc).
I’d say it depends on the types of games you probably play? Maybe?
Have the 64Gb one with a 256Gb SDcard, and been perfect for the games I play (hades, stardew valley, emudeck also quite good), I know it’d probably be faster with an SSD but not looking to invest the time or money to upgrade just yet. Really happy with it
The only game so far I’ve definitely noticed slow load times was star wars jedi fallen order, that was the most resource demanding game I’ve played on the deck. Sometimes took like 30secs to load the game or respawn, but after that the whole game was quite normal.
Always found it weird that Spain has the same time as Poland… On the other side of Europe.
The interesting thing to me is, from what I know, they’ve seem to have just “adapted” to do everything one hour later because of this. At least that’s what it looks like to me (from Portugal). For example, in Portugal you typically have lunch at 13:00, in Spain it’s at 14:00 (same time), same thing with dinner. So even though they’re one hour later they still do things at the same time as before.
Any Spaniards here please correct me if I’m wrong, I’d love to know if my perception of this is right or not
Always liked this because it helps people see to some extent where money is going.
I know the UK and Portugal do this as well. It was especially interesting in the UK during the Brexit years because you could see a tiny piece of that pie chart with EU contributions, almost saying “this is how little of our money is going to Europe”, didn’t do any good in the end but hey, still great info to have that all detailed

TIL that France and Spain are in the wrong time zone because of Nazis.
France was put on to German time when conquered by Nazi Germany....
