I still follow windows news because of family/friends but damn am I glad I switched to linux everytime I see some stupid mandatory bs Microsoft adds…

I usually just switch it from auto to 1080p or whatever is available and that fixes it 90% of the time, sometimes it takes a second or 2 to fix the quality though.

didn’t know libredirect could redirect to Freetube, I’ve just been having mine go to an Invidious Instance… I’ll have to look into this.

I’m a little confused, mine is setup in the same way you described I believe and accessing the subdomain without any additional port still forwards it correctly to the destination ip:port.

Hey that’s me!

One thing I noticed is I never updated the app icon customization section. You don’t need Asapticons/Icon mixer. Themepark has an option to add custom icons now!

I can also post my De-Bloater config (root only)/list of apps (that can be used to disable them via ADB) I’ve removed when I update the post in a bit.

I’m still on Fold3/OneUI 5.1 but apps should be similar.

Yeah, I have a quite aggressive pihole and a lot of the domains it says aren’t blocked are 100% blacklisted in pihole (and testing them gives an error message so they are blocked…)

Mull (Firefox) + uBlock + PiHole.

There’s not really an elegant way to do this because of HTTPS.

You can use a browser extension like Privacy Redirect to do this though (and/or set up SearXNG to do it however this will only redirect you from search results of Youtube.com on that SearXNG instance).

I use APKgrabber just because it automatically checks for all my installed apps but this seems like a better option if you spend the time to set it up.

I’ve got:
R720 w/ 2697v2s, 12 hdds Some Intel 2011 box w/ 2667v2s A custom AM5 server w/ 7700x, 8 hdds An old Cisco enterprise 48 port (&4 SFP+) switch It seems to hover ~800w.
I’m looking into replacing a lot of it especially the Intel server because it’s used for just pfSense.

Agreed, Thunder has been great. I just wish I could have vote/reply buttons on comments instead of only swipe gestures…

It can download FLAC through deezer. There’s a HiFi plan that supports FLAC on deezer.

It’s probably not the absolute highest quality possible but it’s still better than normal 128kbps MP3. (it also supports 320kbps MP3).

I believe the idea is that searx strips out tracking/data from the queries sent and recieved from engines.

There’s some info here

As for the browser tracking you, yes. It doesn’t matter what search engine you use on a browser like Chrome it can still track you.

If it’s on Deezer https://free-mp3-download.net is your friend.

SearX go brrr There’s even a tab for ′files′ which is all just torrents
