Dust0741,

Hmm interesting. Maybe I’ll have to do more testing.

Dust0741,

Alright, is there any way to have it only select new photos? I.e. I turn on syncing, and every photo after this point in time is uploaded. Or do I have to upload them all. FYI there is ~200GB of photos/videos on the phone

Dust0741,

I’ve got a $50 USD 6500T with 25+ docker containers including jellyfin and it is amazing. It isn’t the drive space you want but pure cli Linux is very lightweight.

Dust0741,

No, every version of Minecraft except PlayStation allows connecting to external servers.

Dust0741,

It is bridged as you described by default. The issue is the switch cannot install a VPN client.

Dust0741,

Huh very cool. I’m going to have to try this

Dust0741,

Is there a nice up to date list of companies like this that have clearly little desire to improve security or are just very anti consumer?

Dust0741,

Cool. My rule of thumb of only buying products that either are open source or can have open source firmware and software is sticking.

Dust0741,

Grapheneos can be used almost identically to stock android. You can install google apps and use them or not. The biggest piece of it is the options.

There is no account associated to GOS. You can login to an existing google account etc, just like any android.

GOS has messages for SMS only. It had a Gallery app for photos and a files app for system files. There aren’t many apps it comes with, so getting alternative apps is easy. Mostly via Fdroid (or droidify for a more modern looking app). For a better photos app, I recommend “Aves” For a drive app, a private option would be proton drive. Notes app can be anything you want, but GOS doesn’t come with one. If you want to use google notes you can. I wouldn’t recommend it, but you can. There are lots on Fdroid to choose from.

As for cloud sync, GOS doesn’t do this, but again, you can use any other service you’d normally use to sync. I use Syncthing to sync a folder on my phone to a folder on my PC. That way I can have things like my photos easily on desktop and have backups.

As for app stores, GOS doesn’t recommend Aurora because they don’t sign the apps the provide, but I use it anyways, as it is the best way to get apps without a google account.

You definitely don’t need your own Nextcloud or Homelab. I prefer paying for hardware I own instead of cloud things, but both have good positives.

Also, your questions aren’t stupid their great! You’re just learning about this stuff that that’s amazing. Keep learning.

No adblocker built in, but Rethink DNS is a great app that will set up a local VPN and do firewall filtering and DNS filtering. There are other apps too and they should all work on any OS.

Personally I self host a VPN and pihole and stay connected to that

Dust0741,

As I mentioned I have a server, and I use a VPN to connect always to it. This makes using a paid VPN a bit harder. The dedicated VPN IP should fix this issue but I haven’t looked into how difficult that’d be.

Dust0741,

Very similar yes. Trackmenot but for any site not just search engines. Although it may be a good option too

Dust0741,

Yea. My issue now is finding a list of these sites

Dust0741,

That’s a good idea.

Probably just a shell script. Someone mentioned using curl so that’d be pretty easy

Dust0741, (edited )

Little curl shell script that works:


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Random_Curl_Request.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># CSV file containing websites
</span><span style="color:#323232;">CSV_FILE="/home/user/Documents/randomSiteVisitor/websites.csv"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Get a random line from the CSV file
</span><span style="color:#323232;">RANDOM_LINE=$(shuf -n 1 "$CSV_FILE")
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Extract the website URL from the random line
</span><span style="color:#323232;">WEBSITE=$(echo $RANDOM_LINE | cut -d ',' -f 1)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Make a curl request to the random website every minute
</span><span style="color:#323232;">while true; do
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    curl $WEBSITE
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    sleep 60
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    # Get a new random line from the CSV file
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    RANDOM_LINE=$(shuf -n 1 "$CSV_FILE")
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    # Extract the website URL from the new random line
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    NEW_WEBSITE=$(echo $RANDOM_LINE | cut -d ',' -f 1)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    # Update the website URL for the next iteration
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    WEBSITE=$NEW_WEBSITE
</span><span style="color:#323232;">done
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>
Dust0741,

We don’t do the piracy Mr FBI

Dust0741,

If I remember CYT does better on Fennic than Mull.

Dust0741,

Hot take: going from biggest to smallest unit is best
