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…

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…

I started by using Jerboa but switched to Thunder and am loving it.

Jerboa was great too but it had some weird issues (like default homepage wouldn’t apply, no matter what I selected as the default in settings it would default to local).

I wish thunder let me have vote/reply buttons instead of swipe gestures but it’s not too bad.

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
