If you use 9.9.9.9, you should try Mullvad DNS (with adblocking) or AdGuard Public DNS

I prefer Tailscale Funnel for these kinds of things. NetBird and ZeroTier also work just fine if you don't want to expose your services to the public.

Let’s not forget the dozens of big tech companies run by absolute morons that bring products that nobody wants or needs and only stay afloat due to legacy, stealing data & selling it, and/or venture capital.

You just described Twitter/X

God damn, just use LibreTube. It has a sleep timer, as well as many other advantages: No ads, no tracking, it uses the Piped API so you don't have to connect to Google servers, and it's fully open source and available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.libretube/

They're also on Mastodon and they even have a Lemmy community: !libretube

It works pretty well for me. I don't have any problems on piped.video, piped.adminforge.de and piped.ngn.tf

You can also just disable the Piped proxy in the settings, effectively making it function like NewPipe

You can also disable the Piped proxy at Settings -> Instance -> Disable Piped proxy

@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yeah, as far as I'm aware, it just runs a copy of the NewPipeExtractor locally, that's the same stuff that's used in the Piped backend.

Another reason to use Linux

@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Couldn't you do that in a VM with GPU passthrough? I use that approach for all kinds of stuff, including Gaming (with Looking Glass and SSD passthrough)

Also, some Photoshop version from 2021 runs pretty well in Wine: https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

UpperBroccoli is right

@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes, it's actually planned for the next major Lemmy release. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2631
As you can see, this issue was added to the 0.20.0 milestone on GitHub.

I wouldn't go to Yandex directly, just enable it in SearXNG

It also has an option to search 1337x, The Pirate Bay, SolidTorrents and other sites directly

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, because it's actually true. Google is the only Android phone manufacturer at the moment, that delivers 7 years of OS security updates + firmware updates, allows the user to unlock the bootloader and re-lock it with custom signing keys to retain full Android Verified Boot. And the ARMv9 MTE is the cherry on top.

A modern Pixel with GrapheneOS is the best thing you can get right now for privacy, security and longevity.

@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I just need all of this AI assistant shit to go away.

GrapheneOS doesn't have any of this BS.
Despite what some people (who never used GOS and have idea how it works) say, everything except for Google Pay and a small portion of banking apps works just fine on it. You can check if your bank's app is supported: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/
If you need Google Play services, you can easily install them, and it will still be more private than on a standard Android device, thanks to a custom sandboxing mechanism.
Security is just phenomenal, and I think it's fair to call GrapheneOS the most secure mobile operating system out there.
It also enhances the longevity of your phone, because GrapheneOS provides feature updates as long as Google provides security updates. Some devices with the Stock OS (like e.g. the Pixel 6a) receive security updates for 5 years, but Google only provides feature updates for 3 years. GrapheneOS extends that period to 5 years as well.
It's also super easy to install, and it's fully free & open source. It is truly amazing. I recommend watching this video to learn more about it: https://invidious.fi/watch?v=yTeAFoQnQPo

You can download individual books through IPFS, but not a collection of their entire dataset

I don't recommend Debian for Apple Silicon, just stick with Asahi Linux. There aren't any big issues, except the fact that not all Docker images are built for arm64.

I use self-hosted draw.io together with the Draw.io Nextcloud integration for a diagram, and Wiki.js to write down some important information. If you prefer something lighter, check out DokuWiki. There are many other options for a Wiki like Bookstack or django-wiki.

Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?

Backups. If you follow the 3-2-1 backup strategy, you don't have to worry about anything.

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yeah, that's exactly what the 3-2-1 rule says.

  • 3 copies of your data
  • 2 different kinds of storage media
  • 1 off-site backup

Same, but you can always use Trocador to convert your XMR to other coins. Alternatively there are some ways to anonymously acquire BTC.

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It's not perfect, there are some conversion fees, but it should be ok. I use it from time to time to pay for my seedbox.

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

RapidSeedbox they accept multiple crypto currencies but unfortunately no XMR, so I had to use Trocador to convert to BTC.

I also recommend SCEE, a more advanced version of StreetComplete, and Vespucci, another very powerful application for submitting OSM entries.

You might want to check out InnerTune or RiMusic for YTMusic, they are open source and don't spy on you, unlike Google's proprietary garbage

Tubular is better, it has SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike integration

Damn I seem to have pasted the RYD link twice, now it's fixed

It was released with the 2024053100 build, so not even a month ago.

I've been using TubeSync, but I switched to Tube Archivist. Works very well, I'm happy with it.

@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Perhaps NetBird, ZeroTier or Tailscale? If you want to make a service available publicly, check out Tailscale Funnel.

Selfhosted alternatives to Goodreads?

So I finally broke down and made a very poor purchasing decision and ordered an e-ink writer to be a notepad/e-reader hybrid. Partially so that it is less of a hassle to read books I got from kickstarters and the like while still using the kindle app for the disturbing amounts of money I throw at Amazon....

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

But it can't be self-hosted, right?

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

According to the roadmap, the project will get open-sourced before the end of 2024, so there is some hope.
https://roadmap.hardcover.app/feature-requests/posts/allow-open-source

I hope they implement ActivityPub, so it can federate with BookWyrm

Both Piped and Invidious have CC, but unfortunately no queue support.
