Yes. The NewPipe x SponsorBlock repo is archived and there's a message in the README saying:

Development Has Stopped

This fork is old and no longer maintained. See Tubular, a new fork of NewPipe.

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

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.

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

Tubular is a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike integration. LibreTube is another great option, which uses the Piped backend. They also have a Lemmy community, and you can check them out on Mastodon: https://fosstodon.org/@libretube

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

Privacy hosting alternatives to njal.la

I'm looking for alternative dedicated server hosts / VPS that go in the same direction as the policies that njal.la and which has a history of not sharing data during legal requests to host a torrent tracker. I'd like to know if there are any alternatives! Thanks :)...

That's why they are funding and supporting far-right parties in almost any Western country. The AfD in Germany is a good example, their MPs were literally caught receiving money from the Russians. Their MEPs also work for the Chinese intelligence service btw

Networking Gear Recommendations? (starting from scratch)

Hi, I hope its appropriate to ask this here, considering this is the most active community closest to this topic (Networking). I am moving places shortly and will need to start from scratch will all networking equipment. Including router and wifi-extenders. Am wondering what the general consencus is around networking gear, what...

I recommend building your own router. It might sound complicated but it's not. Just grab any low-power x86 mini PC that has 2 network controllers, put an open-source router/firewall OS like OPNsense or pfSense on it and you're ready to go. (Check out this video for pfSense and this one for OPNsense) Protectli offers specialized devices that are designed to run OPNsense/pfSense. They also support coreboot, a free and open source BIOS implementation. You can also go with something Linux-based like OpenWrt, but I'm very happy with my BSD-based OPNsense firewall. I use a Star Labs Byte with OPNsense, a fanless mini PC that runs coreboot, designed by a UK-based, Linux-focused company called Star Labs. Before that, I used to use a Fujitsu thin client with OpenWrt, inspired by this video.

It's not cheap, but this setup doesn't just serve as a router. It's also a dedicated hardware firewall solution, with the capacity to handle big and fast networks (I'm speaking hundrets of clients and technically it could even do 40+ Gbps over an SFP fiber-optic connection.) It also lets me monitor my network and filter connections. I use Telegraf, InfluxDB and Grafana to get a nice visual overview of my local network, as well as all the inbound and outbound connections. I can even see the location of the servers I connect to through MaxMind GeoIP in my Grafana dashboard. I also use Sensei (I think it's called Zenarmor now) for advanced filtering, and I use ClamAV with TLS interception to scan for malware. I could also run a DNS server through Unbound or Pi-Hole, but I prefer to do that on a separate device. OPNsense is a very powerful piece of software, and the StarLabs Byte is a suitable device to run it. For me it's very important to have a free BIOS firmware implementation like coreboot on a security-critical device like my firewall.

I've decided to switch to Linux Mint, but i have a lot of pirated games. How to play them with all the cracks and stuff in linux?

I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don't use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I'm switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100%...

The app is great. Also great that it's FOSS and available on Accrescent. But the name and the icon are (in my opinion) absolutely terrible.

Anyone ever removed stock launcher with ADB before?

I don't think adb would let you remove it, unless you have root. But you can try it out in Android Studio's Emulator, it essentially provides you with with an Android VM on your PC. You can access it straight from adb, and it doesn't matter if you break something, as you can simply create a new virtual device.

Plug-in systems are built around a microinverter that feeds solar energy back into the home via a standard wall jack.

What the actual fuck?

What's wrong with that? That's how basically any balcony solar system works.

But now some genius doesn’t read the fine print and hooks up 2 or 3 on the same circuit. There is no electrician that tells him that’s dangerous because it’s all self installed and he doesn’t know any better. And all of a sudden you are up to 26.5A and you got glowing, smoking wires in your walls…

Ok sure, that makes sense. This might actually be an issue.

Maybe try some more troubleshooting on GrapheneOS? Also, I'm sure that the folks in the GrapheneOS Matrix channel are ready to help you out. You should be able to get Android Auto to work somehow.

Regarding AFWall+, do you actually need it? GrapheneOS has a built-in firewall, doesn't that work well enough for you? And can't you use something like NextDNS instead of AdAway? Also, the Graphene folks might be able to help troubleshoot the AdAway problem.

If you are going to switch to another OS, I recommend DivestOS. It's the only thing that even comes close to Graphene in terms of security. It's based on LineageOS, but has some significant security improvements, and for example allows for bootloader relocking. It's the only other OS recommended by the Graphene devs.

Now that DuckDuckGo is out. Give me your search prompts and I'll answer them as best I can. That includes images (based on what I have saved on my PC). So what is it you wish to know or see?

Edit: Due to popular demand FatTony Search servers are down for the time being. but has gone open source just in time (Yes that's how it works 😡) . You may now get responses from other users. Servers will be back up some time later.
