Tier1BuildABear, in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

ADBLOCK YOUR DNS. Seriously surprised how many free users see ads with sync lol, how do you guys live with so many ads on your phone

blazeknave,

I have adblock on my phone. Need to setup pihole again.

allroy,

not an app. you’ve got your dns set to use dns.adguard.com?

MashedTech,

I pay for the services and apps I care for and I still want to be up, developers need to eat and for the huge corporate bullshit I don’t give a shit about I have adblockers such as DNS66.

Tier1BuildABear,
@Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world avatar

I need to eat too, and I don’t like ads lmao. Maybe the premium version should be worth buying.

Pistcow, in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

I bought Reddit Sync years ago and loved it until Reddit shit itself. Had no issues paying for Lemme Sync. Lemme seemed to lost gas recently and I miss the size off the community Reddit has.

MashedTech,

Yeah, I miss the size of the reddit community too. But, I found a silver lining with Lemmy’s community, I still get my fix but since it’s not that big it forced me to reduce my intake and now I’m less addicted and used to just opening the “reddit” app as I used to. But also one thing I found useful is to browse the “top six hours” in everything tab.

Pistcow,

Same here. Towards the end I was on reddit way too much. Lemmy, I check maybe 5 or so times a day and have a better balance.

Nah, Jerboa is great, donate to the project instead, or to your local instance.

TonyOstrich,

I have always said if I could re-roll my stats I would trade whatever amount of intelligence I supposedly have to be dumb as a box of fucking rocks with a ludicrous amount of charisma.

@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

You could do the job with less, but you’d grumble about it.

I think the shower in my current house is luxurious because it’s large enough that I can turn around without knocking things off the shower caddy.

spaduf, in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

Haven’t seen anybody suggest thunder yet but it’s a top notch app.

Rukmer, in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

I use the free version and it’s fine and free?

trolololol,

Same thoughts, free is cheap enough

Tier1BuildABear,

Also, adblock on your DNS and I can’t even tell I’m on the free version! Never seen an ad

Rukmer,

Oh yeah, I forgot it even had ads because we have a pi hole.

Toes, (edited ) in When you AirPlay a show you're streaming to your TV, does the site send it to your Mac's VPN IP or do they get your own IP from the receiving device?

A quick skim of this tells me it’s a bit more complicated than one or the other. nto.github.io/AirPlay

It would appear to me that if you’re doing a traditional casting of the video it’ll not use your VPN. As it just passes through the information needed for the device to fetch the video. Unless everything is configured to use the VPN*

cheese_greater,

Whats the cheapest and most facile way to get AppleTV to run through VPN? Can I get something in-between router and device that enforces everything thru it?

So sick of Appls bullshit, fuck

thefactremains, (edited )

You need a DNS proxy. They work perfectly fine for changing streaming location on AppleTV.

Here’s a good one

Toes,

The cheapest option would be to see if your VPN provider has an app or workaround for the appletv to do this.

The more effective option would be to see if your router has a feature to use the VPN and if not use a router that does.

ArbiterXero,

Many “bettter” routers can do this, pfsense can do it.

The problem is that Apple TV may get removed from your local network, meaning you can’t air-play to it at all lol.

Unless your whole network is on the vpn.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Why would you need a VPN inside your local network?

cheese_greater,

Cuz if I wanna stream shit, I don’t want them to have my IP in case they ban it or they are selling that info

thefactremains, in When you AirPlay a show you're streaming to your TV, does the site send it to your Mac's VPN IP or do they get your own IP from the receiving device?

The site streams to the IP of the router then to the Mac and the Mac sends it over the Wi-Fi to the local IP address of the TV.

joyjoy,

If you do it through the app, like YouTube, it may have special code to connect directly to the TV and tell it to run in the app.

some_guy, (edited ) in When you AirPlay a show you're streaming to your TV, does the site send it to your Mac's VPN IP or do they get your own IP from the receiving device?

Edit: My bad. I was distracted and interpreted this as a local stream from a device in your home, like a Plex server. If you’re using a streaming service then Netflix or whoever sends through your vpn.

It’s local. Nothing is leaving your network. You would have to deliberately open a port on your router for it to get back in after going through the VPN. That’s how you can verify that it’s local.

cheese_greater,

So does the website get my ip address, sorry?

plenipotentprotogod, (edited ) in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

You might be interested in the pop-sci book Soonish: ten emerging technologies that’ll improve and/or ruin everything. I haven’t read it myself, but I’ve read the authors’ other book about space colonization, and it was excellent so I would expect this one to be as well.

Hadriscus,

Ah that’s Zach Weinersmith the author of SMBC, it has to be excellent. Haven’t read it but will put it on my list now
