It’s not OSS so I I’m not paying/supporting it financially. I don’t mind donating to a good ad-free (F)OSS client though.

Uses ads so I’ll pass

I really miss a good Lemmy mobile client though…I was using liftoff which reminded a lot of RIF, but that seems to have been abandoned completely. A lot have ads, so that’s a hard pass for me. I’m currently using Thunder, but it’s a pretty buggy mess TBH with a lot of UI oddities and bugs.

Sync has ads and isn’t open source, so that’s a big no thank you from me.

Filled with ads and not open source, so not for me.

RaspberryPi becoming unresponsive at random intervals

Issue Description: I have been having this issue with my raspberry pi running dietPi where it seems to lock up and I cannot SSH / access any of the services on it. The interesting part is that the interface seems to be up and I can still ping it on the local network but shows no video output. usually I get about 3-6 days before...

This is likely an issue with your SD card…Pi’s eat them up, even the good ones that supposedly can handle it get chewed up pretty quickly. It really sucks that they haven’t transitioned to emmc but insist on using SD cards.

I like to be in control of what gets closed and when, so nothing gets closed before I bookmark it if need it.

Yeah it’s a bit weird with FF, I just purge open tabs for unnecessary tabs daily.

DreadPotato,
@DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz avatar

What kind of psychopath has that many tabs open!?

DreadPotato,
@DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz avatar

So do I, for a few days. If I haven’t read it by then, I’ll either bookmark for later or just close. I pretty much never have more than 10-15 active tabs ever.

Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will...

What makes adguard home better than pihole? Genuinely curious, I’m running pihole now and have been for a couple of years without issues.

Seems like a GDPR nightmare waiting to happen for them

Insight on how the ADs network is built?

Does any of you know firsthand how the ad industry works? I hate them with all my heart and I already go out of my way to block them but maybe you have been on the other side of the fence and can share some internal insight on what to focus on to really disrupt the data collection. I.e. even if I use uBlock can the ad network...

I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot

I’m looking for a vacuum robot preferably under 500€ and with a cleaning station. My main concern is that most robot vacuum providers seem to need to be connected to the internet. Are there any providers that either don’t need that, where I can block the internet connection or any other way not getting a spy in my home?...

The thumbnail alone is reason to avoid the video entirely.

Obviously the committee in charge of this ordeal are cat-people…bunch of heartless psychopaths, just like their pets.

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

Hmm, my lineage OS phone passes basic integrity check, and my banking apps all work as intended, as do other government apps. But this damn 2FA app is still complaining and refuses to work, saying the phone is insecure.

I sometimes use stremio + torrentio and it works great. What does real debrid add to the setup?

Hide news websites that won't let you read the article without paying

Hello everyone, I’m tired of having to go bavk to my search results 4 timesnbecause eveyrtime that I search for a news article every single website I get on won’t let mr read it without either subscribing/logging in, how can I hidethese websites from the results OR How do you guys look up news articles, an app or smt?...

DreadPotato, (edited )
@DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz avatar

It may let you read some sites, but it has never worked for me. I constantly run in to paywalls despite using this.

@DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz avatar

Basically all the large national news sites where I live are unaffected by this filter. This article for example has a paywall when i visit.

issues with QbitTorrent stalled torrents

I am just getting back my sea legs, but apparently they’re pretty shaky because I can’t get my ubuntu torrent (no seriously, it is) to download. It never starts downloading and is stuck in “stalled”. I’ve tried a number of things, but even with default settings it isn’t starting. I’m using proton VPN on Linux Mint,...

No I’m using the paid tier of proton, and already using quad9 DNS and have DNS over https enabled.
