You could redirect invidious to free tube

I kinda love this aside from it being unusable

Typical multiplayer enjoyer

This is what I think: You cannot be 100% private, but you can be 95% private. Most of the tracking I want to avoid is from websites, mail and my devices OS.

With ublock origin in advanced mode, thunderbird + Protonmail, Linux (I’m dual booting and also have a windows VM for the things not working on Linux) and a VPN I can reach a satisfying amount of privacy without wasting too much time and effort. I’m also hosting an unfederated matrix server for private communications but I rarely use it.

To have better privacy than this I’d need a lot more effort, but the return wouldn’t be big enough, so I’m good. The only other thing I’d like to do is switching to a phone with grapheneOS or something like that.

You got it almost right, the game “west of loathing” does have a bread-based class if I remember correctly

You can use the advanced mode of ublock to replace noscript too

1. You can call it “Java” to enrage other programmers
2. You can compare numbers against strings without wasting time converting them

It’s an extra layer of security. Your nextcloud instance won’t be reachable from anybody who isn’t on your vpn, if a bug which allows unauthorized access gets discovered you will be protected, if they steal your nextcloud credentials you will be protected, but if you’re on a device without the vpn you won’t be able to access nextcloud. As for the domain you can buy a random xyz for a couple of bucks per year so just do it

As the others have said, a Google (search engine) replacement will have the most “privacy returns”. Take a look at whoogle and searx, or if you can mak them switch to another search engine like duckduckgo

I don’t use them for on/off but to set the intensity, I guess I could get one of those manual sliders…

Damn I really needed systemd analyzer to debug stuff! Thanks!

That’s England so no gdpr anyway

Inkplate offers some esp32 powered eink solutions, and someone built an eReader software for it, should be this one

https://github.com/turgu1/EPub-InkPlate

But I have no idea how good it is. If you want to use it offline I suppose you could get any eReader that supports loading stuff via USB, You can manage a kindle library with calibre and turn off wifi after the first setup, for example.

Couple of weeks ago I wanted to change the intensity of the light bulb. I open the hue app and it tells me to download the new app, not allowing me to do anything else. I install the new app and it asks me to register… I still have my bulb at full light :D I’ll either find a compatible open source app or a light bulb that respect my privacy, I got a couple of tplink ones which were cheap and seems to work ok

You can use ublock in advanced mode and replace noscript I think

This is just my personal list

• Ublock origin in advanced mode to block js like matrix did (or in basic mode on mobile/if you don’t want to waste time fixing broke websites)
• Decentraleyes to avoid loading libraries
• Cookies autodelete to you guess it
• Consent O Matic to auto consent gdpr banners
• Link cleaner to clean copied urls from tracking queries
• Redirector to redirect famous websites to their alternative front-ends (YouTube to piped etc)

I am testing Lapce and I can see it as an alternative in the future
