was there an article linked at first?

weird, i don’t think there was one when i was writing from my phone lol.

just go to https://z-lib.gs/ . idk wdym by “why”…

Is the old rentry.co megathread being deprecated?

Damn its gone now… I really think we need to backup IA. Contents frequently disappear because of copyrights…

I like it, but I would prefer a local program to do this, or something like a userscript… ik firefox readermode does this but i use seamonkey and don’t have this kind of thing, so I only disable image and javascript (css when needed) which kinda gives me a broken layout

instagram aggressively bans all third party clients, so barinsta (android) and bibilogram (web frontend) has all stopped development.

sadly barinsta development stalled over a year ago and in my case I get banned every time I use the app and need to do weird captchas on the official site.

Yeah, but I’m wanting to only connect to ‘root DNS’ servers (is that the right term?) instead of servers like NextDNS or Cloudflare. Anyway, my configuration is working now, I should probably document them later…

You’re partially right about self hosting, but it still strips out the user tracking scripts and only provides the pure results, and you can make SearXNG route to Tor…

10 years ago I ran a Debian chroot inside my Android after rooting and that still works, no need to run a KVM (mostly).

Seriously no reason to use it over win10 enterprise iot ltsc 21h2 other than the cpu scheduler in intel 13th gen

which channel/server is active and good for this sorta stuff?

That’s really cool, I’m just curious but where do you live?

I’m a Slackware user, it does what I need without interfering and I can customize everything to my needs, no need to be forced to use systemd dbus pulseaudio and all those stuff.

The one I know about1 is the data being sent every 24 hours with a unique ID that they use to count active users. I’m not sure, I mostly do trust they won’t do anything weird with this and use Vivaldi sometimes, I guess it’s up to you to decide if you want to continue using.

I usually analyze apps using apktool (some are obvious), and install on the phone and block the app’s internet connection. Not sure how it works for your device but I’m able to block it in Settings on LineageOS 18.1.

IRC is what works for me, but others don’t seem to be, mainly due to inline image previews and easy attachments…

Vivaldi is decent IMO but there are some telemetry some might find distracting. BTW, are you using Windows? What do you mean there’s no easy way to update Ungoogled Chromium?

Get it from F-Droid, I’m personally using Newpipe with Sponsorblock and it’s great.
