They’re not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda “clump” together for the lack of a better word.

For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can’t find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.

Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.

Separated by a newline

You brilliant person got it in one! Love you 😘

Now I haven’t tested which of the line separated ones blocked it, but the wildcard *.lnk didn’t work when they were comma separated but do when line separated.

Again, 👌

No you don’t.

I can go to the corner shop/local garage right now, buy a SIM card for 99p and then buy a top-up voucher in cash to have a completely anonymous phone number.

Albeit is the UK in Europe again? 🙈

edit: where I would be worried if my privacy was on the line is I could also go to the local pawn shop / Cash Converters to ensure that SIM card isn’t associated with an IMEI I’ve previously used and buy in cash a cheapo phone.

How does your bot grab FLAC’s from Spotify?

A friend of mine said they don’t serve FLAC’s, and it also seems in our testing we broke @deezertogdrivebot and it’s getting rate limited?

Sorrynotsorry

I for one don’t find young people to be attractive

I’m curious where this statement came from since I don’t see any context other than you trying to call the OP names?

Could you expand please?

Aye, me too and like you say it’s hard to not defeat the point of one if you’re unplugging the bloody thing all the time.

The one I’ve got thou did come with three cables of different lengths and for a while I used the short 0.5m at work since I could just jam it in small cargo pants pocket, medium length stored in locker and the longer 3m one at home. Still unplugged the adapter and is now in a drawer…somewhere.

Saying this, they do have the bonus (including that 3.5mm button thing i have above) of making the device more water resistant 👀

Funny you mention that, I had the M7/8 like OP and also had one of those Dot Matrix cases for mine which gave you a second screen so to speak. You could even use custom apps with it.

Another thing I bought at the time was one of these for the headphone jack. Never really caught on thou :/

You don’t need to pay a subscription fee for cloud storage when it’s super simple to host your own, and Android allows the mounting of different filesystems too.

SMB on a rasp pi + cheapo storage + Tailscale, all the way to paying £$€ for a dedicated NAS enclosure with as much storage as you can afford also with Tailscale?

Yup, fuck subscription fees.

You also can then use the corporate cloud storage providers like G/ProtonDrive etc to use their free offerings for off site backup of the most important data.

Hey John.

I’m sorry, but we’ve had to remove this post and you’re better trying in the dedicated community over in !askandroid@lemdro.id

Cheers!

Messaging others is not “social media”, and you conflating that with using a messaging app is fairly telling.

I don’t intend to nor use iMessage.

And I’m conveying your blind spot which seems to be that you can’t function in this society without WhatsApp, which I’ve done since its inception.

And I’m sure I will perform equally well as yourself and others going into the future without it.

That’s the thing…I do understand your qualms about having to use them even if it irks you no end because you’re ‘now not a weirdo’, and having run establishments prior to these days I find it amusing that you’re now required to indulge in sharing your contact list because it’s the “norm”.

Which is awesome because I somehow manage to keep in touch with fellow friends, colleagues, family and even talking to others on platforms such as this without conglomerates poking my metadata too as much.

edit: too > as

And that’s why if I was self employed I’d use another phone entirely or promote the usage of some other way of contacting me/us. Never would I have WhatsApp installed on my personal device (Dual SIM and all) since it’s my choice, which I can make.

Peer pressure, social norms, and even “bosses demanding you join their WhatsApp to communicate” is a non starter here.

I think it annoys my immediate boss that I use our corporate email for everything, or even simply calling them telling them the most menial of things.

It is an option, believe me, you’re just doing what your employer tells you to.

But they can’t force you to use WhatsApp unless you signed a contract of employment stating so? And if you did that the onus falls on you.

You can’t get rid of Whatsapp.

Very true, but you can also never ever give them your number and then get funny looks from friends, colleagues, and pretty much everyone in the UK.

I for one am proud of getting those funny looks.

Exactly, and the way it work(ed) on reddit was a non-plus from the start, especially if you modded moderately large subs hence me never blocking anyone other than those annoying accounts.

The art of ignoring is key ;)

but I have nothing against the users.

Absolutely, and in 12+ years of using reddit the only accounts funnily enough I’ve had to block are admin accounts, and I liken the above to users from other subreddits being able to able to interact in other subs until they either

• get banned by the sub /c/ mods

• individual users using the block function

Tarring users from instances is like using that SaferBot bullshit which I’ve never liked.

Why not, post something here that’s like you say pretty niche and generates discussion about it?

If it wasn’t posted here I wouldn’t have heard about it and why I subscribe to such places for news on these devices.

Not only security implications, it’s also the time sink and apps crying about Safetynet being unable to be passed I find the Pihole + browser extensions / Tampermonkey etc somewhat of a sweet compromise.

I keep getting nagged by someone to try either AdGuard or NextDNS on my Pi but also…lazy/busy at work :(

(Galnet) MIUI at one point used to be the ROM to install back in the day.

Now, typing from this Mi 11 meme it’s a whole different kettle of fish. Security app is what I would call snake oil leaning for towards spyware, then all the other uninstallable apps from MIUI are tracking apps / dupes.

To be honest though being able to uninstall YouTube should be a given but Google won’t allow that either, even though it’s a “website”.
