Even if it’s not the same protection as with a VPN sharing your mobile connection is a better idea than using your real ISP connection. Cause in fact most of mobile ISP use about 200 people on the same IP adress, that’s why for example these IPs are good for scraping, because Google and others web services whitelist these IPs cause they know that they are going to ban 200 people

The best way to download YouTube videos is Yt-dlp, and the best way to use it on android is trough this app : https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.deniscerri.ytdl

Don’t know how much storage you have on your phone but you should just try these steps : If you are downloading from YouTube Music you won’t get the best quality but for me that’s okay. So I just recommend you to download an android client for yt-dl and then download what you want. If you are downloading only 1 or 2 gigs of music it should be okay, but if you are downloading more or wanna take care, you should use a VPN 😁

Ah shit we’re uncovered 🤦

On mobile you have 4 choices :

• Stock Android, the worst you can get, simply not use it

• iOS, as worst as android but with better UI

• Degoogled Android, good choice, avail able on many devices 👍

• Linux phones, the best but in early development and only available on some devices only

It’s very depending on which apk you want. If you only want the apk of one specific open source app, just check on fdroid or on their git (mostly on github). And if you want play store apps without installing Aurora store, just use ApkMirror (their apks are mostly clean, cleaner than Apkpure in any case…).

Meta train open llms, only big techs can train AI… Go pursuit OpenAI or Google and leave Meta (I’m really not a fan of Meta but their “open” AIs are great examples of good works) do their work!

For me you can try to host a SimpleX server and then connect to it (with SimpleX it is pretty as much secure to run its one server than use a public one).

Or maybe use XMPP but try to use a good encryption protocol. This option is great in term of power efficiency, XMPP would run great on a RasPI

If I want to host my services to the internet, I need to open a port in my firewall nah? is that not a bit risky than only allow access from the address of the data center to use this open port?

Simply to protect my home server from attacks, and serve the content only with the remote server in a datacenter

I would like to access to my server only trough the proxy, like if I put my real IP I end up with nothing, but if I put the proxy IP it show me my server

My opinion is that if you don’t have not much money to spend into video games that’s okay to pirate it, but try to encourage the creators by donating or just say thanks!

I think that even if you want to harden your Firefox you should use mullvad browser (or librewolf) and then harden it a bit if you want

If you’re a bit pro privacy you should use a browser that reset all the cookies at each closes. So it just doesn’t matter if you refused cookies or not. And you should 100% use Ublock Origin. If think that by default (or with some tweakings) it blocks most of the banners but if you’re not happy with only ublock, I suggest you to try I still don’t care about cookies

That’s exactly why I didn’t buy it, and I don’t need so much specs, just something more power efficient with lower specs, so if you have some recommandations…

Humm ok, maybe trying to find a sff PC (don’t want a mini PC)

I’m going to check the German article but maybe that’s a bit above my budget.

How do you think that I could reach 20W with the P500?

I have a very low budget but you know, I don’t want to get that kind of laptop or mini pc (due to their lack of upgradability), I don’t necessarily want 10W power draw only want to not idle at more than 70…

I want to have at least 6 SATA ports (could upgrade it with a pcie card later) and some pcies ports. In fact if the machine is around $150 but has terrible power efficiency I wouldn’t choose this thing. So I want to both 😅 but if a machine would be great and has lower specs that I was expected I would take it anyways.

Yeah it’s me again because I wanna to make sure that I will buy the right thing for my homelab journey (don’t wanna spend money uselessly)

In fact I’ve found pretty nice deal with 128gb and 24vcores at $160, the only downside is that it’s a proliant dl380 g8 m, so it’s going to be noisy and power hungry
