Appreciate the thorough reply. Mind sharing which service you used to download your Spotify tracks?

I feel you but I've already got curated playlists of over 3,000 songs me and friends have spent a few years putting together. I actually don't mind the idea of pulling each artists whole disco as lidarr does. My current roadblock is the lack of good resources/tools that automate the process.

I operate an invidious instance. Google has really cracked down the past two weeks on YouTube front ends. Its extremely frustrating.

Invidious devs are finalizing a workaround so hopefully things will be working again in the next week or two.

Is there a way to automate downloads? As mentioned in my original post I'm hoping to essentially mirror a few Spotify playlists and have my server automatically download either all of the songs on the playlist or all of the songs by the artists appearing on the playlists.

Damn. You're correct. My brain saw instance and ignored the rest.

Looking in the NewPipe settings I found a place to enter instances and there is one already configured. I guess I was proxied the whole time without realizing. Thanks for the clarification btw.

I often wish all services could provide an opt out "I'm aware no 2fa is risky but I really don't give a damn about this account so fuck off with the constant email verifications". Or if companies insist on forcing 2fa, at least support hardware keys. Don't even get me started about banks...

Good point. I'm aware of the icloud method of imessage cracking, but I often forget that I'm not always the weakest link; it's up to the people around you as well.

I eventually managed to get the yubikey to work, although it is very buggy and the steps to get it working are unacceptable IMO for the "most secure phone OS". Hardware keys should be a major priority and should simply work just as easily as using passwords, but it seems to be a stale open feature request for a few years. Luckily for me, once bitwarden is authenticated with 2fa I don't need my hardware key unless I reinstall it. So that's one major hurdle behind me. Another plus is that while you need sandboxed google services to utilize hardware key auth, they don't need network permissions to work.

If iMessages are e2ee and you aren’t using iCloud, is there any evidence your messages aren’t private? As far as I’m aware iMessage is considered a very secure messaging channel. It seems like most people distrust it due to the Apple affiliation. Not that I blame them, I feel the same about Google.

Just for the sake of getting used to / transitioning to a single gos phone, does it make sense to use the insecure phone as a hotspot and utilize the pixel without a sim (so data only device). I would be using e2e encrypted apps for texts and calls so this makes sense in my head.

Appreciate the info.

It seems absurd to me that a third party online service is required for a hardware key to work in the first place. I figured it would be authenticating strictly between the locked service and the user.

Most helpful comment. Thank you. I’m heavily considering carrying two phones. My biggest hurdle is the Yubikey at this point because it locks me out of my password manager and most of my more important apps.

You mention using the usb-c connection. I tried that but it doesn’t seem to register. I guess I just need to research some more.

Thanks for giving me some hope!

When I initiate Yubikey auth via NFC in Bitwarden, it takes me to a Yubikey demo page. From what I’m reading online, for some reason I need to install google play for the key to work correctly.

Also seeing lots of chatter on the forums that a recent gos update broke most banking apps and they’re working on a fix.

Thank you for the info about the keyboard. I’ll check that one out.

I really like mostly everything about GrapheneOS on paper. The UI, user profiles, security features. It’s the inability to use it in a practical setting that’s frustrating me. Yet I see many people claiming they switched to GrapheneOS a month or a year ago and love it. So there’s got to be a solution. I can’t imagine those individuals installed gos and it was smooth sailing since day 1.

Oh this is pretty cool.

Yeah since the unit is easily accessible I imagine they could just read the MAC address off the sticker and spoof it.

Sorry for the necro. There's not many posts about Nebula on the lemmyverse.

Been having a pain in the ass time getting my network up and running. I've got nodes on the same LAN as well as a VPS lighthouse and another few nodes on another LAN miles away. Seems all can ping the lighthouse and nodes within the same LAN can ping eachother (although sometimes they randomly can't until I reboot them), but I can't get nodes from one LAN to ping the other. Have you had any experiences with this in your setup? It's pretty much the entire use case of Nebula so it's strange that it's giving so much shit.

Damn I wish I would've known sooner. Isn't there a concern of not matching the same drive similar to how you can't mix and match RAM sticks?
