I’m familiar with torrents and seeding. I would appreciate an invitation. Thank you for the offer. Feel free to dm me.

I know you're right but I haven't been able to find the specific documentaries I want to rip. Also, my library is all in the av1 codec and I'd like to keep it that way as much as I can.

Use the Yattee app and connect it to your preferred invidious or piped instance.

Before you throw it away, you can sideload Kodi onto it, and stream local content, IPTV, and other (not super legal) entertainment sites.

You can see the requests for Pocket, certificates and the captive portal check since those are in the actual url name. In addition to those, FF phones home for browser updates, extension updates, FF sync, safe browsing, etc.

I’m personally not a fan of their approach to Snaps and hard pushing their snap store.

Apt works just fine and if we want sandboxed apps, we could choose to install flatpaks.

But the snapstore comes preinstalled and I’m not a fan of that.

Yes. To the uBO list maintainers and Jellyfin.

If you actually read the article, you see that this problem is 100% solvable if you use a VPN.

Do you just look at pictures on Imgur? Are there actual communities? I’ve only used it as a place to upload pictures to link on Lemmy or Reddit.

Pihole blocks the basics for Roku. Things like logs ads etc. but there’s a lot more telemetry that they’re collecting. Here’s a hackernews thread about the topic and the associated article it references.

I'll look at both of those suggestions but mp3 should be sufficient, no?

I generally stream via audiobookshelf. They even have an iPhone app in TestFlight now.

Thank you.

I use this add-on. It doesn’t automatically turn on for every website but you get to choose which domains it works for and which domains it doesn’t.

I did end up setting up my new Protectli appliance today. As i said below, I ended up with OPNsense and I have been able to replicate 97% of pfBlockerNG's functionality on OPNsense. I've been able to load all of my previous DNS blocklists (including my own personal blocklists on Github), set up cron jobs (in the GUI) to update these lists every week and and whitelisted some sites too. The only thing that sucks is that regex isn't supported. Instead they do wildcard domains (*.ampproject.org). Not nearly as good as regex but it's better than nothing.

I also used pfBlockerNG for hardcoded ip address blocks (like Roku hard-coding 8.8.8.8). For that, I used the alias function in the firewall and just set up floating rules for that. Definitely not as convenient as a list, but they don't change very much. Also, for IP addresses for security, OPNsense has a whole IDS section that pfBlockerNG used to handle.

pfBlockerNG made everything clean and easy but I've been able to get 97% of the functionality in pfBlockerNG in OPNsense. The 3% deficit is lack of regex support.

Edit: I saw the article you were referring to. That's how I set up IP blocking. But Unbound in OPNSense supports blocklists (it's even called DNSBL) and that is much easier/quicker to set up than using aliases IMO. Just make sure you toggle on Advanced Mode. That's how you quickly load the custom blocklist urls. Just remember to seperate the urls with a comma. I forgot the first time and nothing worked.

I bought a netgate box a couple of years back and it was total garbage. My new 2.5gb Protectli came in yesterday. Looks like I’ll be putting OPNsense on it.

Ask them for their kids’ social security number, DOB, etc. I’ve done that a couple of times and it always gets a reaction.

People are less concerned about themselves, but generally very protective of their children… and rightfully so.

I love Piped. I use it so much every day. I just wanted to thank you for creating and maintaining the project. It’s huge.

Also, this bot is going to be great for me on iOS because access to extensions on safari are really limited.

Thanks Kavin!
