Vivaldi has built in ad and tracking blocker and a much better UI.

Ubo lite seems to work just fine for my needs, which is blocking yt ads. Everything else vivaldi or adguard catches

You cant buy grapheneos preloaded on anything and doing so would be pretty foolish since it could be backdoored. GraphenOS is aimed at people who value security and privacy, you dont let some rando flash your phone if you value those things.

Not really, not when they make the claims they do.

Ignorance would be admitting you dont know enough about android to develope the app for it.

Making the claim it wouldnt be safe to use Android at all is just a flat out lie on their part. Id be very cautious about trusting an app developed by such people.

This page is full of some pretty bold lies, just to correct the record

Their claims about push notifications on Android compared to iOS are completely false. Both Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) function in a similar way with similar privacy. However, Android does not force using FCM and apps can use other push systems.

No app required

Tidal-dl-ng is the currently active version.

Like peertube for music yes. Maybe not as feature complete yet but it aims to be similar.

Federation doesnt automatically share the actual audio files but peer tube also doesnt work like that either really. Funkwhale users can follow each other and have shared playlists across pods though.

There's lots of good music communities to follow on lemmy: https://beehaw.org/post/516009

In theory funkwhale can be private, but no one is going to bother you for having a public one. Mine has been running for 2 years without any takedown requests.

If enough people started using funkwhale to the point it actually affected spotifys revenue they might start to care, but as much as i would like for that to happen, i dont think its very likely.

Well if thats your goal buy their music or merch, or just send them cash directly, most artists are on bandcamp, smaller artists will at least have a venmo or cashapp you can send to.

Artists arent making their rent money on whatever pittance spotify pays them, you would do more good for the actual artist if you just promoted their work and gave them a few bucks directly.

Why not just stop using spotify? You cant possibly stream enough to cost them more then they earn in a month from you using it. Even on mute they can still count you as an active user when it comes to selling ads and promiting themselves.

If you really want to hurt spotify, use one of the services like Soundiiz that lets you export your lists and library, grab a 2 month trial of tidal for $2 and point tidal-dl to download it all for offline use. Get yourself a nice dedicated music player like a classic ipod running rockbox. If space is an issue convert from flac to opus.

If you really, really, want to hurt spotify do what i did and take the above instructions and then also spin up your own FunkWhale pod so everyone can also enjoy that music without giving corporations like spotify a dime.

We arent going beat corporations by using their products "too much", the way to beat them is to replace them with self hosted alternatives.

Does it refuse to run if it detects root? Im not rooted but grapheneOS lets me run whatsapp no problem.

Just use trocador.app

No need to add extra work for proton when a solution already exists.

I havent tried with caddy but i might be able to help you get it working if you wanna chat some time. My contact info is on my website.

My goal was to have no ports exposed on my home network so the proxy is on the VPS. My home server connects over wireguad to the vps, then all the traffic is routed over wireguard to the home server which only listens on wireguard.

I rent a cheap $5/mo VPS and use it to run a wireguard server with wgeasy and nginx proxy manager. Everything else runs on my home server connected by wireguard.

Whats the scientific term for that oceangate thing that sploaded with all the billionaires?

Aside from amazon ive also used newegg and for some things monoprice. For used stuff, especially phones i use swappa.

Why run an app when you can just run it in a browser tab?
