  • OP said they want to stop using SearxNG.

    Also, selfhosting it makesist less privacy friendly, if you are hosting it only for yourself, as the search engines your instance is contacting can easily determine that all those searches are coming from a same IP. Sp, even if it is preventing the telemetry collection, a detailed profile can be made on the person hosting it. Butiff multiple people are using it, profiling becomes difficult. Same is the case with using self-hosted VPNs. They are good against censorship and for some other things, but not for privacy.

  • Cup noodles can be made with cold water too. But they will take about 30 mins instead of 2-3 minutes. Tried and tested. They still taste good. They are not very nutritious, though.

    I would recommended making Energy Bars/Balls. You can find a lot of recipes online but here's mine:

    • Roasted almonds
    • Roasted cashews
    • Roasted pistachios
    • Roasted hazelnuts
    • Roasted walnuts
    • Raisins
    • Dates
    • Dried Cranberries
    • Peanut Butter (unsweetened) (mine contains coconut oil)
    • Sesame seeds
    • Muskmelon seeds
    • Flax seeds
    • Pumpkin seeds
    • Dark Chocolate
    1. Roast the nuts and grind almonds and walnuts to almost flour consistency, and grind the others coarsly.
    2. Just put everything in a food processor and let it mix everything. You can also mix it with hand or spoon.
    3. To make bars, just put the mixture in a baking dish or a tray and put as much pressure as you can on top of it with your hands or spoon to remove all the air pockets. Refrigerate it for 4 hours. Then cut it into bars.
    4. To make balls, just lightly oil your hands and form a ball shape. Again, press them hard to remove the air pockets.

    These can last over a week outside the refrigerator (considering the ambient temperature in your area does not rise above 30° C). And inside the refrigerator they can last for over a month.

    You can add different types of seeds, nuts, sweeteners etc, depending on what you like, what your body needs and what's available.

    Hope this helps.

  • My banking apps and netbanking work just fine regardless of which country I am connected to. UPI (unified payments interface) requires an Indian IP, though. But I can still do everything while connected to my VPN provider.

  • Question - If Threads become a part of Fediverse, will they be able to collect the telemetry, such as who saw a post on their server, for how long did they look at an image etc, if we are using an instance other that Threads' official server?
