Ah yes, "hey instead of us tracking you, can you just save us the computation effort and just tell us what you're into? We'll still keep tracking you though." And this is somehow a privacy FEATURE? Even though they clearly say they'll be sharing thisvinfo with websites you visit? Boggles the mind

This was the answer, called up and got them to unblock ports 80 and 443 (they actually unblocked them all). Thanks alot!

I agree... but this is probably the last big reddit thing for a while, so I think the reddit and lemmy stuff will die down from now

Anyone got good options for ebooks? Currently got calibre setup but only sourcing my books from libgen. Tried using jackett + readarr but the indexers didnt seem great... is it worth paying for indexers? Which ones?

Depends on when the app pulls from OSM. Organic Maps and OSMAnd are monthlyz, if you have OSMAnd plus or are a contributor to OSM it's hourly I think

I've been using Firefox for years now and the only issue I've had is that at work I can't download particularly large files from John Deere operations centre so I use another browser just for that. Everything else, which is literally everything as far as I'm concerned, has been a better experience for me than Chrome ever was. Also Brave uses chromium which is cringe.

I'd say it's worth the switch as if you care about privacy, Firefox just has more tools available to this end

There's only one phone that runs GrapheneOS so that's the one I get. If you're looking at stock phones, apple is the best for privacy and security, but if you really care about those two things you're probably not just looking at them stock

Yeah its just reskinned chromium like the rest, but it'still nowhere near as bad as chrome, edge and the other telemetry filled ones.

Support Firefox!

This is the most Perth, Western Australia, photo iv'e ever seen. Someone validate me please

OsmAnd was specifically designed for offline use, downloads the maps and runs the routing all offline. Can do both online as well but by default after download it's all offline

May I suggest Tracker Control, allows per-app network access and even restricts certain tracking requests. Only downside is it takes the VPN slot. Very much worth it though I believe

There is a lot of very confident, opposing answers here...

Could be the holding in your shit for a week or whatever it was meme

Org-mode

I can't believe just how radically different that is to what I see here in Australia. Absolutely breathtaking

Ohhh wow I can't believe I forgot about that, I feel so dumb hahaha.

Are there any benefits to keeping this switched on? Other than than the security I mean, is the tradeoff between privacy and security worth it in your opinion?

Must be nice living in a post 1995 country... theres only 1 or 2 ISPs in Australia that support ipv6...

Onyx Boox Leaf 2, and use the OPDS feature of calibre(web) to download books and read them, all within the KOReader app

I was using ddg for a while but got fed up with the kinda shit results.. swapped over to brave search and it seems much better, but not 100% sure if it's got the privacy behind it like ddg does.. have you got any experience with brave search?
