Our dog hates black cats, but completely ignores the other white & brown cat fr

Sadly true, but still better than nothing

Yeah, if there is one thing that windows 11 does well is looks. I think its fancy.

You know, RSS exists to literally circumvent this problem, albeit for articles. A lot of sites still have it, people just forgot that this is a thing. Little bit of a chore to setup, but its actually pretty nice. Obviously finding these sites is the hard part, but a good search engine (kagi btw) could make it work.

Also PeerTube exists as well, which reduces the cost of hosting videos.

Absolutely agree with the youtube subscription part. I am not giving them money if i can.

So what do I do? Patreon. I watch ad free, and i give 1 dollar a month instead on patreon. Win-win.

P.S. However, this way only a select few get money from me, but it is what it is.

Wow, are you me?? :D

I almost did the same, just my phone is not a pixel, so i had to resort to some other custom ROM. And I still just use good ol’ firefox with proton VPN most of the time.

P.S. I also blocked our TV from accessing the internet as well. Ex. Codeberg is a GitHub replacement, and on mobile Grayjay/LibreTube works great for youtube.

Good luck! Your imagination is the only limit!

P.S. Its kinda crazy how it changed my view of the world. If there is anything that is kinda troublesome, most of the time the first thing that comes to mind is: ‘Can I print something that would help?’ Then maybe I realize there are better options out there, or that right now dont have time for it. x)

Ohh, I havent thought about backing it up with Syncthing! Thank you!

If you need a UI to have albums and share them then yes, the previously mentioned Immich. I host it as well, and it is truly awesome.

One caveat though: it is still pretty early in development, there might be breaking changes. For example a few weeks ago you needed to update the docker compose file because they changed dependencies.

I could play Witchfire on day one, an early access game on the Epic Game Store, so probably the only games you cant play now are the online ones, but there are some you can.

You are not wrong, but Kagi is basically still a baby. They started maybe like last summer or so? And already decreased their prices twice (well, relative prices.) I think if we give them some time there will be a good priced tier for everyone.

P.S. Search engine is not the only thing they have.

Everyone should use whatever their heart desires, and for me the voyager app is beyond perfect (Android, PWA.) I havent used Sync so it might be better in some aspects but I am content with voyager.

P.S. If you really like a client you should donate any amount to the developer(s) to help them keep their app awesome!
