Mullvad VPN if you're prepared to pay; ProtonVPN or Windscribe if you aren't.

None of the services keep logs or require any personal info.

Every day, I become more glad I switched to GrapheneOS. KeePassDX is great.

cromch mmm.... onions...

15 minutes to go! If you're gonna say it, be quick!

How did it take humanity this long to think of this‽

Well, in real life I am a very indecisive person, which I think is funny because I am abrosexual, which is a fluid identity.

I made the meme to send to a friend, then decided to post it here.

With one exception, all of my machines have 8GB or less, and I use a Firefox-based browser on desktop (Goigle deliberately slows down their services on non-Chrome browsers). Also, YouTube does have server-side tracking, and I need to be able to manage my subscriptions. I could use RSS, but I already have a reader installed for news and I don't want it getting cluttered.

uBlock and Mullvad is a great combo, and I am known to use the main site if both Invidious and yt-dlp aren't working; but the fact remains that Invidious is the inherently more private option.

What's happening on 1st November?

Well, I don't need recommendations for a start. I can see the appeal, but my subscription feed is good enough for me.

Also, YouTube is incredibly heavy in comparison, and I personally believe it's better to avoid tracking in the first place than to jump through hoops to cripple or block it, so Invidious and yt-dlp are the obvious solutions for me.

It gives you an estimate. I haven't used actual YouTube in a while, though. Just Invidious and yt-dlp.

I'd say use the website through Safari. Install AdGuard, SponsorBlock, and Vinegar, and it should be smooth sailing. Return YouTube Dislike is available as a UserScript.

Brave and DuckDuckGo also provide nice experiences with YouTube, but thry sadly do not have SponsorBlock or Return YouTube Dislike.

If you really need an app, though, give uYouPlus a try.

So I get up at 10:00 and stay in the woods until 22:00. Sounds marvellous.

I used to use Sopuli. More downtime than other instances (at least, back then), but otherwise it was fantastic.

Old hardware. Maybe I could have run River, but in my experience this machine doesn't like Wayland.

Also, Xenocara is pretty good. More secure than Xorg.

2. We don't like MSN links much, as Microsoft is data-hungry and MSN doesn'tnwork properly in some browsers. Here's a better one: https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/elon-musk-laptop-openai-lawsuit-b2775986.html
