Finally dedicated a day to de-googling my phone, custom ROM, no gapps, bliss!

@design_RG Just went with Lineage OS 16 since its the most stable android 9.0 ROM I could find for the S8. The only thing that is a bit buggy is the Bluetooth.

@design_RG @freemo @stux @Perico I was a Brave user up until recently when some questionable code was found in the source. Now I'm running a kitted out Firefox on my desktop and Fennec with a bunch of privacy plugins on Android.

@hansw that being said, you can get free credit with a lot of VPS sites when you first sign up and setting up a VPN is easier than something like an email server in my opinion. I've used this tutorial https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1140511-diy-vpn-pritunl-setup-tutorial/ in the past

@angristan I'm happy I haven't encountered anyone who does this yet, but I'm glad I have a resource to point them to when they do!

I'm going to try and move away from Spotify in the next few weeks. My current plan is to use NewPipe and playlists for streaming music on my phone and DVD/youtube-dl (https://github.com/yausername/dvd/) in order to save music. And I can continue to use invidious/yewtu.be along with FreeTube for music on my desktop.Though I enjoy the ease of use and features with Spotify, along with the ability to support creators, I still feel the level of tracking and coupling with Facebook to be concerning. On top of this the money that creators get is considerably less than buying their music directly. This way I can use the money that I'd have spent on premium to buy albums direct from the creators (most are independent so even labels won't get a cut). #opensource #music #privacy #spotify

Found a great launcher for Android, you can have a feed of any RSS stream on the home page. https://posidon.io/launcher also works with other widgets and highly customisable. Beauty of open source meant I could spend the weekend fixing one of the bugs and implementing a feature I wanted! #opensource #android

@luke to be honest I was surprised when I found your content on Youtube since PeerTube was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned being an 'internet landlord'.

@amelorate I've started using OVH this weekend for hosting invidious, searx and OpenVPN since their rates are very good for the amount of bandwidth and RAM you get
