YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer
  • For new videos it's an estimation with added dislike data of people using the extension, it's rather accurate for most videos. For old videos before the dislike removal it uses old archived data plus new data added on top using the algorithm and data by the extension users

    Superiority brings controversy
  • It runs on tablets and there are specific distros made for tablets with improved support and features. There are also linux-only tablets being sold.

    And I don't see what problems you're trading for, ad I at least never really had any Problem on Linux that I couldn't fix in some way.

    Antivirus recomendations
  • Another simpler frontend for iptables I think is well suited for desktop environemnts is ufw. It does what it's supposed to do and is extremely simple to use

    Antivirus recomendations
  • Nowadays it is almost impossible to get a virus just from visiting websites. As for security recommendations I would recommend never running applications as roo that 100% don't need it, as for 3rd party repos I would always be a by mindful of the apps but generally there isn't too much of a risk, of getting a virus.

    Does Mnemonic Passcode more secure than normal password?
  • I can't recommend KeepassXC enough. And it's not even hosted either, it's a simple keepassxc database file. Sharing it across devices is done using any file server or service you want to use.

    VPN or Not?
  • My current ISP is VSE, Innogy highspeed, E.on Highspeed or whatever name they'll be using next. They change their name every few months or so

    VPN or Not?
  • I only use a vpn on public trackers, on private trackers I don't use a vpn.

    But generally if you don't live in a third world country you should almost always use a vpn. I live in Germany and luckily my ISP doesn't care about torrenting.

    Email self-hosting
  • My experience with hosting mail was very good. I host my mail using Mailu, which is just a docker compose file and premade scripts for the usual mail stack software (Postfix, Dovecot, Nginx etc.). I hosy it on my home network using a raspberry pi. I score 9.8 on mail tester and my mail rarely ever lands in spam.

    In total I spent maybe 3 hours setting everything up including my domain and 2 hours debugging issues. I honestly recommend self hosting mail.
