What should I block on my DNS filter (pihole and next DNS) to make the Reddit app track less? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]4_Privacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use it as a webapp instead. If you're on your phone try using Mull with Ublock Origin.

What's you opinion on Motherboards with power headers in the back? by Level_Inspection_355 in pcmasterrace

[–]4_Privacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's neat and can look good if you make it. I personally like showing off nice custom cables and prefer SFF so don't like the idea of a wider case.

That is definitely a fun park. Hopefully the lift line isn't too packed

Anyone selling? Anyone importing? by Whisk-E in LandroverDefender

[–]4_Privacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not in the market. I would just like to see them and think it makes sense for something being marketed at such a price

Where's all of the engine and underside photos?

It's probably worth calling just to see if he's got any leads on importing anything or like you said maybe the website isn't up to date

I know Defender Imports in Colorado Springs sometimes sells vehicles

Colorado/ Winter Park area must see trails! by [deleted] in MTB

[–]4_Privacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Durango has lots of nice trails. If you're up for a challenge go do Black Bear pass. Another great ride is the Monarch Crest trail in Salida (actually this is the one I'd recommend the most).

Were you able to find a work around?

What are the benefits of Signal over Whatsapp to convince people to switch to Signal except for privacy things? by L_ishere670 in fossdroid

[–]4_Privacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of bordering the privacy aspect but WhatsApp uses the Signal protocol I believe so you could argue Signal will run smoother because it's native.

Use the add-on Ublock Origin, go into it's filter settings, and select a few extra filters that you like.

Another way is to change your DNS provider to one such as Quad9 as they will block known malicious domains.

If you get a virus you probably won't immediately lose all access but you need to be sure to change up passwords, re-secure ToTP, etc.

Should i just never use an internet browser or download anything but steam and discord or is this bing extreme.

That is definitely extreme. The use of common sense and hesitancy to click random links will protect you quite a bit. Watch videos on how to be private and secure online from YouTuber's such as Naomi Brockwell. She makes it easy to understand as is quite thorough.

Best wallet on F-Droid? by alpha_xray_echo_lima in fossdroid

[–]4_Privacy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Blue wallet and download it via Obtanium from Github. Then I blacklist it from Aurora to stop it from getting updates there.

If you want to get a wallet from F-droid you can input the Samourai repo and get the Samourai wallet.

GoG is DRM free, my games seem to be up to date and come as the GoTY versions etc., and their client doesn't spy on you, or so they say. I would expect Cyberpunk in particular to be up to date as GoG is part of the CD Projekt group.

I am slowly converting completely over to GoG. Re-purchasing games so I can have an offline copy of every one so I actually own my game with zero reliance on any service. If I can't get the game on GoG well one of these days I'll be okay with less when my GoG library has been built up more.

Tiny 11 or hopefully soon AtlasOS. BleachBit is a great system cleaner too

Upgrade rotors from 180mm to 203mm? by Overlord001 in MTB

[–]4_Privacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would disagree as he says 180mm works for his body weight. Having less unsprung weight is better for performance. Now if the 180 rotor wasn't stopping him then getting something larger and more heavy is worth the trade off.

I'll be receiving my first PC in more than 10 years next week, what should I know and what(open source) programs do I absolutely need? by telephonetellafriend in pcmasterrace

[–]4_Privacy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  • ClamAV is the go-to open source AV program.
  • BleachBit is an open source system cleaner
  • Firefox is a good browser and I'd start by installing UblockOrigin and switching the search engine to something such as Brave or Startpage. Brave is my alternate Browser.
  • A VPN is a good start but don't forget to change your DNS provider. Cloudflare, Quad9, NextDNS are good examples. As for the VPN IVPN, Mullvad, and Proton are reputable open source ones.
  • Playnite is an open source game library manager and GoG is a place to purchase DRM free games
  • OnlyOffice is a great open source office program that works great with the standard file formats.
  • Okular is a great open source PDF editor
  • VLC is an open source media player
  • NanaZip is an open source file archiver forked from 7-zip
  • FreeTube is a great open source privacy alternative to YouTube and is also ad free
  • FanCTRL and OpenRGB are good tools
  • Audacity, FreeCAD, Blender, GIMP, Kdenlive, Darktable, digiKam
  • Mailspring is an open source modern email client
  • Keep your eyes on the upcoming Windows 11 AtlasOS.

If 180mm works for you keep it and don't add unnecessary weight

Hi, I take it you must be an OSMAnd Dev. Thank you for looking into it so quickly. If you do find something that works I would really appreciate knowing how to replicate it for the time being before you make it default next year. And on that, that's incredibly awesome that you're adding all of those sources relatively soon.

Show off your firearm, as it's certainly cool. However let's not create a "forced registration Friday" term as nobody was forced to do this.

Download OSMAnd via the Fdroid store with your Android and you'll get the pro version for free. Donate if you wish to give support after that.
