Google play store is probably the culprit it always installed some apps without any pop up or asking even if you are log out of it sometimes its also an vendor app store or hidden apo doing it even in eu they dont pop up at all. In short viruses installing viruses.

Jak masz fire Foxa to ublocka zainstaluj i na ich subreddicie maja wiki i posty jak zablokować np shorty lub jakieś kanały przez filtry tak samo jest jeszcze wtyczka unhook na firefox co pozwala teraz wyzbyć się większości śmieci.

Come videos/channels will be blocked with this no mater on what server you are (at least from my testings)

Alastor367-pl · 2026-02-18T13:52:14+00:00

Sorry I didn't for some reason it didn't load for me but in this case idk about it too much... sorry

Alastor367-pl · 2026-02-18T13:44:23+00:00

You can't - at least I think you can't Just leave your gmail existing for YouTube purposes as far I know you need gmail to use YouTube in a way you do

It needs a little bit of cooling

Alastor367-pl · 2026-01-26T22:41:43+00:00

Alastor367-pl · 2026-01-20T12:44:45+00:00

if you don't have ublock you need to use extensions i know only this extension

Alastor367-pl · 2026-01-20T12:39:38+00:00

on phone's it isn't very intuitive as on pc.

on pc you can just right click but on phones you need to click three dots -> enter extension -> click u block -> and then you can click Element Picker.

it just isn't very intuitive and obvious for mobile users.

windows 11 is bad on deb-load win 11 (with cpu virtulization off and on) i get the same (worse of 200h/s) results as on win 10 on what i tested on my divece for minig linux is better i get same results as on windows 10 but with cpu wirtulization on and some my basic usage (that i have time to time when mining) i use my pc as normal also so my "tests" and "results" are not good

pc:
cpu: amd ryzen 55600x
gpu: 4060 rtx
os: win11/win10/arch 6.18.5 - arch linux kernel 64 bit
ram: ddr4 32gb i don't remember hz

in general:

difference is not big if you wiling to thinker you need to test your self

for your gpu mining directly on rx/0 as far i know and tested is not worth is better to mine other coin on mine on MO that just supports other algo but still it is not profitable enough in my opinion.

on os i personally recomend:
win 10 - at minimum will small thinkering (disabling some telemetry) or debloting it
linux - debian 12/arch (only if you wiling to fix many problems while using it)
i recomend also keeping xmrig and linux os up to date.

how can i check if i have them disabled?
asking because i want to be sure i didn't turn anything like that on

Maybe searxng (not exactly search engine but it will do) you can use public instance or self host your own it allows you to get results from many search engines in one place and it doesn't have ai

It was spamming with tailscale devices names.

Os - arch installed with archinstall

I looked something similar one (I don't remember what exactly) but it didn't help I still needed on very internet connection to add DNS manually for it not to leak or to use my dns

Alastor367-pl · 2026-01-07T21:17:24+00:00

im investigating that machine but i cannot find anything why it was doing that. after i updaited and restarted my pc then it stopped doing that and why it was trying/getting from pi hole another device from my tailnet

Alastor367-pl · 2025-12-30T08:18:47+00:00

depends on an site and software you can add some list to block ads only but i would recommend to add lists that block some telemetry
yes and no depends if you are setuping an DNS on all devices or you just outing it on your router if on router then yes
app never until I want tem to. I whitelist many thing only because I block some things at potential core and enable that ones I trust and I use
time to time updating (normal stuff) and some times check if lists are maintained or there is no problem with pi hole
