- Comment on It's official: Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes | TechCrunch 10 months ago:
I was using nextcloud at first but kept having sync issues. I use syncthing to sync my Libre office docs and it always disconnects on my Android. I bought Mobious a few months back to sync photos from my iPhone and it always disconnected. So I switched to photosync. So in other words syncthing hasn’t really been reliable for me. I use a free Dropbox account and haven’t had any issues since. And the best thing about Joplin desktop is there is a Backup plugin, so if my Dropbox ever went down, I still have multiple Backups saved locally and on my Proton Drive.

I have been using Joplin with Dropbox sync. Syncs between my Desktop, Android, and iOS devices. Switched from Google Keep a few months back. Great app.
- Comment on What's the point on hosting RSS reader's? 10 months ago:
I have a self hosted freshRSS but I still just use the Feeder app 99.9% of the time. I guess I just keep Fresh as a backup in case the Feeder app ever goes down.

Then you’re using it wrong buddy.
- Comment on Poor video playback quality on Kodi 10 months ago:
I use Kodi for the Google drive add on to stream and nothing else. So I keep it as bare bones as possible.
- Comment on Apple to switch to OLED displays for iPads and MacBooks - Nikkei Asia 10 months ago:
The XR and 11 (non Pro) had LCD. The 12 and 12 Pro have the same exact OLED screen, so that’s when they stopped using LCD on the lower models with Face ID.
- Comment on Do you configure your servarr docker containers from one docker-compose file, or individual ones? 11 months ago:
Yup. Same way I do it.
- Comment on Do you configure your servarr docker containers from one docker-compose file, or individual ones? 11 months ago:
Use to do it individually. Now I do it all from one Master compose.
- Comment on Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to go mobile • The Register 1 year ago:
You dont need tampermonkey for Ublock Origin and Video Background Play Fix. It’s under add-ons when you go to settings.
- Comment on Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to go mobile • The Register 1 year ago:
Here’s another trick. Go to youtube and then go to your Firefox menu and check “desktop site”. And then you can install it as a PWA on your Homescreen. Don’t worry, when you open it up for the first time from your Homescreen, it will be back in Mobile web format.
- Comment on Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to go mobile • The Register 1 year ago:
Don’t forget the “Video Background Play Fix” add on. That paired with the adblocking makes it where you can watch ad free YouTube while in another app or even with the screen off.

One thing I forgot to mention: when you turn your screen off or switch to another app, the video playback will stop. The easy way around this is to use Firefox Mobile. Go to settings > add ons and enable the “Video Background Play Fix” add-on. Now your video will keep playing in the background when the screen is off.

Same thing for Android. I have YouTube Revanced on my Android but been using iNVidious a lot more instead. It’s much less noisy without the YouTube suggestions algorithm and you can see only the videos that YOU want to see.
Just go here and pick an instance and go to the webpage. Then add it to your home screen as a Web app. And you’re done. You can make a login to sync your subscription and playlists across all of your devices too.
Also, you could take it a step further and host your own instance if you know how to spin up docker containers. That’s what I did. But you don’t need to. You could always just use one of the many public instances.

Are you on iOS? Invidious works with the screen off in iOS 17

Self host SearxNG or find a cheap provider for it and never look back

Protonmail. That’s what I use
- Comment on Google sued for negligence after man drove off collapsed bridge while following map directions 1 year ago:
My exact first thought. And why not a billion BIG Red SIGNS saying shit like: “Collapsed Bridge ahead”, “Warning: immediate death ahead”, “What the fuck are doing?! Turn around”, etc.
- Comment on Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless. 1 year ago:
That’s exactly what it was. If I wanted to wash money, the easiest way to do it would be to create some bullshit digital pic and then buy it myself from an alt dummy account.

I’m going to have to do some research on this. Down the rabbit hole I go…

- Comment on Serving Local Content Through Cloudflare Tunnels 1 year ago:
I use cloudflare tunnel for each of my apps. Because it’s just so easy to setup in like 10 secinds. But there’s no need to have a different domain for each app. Subdomains of one main domain is fine.

- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 1 year ago:
Yea. My whole Facebook feed is full of ads and posts from people I don’t even have on my friend list. I got fed up and barely go on there anymore.
