Can you please tell me you’re entirely ethical smartphone setup?
A used Onpeplus 10 with Lineage on it
au contrair, that’s still Android!! We got em! Ez, kek!
Yeah, and I didn’t pay for it. I don’t use Google services. You said ethics, right? I bought it used, Google doesn’t profit and doesn’t continue to profit.
Seems pretty sound to me. Lemme know if you need a recc for a TV or anything. I’m good with those too. I like helping normies connect with technology.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 5 days ago:
I’m an old pirate who remembers, and the thing, the raw ingredient missing in this scenario?
need
If it didn’t exist, if there was no possible way to get a copy of somesuch Gundam episode whatever in english, some dude somewhere would cross the ends of the earth to get it onto the internet. Piracy is motivated entirely by utility and need, it’s why music piracy atrophied into almost nothing until Soulseek arrived and streaming prices increased. Supply met demand, and it will again for fansubs.
If it’s needed, someone will meet the need. We did it in 1998, we’ll do it next year.
- Comment on Suggestions to have a home server VPN and and Mullvad at the same time? 1 week ago:
…then fuck the rules and connect a local home VLAN to Mullvad, then setup a local wireguard server do a little routing. This may be way easier on something like OpenWRT.
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 1 week ago:
Crypto’s only use for me is making it universally easy to pay every tech/vpn company I deal with.
beyond that, people launder money, buy drugs and do darkweb shit with a minority of privacy folks harping privacytokens like Monero.
I’d love if Steam took BTC. The grocery store? Ehhhhhhhhh.
- Comment on Suggestions to have a home server VPN and and Mullvad at the same time? 1 week ago:
“WG Tunnel” on f-droid lets you define a config/native for either mobile or wifi, whichever you want.
two configs on both? It does that. A config on one and nothing on the other? It does that.

- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
15 years ago a pirate decided to name the main channel on the Nintendo Wii for homebrew the “Homebrew Channel”, as it has been for 15 years.
That was my ultra rare holographic, limited edition reference.

I do too. They tend to speak from the heart but the second something is inconvenient, they’re cool with relaxing their morals.

Hey, you paid for them to spy on your media, give them their money’s worth.

it’s commercial software
digital cancer

- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 weeks ago:
Hey buddy, it’s your PC, not mine. I’d just rather know a multi-billion dollar corporation isn’t spying on my every move than reckon they aren’t.
Microsoft has proven on multiple occasions that they really don’t give a shit about the word “no”, so if it’s worth it, by all means, bend over, cover your ears and keep taking it without any lube.

Microsoft: he thinks it’s actually off lmao
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 weeks ago:
Linux, as an alternative, is insane. Just setting up the OS itself is another fucking hobby.
Great OS, too bad most people aren’t savvy enough to tweak minor settings.
- Comment on The McDonald's employee who called on Luigi has never received their "reward", folks chasing the 100k for Kirk may not either... 4 weeks ago:
They’re not looking for the culprit. They’re looking for $100k.
Gonna be a lot of false arrests and fingerpointing.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
It’ll go in endless circles until it finds out why its wrong,
then it will go right back to them anyway! lol
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the song as well.
Are we comparing a rip of a 1990’s album to a remaster, or a vinyl rip?
I guess if you really want to find a baseline, pick a band that’s known for audio quality and pick an album with the best.

Huh, I guess centralizing all of that userdata was a bad idea. Weird. If you hack some dude’s Jellyfin, you just hack some dude and no one else.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 4 weeks ago:
Essentially.
The fediverse, small-web, ubb-boards, xda, and parts of the darkweb, as well as places like 4chan all belong to a sort-of bound community.
Facebook, Google, Tiktok, Instagram etc make up the mainsteam internet with Tumblr and Reddit on the sidelines.
It’s getting worse, it even trickles down to software choices and piracy. Choose Linux and trust the community, run Kodi and fight constant update breakage on Youtube and corporate streaming solutions when Jellyfin and samba shares just work?
At what point does their world of influence become seemingly worse than ours by default and everyone just ignores them? Will the giants allow themselves to be ignored? I believe they will eventually make self-sufficiency impossible. Somehow, some day, you won’t have any of these choices and everyone will be nickle and dimed to death until the entire internet is an unskippable full-screen ad.
From some mobile-only average working Joes out there, that’s all it already is.

- Comment on Someone else will retire me when the time comes. 4 weeks ago:
They have several product lines and many are still made in the states, but from what I’ve seen in-store, their Chinese footwear might be made there but they’re a tight on designs with them as the US-made boots, although many of the cheaper boots have molded soles instead of welts, so it isn’t exactly 1-1 comparisons.
- Comment on Someone else will retire me when the time comes. 4 weeks ago:
The best mid-high range brand boot is RedWing.
They’re not “the best”, but they’re close and they have stores everywhere and they’re serious about boots.
Do not go to Boot Barn…

Boot-person, here.
You know who’s secretly laughing inside? Any boot fan looking at your fake ass Doc Martens or Timberlands.
Both sold out to VC money decades ago.
