Work fine for finding locally if in Bluetooth range. Not good for finding lost things outside of that. I lost some keys in July last year. Still not found since then.

Apples biggest benefit is the sheer number of phones that can help locate lost items. I was hoping Androids Find my Device network to be the same but currently it’s really lacking.

I kinda miss the animated logos you would see in Netscape and Internet Explorer.

Ha. That’s my bad. I didn’t even read the firewall rules listing 22/SSH. I agree on not opening 22 to the world. It just invites bots throwing passwords at it.

I just read Minecraft in the original post which from reading runs from 25565 which I wouldn’t worry about. If OP needs 22 for admission I’d either whitelist it or use a VPN/Tailscale.

More effort than I would consider. I’d just allow all traffic incoming on that port. I’d only consider whitelist if someone was giving me grief. Even then that would be after blacklisting an IP wasn’t solving my problem.

I have a couple of services, including nginx (a website) that run though a Cloudflare Tunnel. No need to open up ports and certificates are automatically managed.

I also use ddclient to update my own personal domain with my internets dynamic IP (no need for a dynamic DNS provider). I have to do this as I host Jellyfin and Cloudflare don’t support streaming through their tunnels. So yes this is exposed to the internet. It does sit behind a caddy reverse proxy though.

I also run a wireguard VPN so that I can dial in when out the home. Im in Spain next week so can use that to get BBC iPlayer etc. The wireguard uses an address that is dynamically updated by ddclient (domain is hosted by Cloudflare)

Emails I don’t bother self hosting. I actually pay for simplelogin and send emails there via aliases. They then route to a single Proton email address.

I’d have thought Google is more invasive than Apple? I say this as an Android user…

There’s cookie lists in uBlock Origin. Just enable them.

Wonder if it’s a region thing. Not there for me either (UK).

uBlock Origin has two cookie filters that are disabled by default. I enabled that and ditched the consent-o-matic extension

No idea why Samsung is seen as the best manufacturer of Android phones. Bloated crap.

I have a Pixel 8 and don’t have connectivity or overheating issues. I say this as it’s 38°C right now 🥵

The lack of being able to use extensions in Firefox on iOS is a deal breaker for me.

• Bad breath
• Body odour
• Thinking they are gods gift
• Too much make-up and fucking awful Botox lips

Not really helping you here. But when I started using Google Photos, I still manually downloaded files from my phone to local storage. I did this mainly to ensure I have the original copies of my photos and not some compressed image. Turns out that was a wise move as exporting photos from Google is a pretty damned awful experience.

I’ve configured my kids devices to use NextDNS, that way they are getting filtering no matter what network they use.

AdGuard does what I need internally, it’s just external is the issue. VPN’s are not a solution, my kids are old enough to know they can just disable it to work around it. They don’t know about the Private DNS option that I have configured on their devices… Yet

Jellyfin Plex (I wanted to get rid of it but I found my son’s TV has no Jellyfin client available so I have to keep Plex up for him) Nginx Caddy Ddclient to Cloudflare for my home dynamic IP Syncthing (such an underrated app) Wireguard HomeAssistant Some other stuff that isn’t all that interesting

This is what I do. Registered with Porkbun but have two domains pointing to Cloudflare NS’s for DNS. I then have a container locally that looks for IP changes on my home connection and if detected updates DNS to the new IP.

Just checked mine and it’s all disabled

PipePipe works with V3.5.0

No it’s not. I only found it when I opened PipePipe and it popped up there’s a new update. Installed it outside of fdroid

PipePipe works for me now with 3.5.0.
