Been using a Dual Edge Safety Razor for a year. It’s so much more affordable and a better shave. I shave every day. I spent like $15 on my razor (1939-45 Gillette tech,) $15ish for 100 razor blades (I use Gillette Nacets) where each one I use for about a week. So what almost two years of blades? I use Arko shave soap which is like $8 a tub and it last me like 3 or 4 months. After shave about $10 again another 2 or 3 months. Most expensive thing was my shave brush which was like $35. Won’t buy another for forever.

Anyway. It’s a nice thing to do. It will take a few weeks to get used to. The shave is excellent and once your used to it you can shave just as fast as the disposable ones with a crazy close shave.

I wanted to but my pixel bootloader is carrier locked. Supposedly you can call and ask them to unlock it if you own the device but not sure if that’s true.

Yeah same. It sucks. I got into Google stuff back when Gmail was in beta and invite only. Admittedly I really only use Gmail, drive and the calendar. But the sso aspects is the part that is the hangup I think. I have so many accounts utilizing their identity provider solution.

Wow, I thought the same op. Incredible.

And I’m pretty sure that was a German AA tower from the WW2 era. This is a much better purpose.

I usually go Spigen rugged armor. Cheap, minimal and works great. Last 4 phones I’ve used that model.

Mullvad currently but NordVPN also worked. Not sure what debrid service your using but rd has a page that lists compatible VPN services

Fwiw I use a VPN on debrid because I don’t trust it otherwise.

True! I was shocked looking at my pihole logs and see how much Firefox phones home for that crap the other day.

For example: Firefox today on my pihole.

It does the canvas anti fingerprinting with it’s letterbox style display… Is strict with cross site cookie denial. A few more differences. Check out mulls site. I found it pretty detailed in its explanations

if thats a problem, change your invidious instance freetube is pointed at. :) I had the same problem before.

Same. Haven’t seen this yet. Not using an account. Using freetube on desktop, clipious on Android. Sometimes the web version with ublock default. Have a pi-hole but it hasn’t blocked a YouTube ad since 2018 lol

Yep I’m very impressed with syncthing. I just started using it a few weeks ago.

What’s amusing is I am purposely not paying for bitwarden because of the check against darkweb leaks or whatever type feature when you pay. That’s seems like an anti privacy thing. I understand it’s a good idea albeit seems to expose a lot of information about you. I would like to do vaultwarden but don’t think I can trust self hosting myself without paying monthly for a vps which I don’t want to do. Home Internet hosting seems to unreliable to me for something that important.

Just random thoughts of mine here.

Using freetube to a invidious instance. https://freetubeapp.io/

K38 still works. But yeah just switch to Linux.

Just started doing exactly this recently. Aurora fills the gaps for the stuff that I need without the play store.

Seems possible. I dabbled in audio engineering, you can train a filter to remove specific noise, specifically background noise of a location.

Amazing.

Fwiw, I use nordvpn and real debrid works great.if your like me and trying to use it anonymously as possible you can pay with Bitcoin. RD has a list of VPNs they say are allowed.
