Good choice. I’ve switched from pfSense to OPNsense over a year ago and I never looked back. Now that the news are out there’s one more reason for me to not look back.

I used Pi-hole and AdGuard Home but they of course only work in your home LAN. So I switched to NextDNS and I’m happy (but not very happy) with it. Their DNS servers are fast and I can choose the blocklists to use myself. It also has a white- and blacklist. And the best part is that I don’t need an app on my phone to use it.
The only thing that bugs me are (feature) updates. I’ve been using it for about a year now and I think nothing has changed this entire time. Also they still offer the Energized blocklists which are dead for over a year now. It feels like the devs don’t care much about their product as long as it keeps running and people pay for it which is sad.

TrackerControl can do this? Afaik it just blocks trackers and/or ads in apps.

Depending on where you live you might just let your ISP give you a modem and you can choose the router yourself. ISPs use the TR-069 protocol which allows them to manage and administrate the router they gave you. This is probably what they did when they made the changes you mentioned. It even allows them to analyze your whole home network. Thanks to this they can spy on you if they want to. So my advice is to just get a modem from them and choose your own router because then they can’t spy on you. My advice is to use OPNsense, it’s open source.

Edit: Bridge mode + your own router so they can’t spy on your home network would also do the trick.

But that would mean you first have to pair your phone with your TV. I didn’t even know this was possible, lol. What of you unpair it? Does the on screen keyboard come back?

Also according to the arkenfox Wiki you shouldn’t bother with Decentraleyes.

The only things I can imagine here are because they had a data breach where the attackers could see the traffic of users and aggressive advertising, which is tbh just annoying. That of course doesn’t mean they’re bad in terms of their user’s privacy.
Mullvad has been visited by the police but Mullvad couldn’t deliver them what they wanted because they don’t keep data of their users. This is proof that they truly don’t keep logs. This incident alone makes me personally prefer Mullvad over NordVPN.

If you ask me then don’t bother buying them. Why? Because typing in your password to unlock your DB is still possible and afaik it cannot be turned off. Adding Yubikeys as additional option adds comfort but it’s an additional way for an intruder to unlock your DB. You want less options for an unauthorized person to unlock your DB for better security, not more.

True. That’s why I use Aegis on my tablet which only generates tokens for my Bitwarden vault. All other tokens are generated inside my Bitwarden vault.

I switched back and forth between Firefox and Chromium based browsers like Brave and Vivaldi. To be fair Firefox felt slow in comparison for a long time but that changed in the last few months. I think since about Firefox v114 I don’t feel a difference anymore and that’s why I’m using Firefox now. Best is to tell those people to try Firefox again because it recently became faster (in my experience).

It’s safe. I have a self-hosted Vaultwarden instance on my NAS for years now. I absolutely love Bitwarden.

It’s pretty complicated to use or maybe I’m just too dumb. Also it looks like I can’t put images in table cells which makes it irrelevant to me anyway.

I just installed it but am very overwhelmed by how this works. Trying to figure out how to make a spaces where I can make notes with sub-pages for half an hour now but I think I’m too dumb.

Try NextDNS. They have DNS servers all over the world and use anycast. As long as you don’t need DNS blocking you don’t even have to pay and you can send unlimited amounts of DNS requests. Check the latency here. They support DoT, DoH, DoQ and DNScrypt.

I wouldn’t trust Startpage anymore since they were bought by an advertisement company. Better use Whoogle fo get results from Google.

Lately? Hmm, I’ve been checking out search engines and stick with Whoogle for now. I’m using a public instance because I don’t wanna pay for a VPS just for a search engine and self-hosting in my home LAN is imo worse for privacy than using a public instance.

Does this count only for NA or EU too? I can’t believe it gets installed automatically without the user’s consent.

I didn’t know about kbin so I just checked it out. It looks like I can’t use my lemmy account to login on kbin though. I’m still not enlightened enough to know how everything is working in the Fediverse.
