Hi guys

Android:

  • Nexdns.io[1] - Open source DNS provider with DNSSEC and over TLS. Then can also block ads at the DNS level. I don’t actually use the app, I apply it at the system level with the “private DNS” settings.
  • Bitwarden[2] - Open Source password manager with Yubikey auth and stores TOTP.
  • Imagepipe[3] - Quickly and easily strip exif data from image (open source too).
  • Markor[4] - Used to make local notes of things I don’t want shared over a cloud or google connection. Just a .md note.
  • Wireguard[5] - Have my own VPN setup for when i’m on public wifi, also allows me to access my server/applications remotely.
  • URLCheck[6] - This app is fantastic, intercepts links to remove tracking parameters, unshorten them or even scan them with a virustotal API. I also use it to redirect twitter to nitter or apply a paywall remover.

I have 2 options that work most of the time: 12ft.io and archive.ph. The URLCheck rules are:

"proxy it with archive.is": {
    "regex1": "^(https?):\\\/\\\/([\\s\\S]*)$",
    "regex": "^(?!.*(archive\\.))(.*)",
    "replacement": "https:\/\/archive.is\/newest\/$2",
    "enabled": "true"
  },
  "12ft.io.": {
    "regex": "^.*$",
    "replacement": "https:\/\/12ft.io\/$0"
  },

This basically brings up 2 buttons on the urlcheck sheet an I can pick either to proxy it.
