Let’s be honest though, “don’t set a wallpaper, in case they track you” is extreme. It’s the privacy equivalent of the £1000 Ethernet Cables.

I use Muzei and my wallpaper changes every half hour, so I’m not really affected.

But even if I was, so the fuck what? If you’re sacrificing your personal enjoyment of your phone for privacy, you’re either a secret agent or you’re overly paranoid.

Most of us are running adblocking at the DNS level, so what exactly are you worried about?

Paranoia for the sake of paranoia is stupid!

Are you looking for !selfhosted@lemmy.world or !homeassistant@lemmy.world

What are the privacy concerns regarding Wikipedia?

The beauty is the extension over alternatives is that it gives you a list of alternatives. Ping them and switch to the quickest loading one.

So the plan as it currently stands is to do real time photo backups with Immich and then back that up to a hetzner storage plan. But it’s just a plan for now since I haven’t even installed Immich yet. But the thinking is that it’s cheaper than Ente, which looks good and gives me more wiggle room.

You’re making me wanna cry. I need this in my life!

I need to set up my VLANs 🥺

The Ente suggestion went right under my radar. It actually looks like a really solid suggestion, thank you.

I guess I’ll spend some time looking into Immich. Thanks for the suggestion.

Dunno why I find this hilarious, but I do. That said, I need to buy myself a new NAS before I think about one for a friend 🥺

Is there a method to see which apps are using Firebase?

Sorry, just seen this. Glad someone else sorted you out.

For those of you that don’t want to install another add-on, this filter for uBlock does a similar thing: https://filterlists.com/lists/clearurls-for-ublock-origin

All the more reason to switch to Firefox

Yep, I still get emails from Facebook despite deleting my account 20 years ago

Anyone that promises encrypted mail is a liar. Until the email consortium or whatever they’re called offer encryption as standard, all email is sent as plain text.

Have you considered Funk Whale, the Spotify of the Fediverse?
