As long as both remain free and open source I’ll allow it.

Thank you. This is more aligned with what I was hoping for. I wanted a way to access these services but still lock the device down as much as I can. Thank you for sharing.

Actually this is a more clear idea of what I was looking for. A device I could get these apps on and still have control over the device.

Thank you for the tips! This seems like it may be a good option.

Was actually unaware of SmartTube. Looks like it may cover that part for me :). I had also never heard of LineageOS, I’ll take a look there too. I have a Pi4 laying about I was going to use.

As for FireTV I may just end up going that rout, I was just curious what the options looked like. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me :).

Actually hadn’t though of this. Thank you!

I do have a pi-hole set up, but alas it won’t stop YT ads.

Exactly! Pirate Software talked about this a while back. Steam doesn’t want you cutting them out, and then them still being responsible for the bandwidth to download and host your game.

Its this one. And the reason is that if steam sells a game at $10 and humble sells you a steam key at $5, steam gets no profit and is 100% responsible for the bandwidth when you donlload it, for hosting the page, for the market, etc etc. Basically steam doesn’t want to assume all the work with none of the reward. Which I don’t really see an iissue with.

Yeah, I guarantee you google isn’t interested in showing you one or the other. They want the revenue from both. My only question is, if you pause an ad, can you get another ad in your ad?

When I first moved to linux I felt this same way. It gets better. Now days I fucking love those 15 page ReadMes and I’m not bothered if there’s no steps for my distro. The sheer volume of documentation surrounding linux packages is insane. There’s often a ton of ways to configure and manage the to fit your needs. That freedom is what I love so much about linux.

As for the ones with 2 lines, I don’t think I’ve seen that as much. I generally would avoid them unless the source was clear what the project did.

At any rate there will come a day when it starts to click. It’s just a marathon not a sprint.

I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.

Hah, what a novel name, thank you.

Honestly, the Reddit migration. I switched to Lemmy about 6 months ago. A few of the largest communities at that time were Self Hosting and Privacy related. Those naturally lead me to looking into Linux. From there I started minor self hosting on a Pi. Then, after a rather long walk through the Yongsan Electronics Market in Korea I built my own Homelab, and last week, I moved my primary desktop to Pop_OS. Honestly, It’s been a blast. A few learning curves, but the ability to have near complete control over my setup, and the increased self reliance has been delightful.

Of course its innovative, imagine the room this clears up for more ads.

Apk support. Saves you having to get LDplayer or something. Would be great if you’re developing android aps.

But yeah the juice isn’t worth the squeeze in this case. I’m not switching till 10 goes eol and even then there’s a strong chance I’ll fully switch to linux instead.

Eyy! That got it! I think I’m still going to set up nginx to make it easier as I add more self hosts so I’m not trying to memorize everything’s port. Thank you kindly for your time!

Do you happen to know how I would find what port it’s on and where I would change it? My Pi-hole actually defaulted to /admin, and when using my Searx instance I never had to use a port, so I’m not entirely sure where that info would be.

I’m interested in how I would do this. Google basically just gives me steps for assigning IPs to VMs which isnt quite what I’m looking for.

I hereby bequeath my Hentai Alt to my cousin Larry. May it serve him in his time of need.
