bro be spitting fax, on God

Thank you, these are great tips!

Thanks, that helped!

Thanks! No, that’s exactly what I wanted to do :) I was just wondering if it’s okay to have this many random requests, which seems to be fine.

I’ve set up a cloudflare tunnel, all you need is a domain. It forwards my local Jellyfin instance to the public web, and is easy to get started with. I’m not sure how secure it is though, so I would appreciate any advice from more enlightened pirates.

You are right, now that I think about it Spotify was only good on macOS and Android for me. The official app wasn’t even available for Linux on my platform. And I wasn’t able to find all the music I wanted with it anyway, so I might give it a shot, thank you!

I usually browse Trakt and look for some decent lists, then add what I like to mine. The lists are hooked up to Radarr/Sonarr so I don’t have to bother manually downloading my media.

My friends and I have been joking too much about this naming scheme without even mentioning what appears to be the intentional meaning… I feel rather dumb.

I’ve never seen capitalism explained better than this.

Yes, it’s this app, I didn’t mention it because I wasn’t sure if it was the one with the message.

There’s a FOSS companion app for AirPods on Android and some features are “locked” until you press “Activate” and choose “I’ve spent all of my money on AirPods” as a payment method.

Thanks! I’ve tried rooted stock for a while, but gave it up because the updates weren’t showing up. I didn’t know you could use any FOSS solutions to location services, I’ll have to research it more. I’ll give it a try once I finally decide to unlock the bootloader (I’ve relocked it afterwards, a big mistake).

Thank you for the extensive reply! This covers the question perfectly. Your comment made me realize that I am not ready to ditch some services at this point in my life. The good thing about privacy is that your decision is very rarely black or white. You can gradually flow towards more private solutions over time, giving up and replacing things you use little by little.

My bank doesn’t require a physical card and I don’t have it, checkmate xD

Yeah, I don’t get why you’rr getting downvoted, I completely agree with you. Once you’ve tried it, there’s no coming back, that’s why microG and other workarounds exist.

It’s good to know, thank you. Is GPay completely out of limits on Calyx (or any ROM in general)?

Great to hear that! I am very tempted to try Calyx, especially now that it has A14 builds for panther. Do you use GPay by any chance? If so, does it work consistently throughout updates?

Exactly what I am facing right now. I consider myself a privacy-concious person, but there is just no way of getting some things working consistently with open-source ROMs. The only major factor for me is GPay, which has become the only way I pay for things nowadays.

That may be true, I used to be an iPhone Xs user before my Pixel 7, and it used to drive me crazy seeing blue WiFi icon turning white, as opposed to turning the module off completely in the settings, when the icon becomes transparent.

It is nitpicking though, for sure. I have tons of other, more significant complaints about iOS, I was just clarifying what it may have been that the other person was complaining about.

Edit: Moreover, until you deliberately tell your phone to NOT automatically turn on WiFi after an hour or two, it will decide for itself that the time has come and it can drain your battery now.

What he’s talking about is probably that turning off WiFi via quick settings or whatever it’s called doesn’t actually turn off WiFi, you still have to proceed all the way to the settings app.
