Howdy

Pretty much the same here. the storage to quality ratio isn’t a big enough difference to make it worth it to me for anything over 1080. 720p is noticable but I’ll still use it no problem.

I’m confused just by this announcement. +1 to that.

Edit: I thought wallet was “pay”.

I’m new too but I separated by root and home partitions this last install to try and allow that.

Torrents yes, always VPN. If you’re doing the debrid route, not required but personally I still do.

I am a big fan of mullvad VPN as they take no info from you to create an account. Can pay with crypto. No name, email or anything tied to their service. Used proton, nord and pia in the past.

ublock Origin + pihole.

For my pihole I use these lists: https://github.com/sefinek24/Sefinek-Blocklist-Collection

Ubuntu, Pop!_os, KDE… Currently on fedora. It’s been solid. I honestly think I like pop the most but I was having weird gpu issues which haven’t showed up over on fedora.

I’m gonna be honest. I never have done that till today. Wow… So much easier. Incredible.

Exactly what I do… I keep thinking it’s too good to last. I still download things if I know I’m going to rewatch them a lot.

I may be biased but Lemmytools. ;)

Same thing happened to me. Moved to pop!_os.I have zero regrets. I’ve learned a ton. I use tons of apps off f-droid and foss Ubuntu apps. I have degoogled most of my life. I’m also developing an Firefox addon for lemmy. It’s usable as a user script addon now. It’s called lemmytools. It’s my small contribution. All because Reddit got stupid. I don’t even browse reddit for answers usually about tech/programming stuff anymore because they block my VPN.

Got two. Not doing anymore. Ive had up to 4 or 5 and still couldn’t find what I wanted.

Yup, I’m using transmission in a docker container that ensures my VPN is always connected. Nice to not have to worry about that.

I did for awhile. For me, it wasnt worth the effort. Hot tip: go ahead and switch to blob storage for pictrs or your hosting fees are gonna get expensive quick.

Im pretty sure meta give zero fucks about joining the fediverse beyond trying to destroy it. I imagine they only started threads to nullify it by either proving it doesnt work (threads looks pretty garbage) or they want to control the content where mainstream fediverse will never take off.

Im here because i liked reddit but hated being a product. Meta/facebook was zero percent of that initial switch calculation as i havent been on their stuff for nearly a decade. The api shutdown ay the alien site was the last straw. I dont want to interact or give data to facebook/meta. Just my two cents.
