Cool! I should also visualise my stack like this!

Maybe you can also anonymously declare your switches to switchdigest.eu. Would be cool to show others what we are switching to!

    Thanks for taking the time to help. I eventually gave up and use Freetube during the time it's not broken and just use Youtube's web frontend the rest of the time.

    I did tryin moving my subs to grayjay but if you have a lot of sub channels, it is incapable of loading video feeds and just stalls out.

    Old post, but as overarching as Youtube is, afaik there's none, either by not being as generalist, or not having as big of a demographic. Better I can suggest is to integrate multiple platforms into a single feed, e.g. with RSS or Grayjay/NewPipe/PipePipe.

    No one would opt in, and phone GPS would suck. GPS used to take minutes to gain a lock, before they started using cell towers and WiFi points to speed up locks. Put your phone in flight mode, reboot and try get a lock, it will take forever (you may have to do other things to clear your cached location).

    Well, @passenger@sopuli.xyz mentioned that it’s on the google page. But then when I chose some of the brands under “Find specific steps for your access point”, it’s a bit useless because manufacturers web admins have no sense of discipline or self-control. They cannot resist the urge to rearrange their website which broke Google’s links. But further below on Google’s page are some general instructions. I would try to follow those. And if you get stuck, maybe try posting a support request in !homenetworking@selfhosted.forum.

    (update) I just had a closer look at the general instructions to do a quick sanity check. Google’s instructions for linux are bad at the 2nd step. That is, running ifconfig as a linux user can be tricky.. might need to run /sbin/ifconfig instead. And even if it runs, it does not give the gateway anyway.

    If you’re on linux, run ip route instead, which will say something like default via 192.168.1.1. Whatever IP address is the default gateway, that is what you need for the next step. Note I am only talking about linux. Google’s instructions are probably fine for other platforms.

    I use Xeovo instead of Mullvad personally. I guess there is also sailfish OS instead of Android but i don't know how compatible it is. Pretty good list, i am actually trying out element instead of whatsapp which works to a certain extent. But whatsapp is the final boss here to me

    It's on the system level, not for individual apps. Some versions of Android (such as /e/) use it by default, and any ROM using microG can be configured to use it:

    microG Settings → Location → More options → Select online location service. make sure to enable ‘Request from online service’ under both ‘Wi-Fi location’ and ‘Mobile network location’.

    If you're using stock Android I don't think it's possible unfortunately.

    I recently took a new look at the VPN market because of this and because my subscription was nearing empty. So many providers are untrustworthy. I narrowed it down to Mullvad, Proton and iVPN, where iVPN would be the most ideal (no political drama yet)... But then I read complaints about the speed from their servers. I ended up buying more time with Mullvad, but I'm not thrilled about it so if anyone has different experiences or insights please share.

    1. Dislike Proton and Mullvad for political reasons, but I understand they provide good services.
    2. I also dislike Firefox-forks. Not because they are bad, but the only reason to use Firefox is to avoid Chromium. However, if you don't use Firefox, usage statistics go down, ad-revenue goes down, and Mozilla will struggle to maintain Gecko. If Gecko goes down, so will LibreWolf and Waterfox.
    3. I don't use many of these services (I keep photos local, use my bank's payment app etc.) but some recommendations are very interesting. I still stick to an Android phone and wonder how reliable /e/OS really is.
