Orion Browser on iOS/iPadOS is compatible with (some, not all) Firefox/Chrome addons. Add SponsorBlock for YouTube, uBlock Origin and Video Background Play Fix from addons.mozilla.org and use the YouTube website as is?

Used to run my own Invidious instance I used with Yattee but it got banned and then for some reason ate shit and died completely.

Or maybe it pops the link out of the browser into a dedicated media player which has decent codec support.

I think this is exactly what it does.

With iDevices no luck with mkv’s if I remember right, but not sure if I have even tested one. Most my files are mp4 x264.

Mostly using the ”browser” (so shitty that you can barely call it one) on my LG smart TV, and sometimes some iDevices, but I’ll consider myself lucky with codecs then. Even mkv’s play on LG without hiccups. Only small thing I miss are subtitles which these devices do not seem to support, even if I’d mux them in as a track.

What is free though is LibreOffice, or some Nextcloud document addons (to a degree) if ”cloud” is the thing.

I don’t have that kind of memory unfortunately. It seems there is similar limitation mechanism to contacts as there is for pictures on iOS, but picking each individual person I like WA to know from a list of a few hundred people is quite painful.

Oh it’s just as bad, believe me. Have restricted its access to only pre-selected photos, disabled running in background but that’s about all I can do. It has to have access to my contacts to be usable, and who knows what they do with that data.

Forgot WhatsApp there, de facto messaging app in my part of globe, be it young or old…

Nice, but the bots may not understand the joke.

And not only that but they will tag the domain with ”there is something here”, and maybe some day someone will take a closer look and see if you are all up-to-date or would there maybe be a way in. So better to just drop everything and maybe also ban the IP if they happen to try poke some commonly scanned things (like /wp-admin, /git, port 22 etc.) GoAccess is a pretty nice tool to show you what they are after.

Not at hand no, but I’m sure any of the LLMs can guide you through the setup if googling does not give anything good.

Nothing very special about all this, well maybe the subdir does require some extra spells to reverse proxy config.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

Use a reverse proxy (caddy or nginx proxy manager) with a subdomain, like myservice.mydomain.com (maybe even configure a subdir too, so …domain.com/guessthis/). Don’t put anything on the main domain / root dir / the IP address.

If you’re still unsure setup Knockd to whitelist only IP addresses that touch certain one or two random ports first.

So security through obscurity :) But good luck for the bots to figure all that out.

VPN is of course the actually secure option, I’d vote for Tailscale.

Don’t know why exactly are you downvoted but this is exactly what is going on as cars get more ”connected”, following Tesla & BYD lead. Just like with phones at the moment, everything tries to spy on you a little to tap into that sweeet targeted ad revenue, or something else.

For example I bet the insurance companies love to have some driver behaviour data about you, and the big retail likes to know where/what time you are on the move (though they already get it from the dozens of apps on your phone that have access to location data, like Google Maps).

Yeah using a USB stick is arguably not too difficult but still more difficult than state of the art OS upgrades are with the competitors. If there is no real technological hurdle to make the jump from Win to Linux require just a few clicks in a friendly GUI environment, why should we not pursue that?
