Yeah, I had a Android application installed recently which strangely enough tried to reach my vaultwarden DNS? That sounded sketchy AF and just blocked it, removed it and cleaned every trace of it…

From what I understand, F-droid regularly audits a few new apps for malicious code

That’s a good point, but how can a malicious code be add to a source code from github? I mean if you only use trusted applications repos (most of them are already on f-droid anyway) there shouldn’t be any concern right?

But reading from the link you posted there’s some chance of a MITM attack and send a malicious payload directly to Obtainium? (Correct me if I’m wrong).

Github is not neccesarily the same source used to generate their binaries.

Didn’t knew that :/

Thanks for sharing your knowledge !

Care to elaborate? I do not fully understand the meaning of your claim :/. I use Obtainium for everything and haven’t had any issues until now.

Still curious from your perspective the meaning of what you said.

Oho? Didn’t knew that. Thanks for the info ! Do you know what caused the residential IP block ?

• Outside of EU?
• To much API calls from the same source?
• Something else?

I mean, I don’t see way they would block residential IPs with normal api calls from the same source. Or are they full enforcing the account thing on everyone?

Self-hosted piped/invidious still working great if you want to follow this route. Everything from no-ads/sponsor block/comments works without any issues.

One downside however, is that you’re exposing your own public IP to Google/YouTube :/.

That’s exactly how I feel… I see my parents being addicted to YouTube shorts/amazon/TEMU… And it makes me really sad to see them in that addiction state :(.

Those things should be illegal…

Clearly this ban isn’t about that, it’s about a Chinese government doing something that the US government only wants US companies to be able to do.

The only thing I’d recommend against are pre-built NASes. Theyre proprietary AF and so overpriced for what you get if you don’t need the handholding of the consumer NAS software.

The moment people realize a NAS is just a small factor desktop with a lot of space with good Ethernet speed, their eyes widen up the same way people realized the cloud is just someone else’s computer.

I found out that you need to allow All files access for Gallery or that info box won’t show up. See my response somewhere in the post :)

I found the solution after digging their GitHub repo.

You have to allow All files access for Gallery:

Can confirm, I do not have that option. Latest version with Obtainium.

Thanks :) got it !

Yep Freelancer was awsome ! Online fights were epic !

Going in the Nomads sector to drop their weapon or looking for a hidden ship wreck in a meteor cloud or just chilling in the empty/cold space and blasting pirates you encounter.

The single player story was very enjoyable and was not that bad for the time. Makes me sad it’s in the hands of Microsoft’s cold case :(.

Damn I miss this game !

Yeaaah I tried the last one, while It comes close and was fun to play, I missed the free universe roaming even if it was mostly empty (like the real deal xD).

I’m not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves… Even the story was good and entertaining.

Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have “fun”. I miss freelancer’s simplicity and space fights…

Edit

Yeah okay while writing I get what you meant !

Yeah, so does smoking tobacco ! I assure you it has been debunked by Marlboro ! Smoking is healthy !

I’m not sure I get your comment… I learned that crossing different official and reliable sources was the best way to get most of any information bit. Taking the overlapping information as the most reliable one.

Care to simplify what you’re meaning, so even stupid me can understand?

Thank you !

Haha kinda scary !! XD

Yeah I tried readeck and while it does better than the others it still doesn’t use single file (or I missed some configuration?)

I do like it because it even transcribes YouTube videos and that’s very neat ! However, I work lot on superuser, stack*,ask* pages which aren’t properly scraped and render with their comments.

The only perfect working solution I found was singlefile + Zotero.

Not a single self-hosted read-it later use single file in their backend. I wonder why… single file works flawlessly on every site !

The only one that works similarly is linking.
