4 hours agoi mean it’s partially true… many of those weird android tv boxes have spyware loaded onto them, mostly for botnet/residential proxies and sometimes infostealers.

you wouldn’t download a television
you’re on a public forum and writing posts/comments in public which is pretty obvious, so i don’t see how that’s ‘no better’ than reddit. your votes are also public but that’s just how the fediverse works. unlike reddit everything’s (literally) transparent here, modlogs and everything.
1·15 hours agoi got some backpack with “BANGE” branding from aliexpress last year, was very cheap ($20? with coupons) and it seems to be very well made.
i think it was less than 50GB but my memory is hazy… it’s in my backup drive somewhere, i’ll make a post here if i get to upload it
yeah i occasionally do this with epubs from shadow libraries. it’s not foss but i use Lithium (com.faultexception.reader) for it. only works for epub, but it’s very lightweight/fast and not privacy invading. there’s a pro version but the free one seems to work fine, and i couldn’t find any cracked versions. having my volup btn for next page is very useful for one hand reading in mass transit.
0·20 hours agofor mobile distros theres also droidian (basically mobian with downstream kernel and halium) and maemo leste (continuation of nokia’s maemo fremantle)
maemo leste looks very interesting and mature imo
unfortunately i can’t get new batteries, the battery life isn’t good but it’s usable as i don’t really use my phone much. also have 6 replacable batteries that i carry sometimes.
for now my group will migrate to zulip and their app works on my phone, i was just trying to attempt xmpp too since it’s always great to have more options (and possibly setup xmpp as a backup to the zulip room with matterbridge on physically distant server)
cydia.vn and repo.hackyouriphone.org are the ones i use(d), seems like HYI is down rn, maybe gone? I do have a full backup from 2022 and they haven’t had updates in years so guess i should share it somewhere…
it runs like crap on my phone since it’s 12 years old. conversations.im works but it’s features can’t completely replace discord, at least for my friends.
thanks. i guess it’s as good as the other electron/web based clients on desktop, but on mobile is PWA okay to use? my phone is too old and suffers with everything but well optimized native apps, so my experience doesn’t match others’.
1·22 hours agoweird, try changing archive.is to archive.md or archive.today. /latest/{url} redirects to the latest for that url, and /{url} redirects to the list of captures for that url
i believe it really depends on the region you’re on sadly :(
i live in a fairly small country and i usually source my drives from a marketplace in some server related internet forum, maybe there’s something similar. i guess you gotta try stuff like ebay, facebook marketplace or your equivalent local 2nd hand market platform.
AFAIK iknowwhatyoudownload gets their data from DHT and public trackers. i’ve also had numerous cases where I only seeded literal linux ISOs or some music and have weird porn or random tv show episodes shown on that site from my IP which I had only one machine connected for a fairly long time, not behind CGNAT. it appears to be that some public trackers sometimes report bogus data for some reason, claming some random IP is seeding some random file when they’re in fact not. you can see many items on public indexers where the seeder/leecher numbers shown aren’t accurate (mostly >0 when it’s a completely dead torrent), i suspect this is also the same reason.
2·22 hours agowtf is that tabloid asshat :/ poor kana
exact same first and last seen timestamp, probably bogus data reported by the tracker not a legit download
lol no, these smart watches are powerful as older smartphones, their stock os is already android/linux based.
KeePassXC ftw
yes, things like age/gender/location/etc are the things that aren’t private on reddit but mostly are on fediverse. your instance admin could see your IP and use GeoIP for location but that’s it, a simple VPN can solve that. and unlike reddit where they do targeted ads and resell data, fedi instance operators are mostly hobbyists and I doubt that really happens… if you’re really worried you could just use throwaway accounts with a vpn and remain private.
