Reddit ain’t going anywhere fast.

If r/selfhosted has to rely on reddit as it can’t be fucked selfhosting, what chance do other subs have.

I have found Lemmy selfhosted communities excellent, they are not a large as Reddit but there are plenty knowledgeable people, often seflhosting their own little reddit.

Frank Olson is who you are thinking about I believe

There is Open Contacts which also acts as a dialer if you want it too. It creates its own database which could be useful if you don’t want other apps to have your contacts.

It works fine, I use that or Koler

New communities pop up, and older ones that didn’t have many posts sometimes get revived. So if I have the time and inclination I look at All after my Subscribed.

They actually did that with the SimplePhone. Last time I looked the pages were down but I know I archived them on the wayback machine.

They made lots of promises, including that a downloadable ROM would be available, the whole thing quickly crashed and burned.

Reddit had some pretty extensive threads about it. The whole thing seemed like a grift (it was) and convinced me to dump all their apps.

Anyway, if this is something you want to do you could check those threads, I know people linked to the phone they were using (from Alibaba) and the source code was on Codeberg iirc.

You can add any filter list you want to it. You can also use GreaseMonkey user scripts.

I still prefer Mull, but I keep Cromite installed

For me SimpleX does everything I need. Unified push would be nice, and would address battery usage. I don’t need or want message sync, so that’s not an issue.

They all have tradeoffs, so it’s just a matter of your priorities. For instance I’m OK with the higher battery drain because it’s not using Google.

The one I had in my hotspot did not have a phone number attached. It was provisioned by the IMSI. This plan was cheaper than using my phone as a hotspot. I assumed that there was no phone number so you couldn’t game the system by getting this cheaper deal and popping the Sim into a phone.

So you are asking if this can be done? Some providers have data only Sims like what you get in a hotspot, or you could turn on do not disturb.

Is this a statement, or a question?

How did you happen to find that?

There’s also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_caves_of_Phnom_Sampeau

Near Battambang. The caves have a skylight and victims were either killed, usually with a knife or blow to the head, and thrown in, or thrown in alive.

I don’t have any experience with AhaDNS Blitz.

With RethinkDNS I have had occasional failures on their Max resolver, changing to Sky then works. That has only happened two times though, and was fixed with a few hours.

Sorry I can’t be more help.

I really like the block all apps by default. I read release notes, download something, scan with App Manager. If that’s all good then it can connect to the internet.

And I use the Wikipedia app so I can block intake-analytics.wikimedia.org and the app still works.

ControlD is good, I have it setup at work. Their paid plans allow more fine control.

They can also be used to unlock geoblocking both on free and paid plans.

Coworkers need TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter, otherwise I would block that crap too.

Have a look at RethinkDNS, https://docs.rethinkdns.com/dns/ their wiki is pretty good. They have recommended block lists, and also have a feature that let’s you search inside block lists to see what they actually cover.

If you are on Android they have a companion app, you do not need to use it though. The app adds a good firewall (capture and redirect port 53 for example) and detailed logs if you want. You can block domains and specific IP addresses.

It’s all FOSS too

Did you look in about:config ? Maybe the flag for Pocket is there but turned off.

I’m on mobile now otherwise I’d check

It’s not just about telling time though. It’s about representing things in a different way. Correlating one thing to another, and making someone think until the representation automatically becomes the output. You are forced to see things in a different way, which is what learnding is all about.
