A year or so I turned off targeted ads from Google. I very quickly noticed an increase in ads with anime tiddies.

I guess Google sees a correlation between people who worry about privacy, and people who are likely to click on anime tiddies…

I’m nervous about how long it’ll be until those stop working

Going from 256GB -> 1TB is $400. That’s insanity. A 1TB NVME drive is less than $100 these days.

For me the real value is that a good password manager makes it easier to not use “login with Google” for everything

1. Ditch Chromium.
2. Use a Password Manager instead of “log in with Google/Facebook/whatever”
3. Keep tabs on Mobile App permissions and revoke as many as you possibly can. I revoke location permissions from every single app except Navigation apps, which have to ask for location permissions. If possible, remove apps in favor of Native Alpha / Hermit web apps

I just bought in to mulvad today via Tailscale, so far so good, I like it!

The sheer amount of pro-communist/pro-china comments is insane here. Plus the number of giant emojis that spam up the whole comment feed. Honestly, most of my real issues come down strictly to Hexbear users. A lot of their behavior completely ruins the platform for me.

That and the lack of fanbases for the things I like. There’s very little Star Wars or Halo fan presence here. Feels like Star Trek is the only fandom with any presence here, so I have to go back to reddit for those things.

TandoorRecipes is a great little recipe-hosting service, and it’s available as an app on Unraid. No more saving recipes in my notes app, I actually have nicely-formatted ingredient lists and instructions.
