Oddbean new post about login | logout @fc501b69 I'll eventually try something like #CalyxOS, #LineageOS or #GrapheneOS. And thanks for the recommendation, I just found #NextDNS too. Put that on my router to see how it works with the Roku in addition to my phone. Getting there slowly but surely. Posteo email, nextdns, looking into nextcloud for photos.
@2779c0ed I've been using 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.3 for the longest time, but NextDNS looks pretty cool. If you get a Pixel phone, #CalyxOS is very beginner-friendly. Well, the install process isn't as beginner-friendly as #GrapheneOS' web installer, but it's still pretty easy. Download the win/lin/mac executable and run it with your phone connected, follow the prompts. Just make sure you have ~4GB space in /tmp for staging. (I usually have to comment /tmp tmpfs from fstab when installing calyx)
@2779c0ed Also, check out something like TrackerControl or DDG's tracker protection mode. It uses a loopback virtual VPN to filter out network connections you don't want. It's great for devices where you're not able to install a de-googled OS, like my Kindle tablet.
@fc501b69 Yes, I was using ddg. It was ridiculous that it blocked like 30,000 requests in a week.
@2779c0ed ¡Holy Frijoles! I need to switch to DDG!
@fc501b69 I was wrong, it blocked a lot more. Most from Samsung wallet/pay. My only criticism is that you can't get a better breakdown than what's in the screenshot, so I can't verify what was actually blocked. https://mastodon.online/@mfjurbala/110617204262531864
@2779c0ed Ah, #TrackerControl has a better breakdown
