Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work by darkstar in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Using Chrome and uBlock for work, no issues.

Firefox and uBlock for personal, no issues.

Try only using uBlock, uninstall all other extensions. Works great for me on both Firefox and Chrome.

What Are Your Favorite FOSS Android Apps? by darkstar in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Love Aegis and Bitwarden, but here's another one that's a must if you're on stock android:

NetGuard

Blocks network access for apps and processes on your phone, great way to ensure apps aren't calling home all the time.

Should I glue my SIM tray shut? by darkstar in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[-] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 months ago

Uhm, I don't care about the device or the SIM card?... I care about my data, and I care about remotely wiping the device before they can try access the device if they are even trying to access it in the first place?

Sure they can turn it off, but if I activate the command to wipe the device the command will execute as soon as the device is powered on.

This is not the case if they remove the SIM. If they remove the SIM the connect is lost and the device can remain on and be tampered with, with my data still entact.

I don't "keep asking for proof" I literally asked in one comment? You seem very angry about people asking questions online, maybe you should do some introspection or something idk

Should I glue my SIM tray shut? (sh.itjust.works)

I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

Question: 3rd Party App Request (sh.itjust.works)

As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC? by darkstar in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[-] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

As a cinematographer, h.265 is superior in every way. That being said I don't mind watching other formats, as long as their is a reasonable bitrate I'll even watch 720p content

I read a post about it but the post was deleted and I can't find anything on google. What I gathered from the post before deletion was its some kind of religious thing but it scares most people?

I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

Hello world, I'm looking for motorsport reruns or recordings, specifically F1 and MotoGP. I'd like to watch the entire race but not live, maybe 2 or 3 days after.

Are there any resources like this?

Not sure when the site went down, but I only noticed now. I tried to do my research to get more information but with the migration from reddit to lemmy all my usual sources are scattered.

Does anyone else have any more details on this?
