There is leetx (in leetspeak) to. I only pirate in there basically, only when I’m shopping for games to discover that I go to fitgirl.

Oh, and there were cases when IGG released games with malware in them a long time ago, so be warned.

Very cool! I’m going to check it later!

Also, an interesting thing is using systemd-resolved for DNS-over-TLS or hosts blocking.

I configure it to my nextdns account and podman uses it for all requests, so I can block dns records from anywhere and use some tracking, mining, NSA, minimum domain age, etc, blocklists.

I got corrected some time ago about this, it seems it’s possible, but not advisable. Like, if zram started, zswap will disable itself.

If you want to test zswap, you could create a swap file, disable systemds zram service and put the zswap variables into the kernel variables, also checking if swappiness is at the normal values, instead of the tuned ones for zram.

Yeah, I used zram on the past, it’s really good, but some OOMs and stutters under high memory pressure made me change to zswap with lz4, it’s a very intelligent cache for these high memory use scenarios. But mounting a directory directly to memory is a very needed feature for zswap hahaha.

I can see it consuming a bit more, yes, but i didn’t measure it to know for sure.

My E5-2667 v4 (8 cores, higher frequency) using almost nothing of energy while watching some asmr on freetube and responding:

Edit: it has a higher tdp than the 2650 v4, and has 16gb of ddr4 ram

mainly the v4 (comparing to other server cpus)

It consumes less energy than the other server cpus from intel that are generally available.

If you want a lot of cores, there are xeon kits on aliexpress and other websites, xeon e5-2650 v4 or v3 has a lot of cores and consume very few energy, mainly the v4 (comparing to other server cpus), it has a lot of pci express lanes, etc.

Maybe the data brokers might delete based on the requests, but it seems this is a lot deeper than anything the GDPR could fix as the data would be reuploaded and updated, because the data comes from the “analytics” and “diagnostics” SDKs, being uploaded to data brokers and unified under the advertisement ID from google and apple devices/browsers.

I think this could only be broken by not using the advertisement ID (that was promised to help anonimize the advertisement data) and block all the requests by DNS blocking on the whole device, like with Ublock Origin + Hosts file + pihole/nextdns/adguard, etc.

Edit: also blocking cwsystem.com, cwtapp.com, cobwebsapp.com and subdomains, because they can host malware made from the company that owns this system.

On one of my phones I do this plus delete/disable everything from google, except play services and play services framework (with everything disabled in there, only cloud messaging enabled). For apps on the play store I just download from aurora store.

The only thing I needed the play store for was to register 2FA for the government app on that phone. On the rest, it didn’t make a difference.

On another phone I use microg and it works fine too. I think attestation (safetynet) and disabled root and dev tools will make everything work fine, I put my hosts file using adb in recovery mode and no application has noticed. No banking app, nothing noticed.

I didn’t know that Android would block installs from “unauthorized sources” using play protect, I thought it would be hardcoded into play services or even on the android images.

Edit: for such a “secure” implementation, etc, it seems very weak, ngl
