Woah actually sounds interesting, and this is all possible just with adguard or how did you set it up?

I am looking into setting up Home Assistant once I’ve secure an appartement but it seems kinda complicated.

My life is sadly busier than I’d like already so adding this on right now just isn’t in the list of options. Good to know tap payments don’t work with GrapheneOS means I’ll have to get a physical card again.

They still just block ads right? My issue with that is that it breaks certain sites and due to it being on router level I can’t just turn it off for that site (as far as I know, I may work in IT but I’m not thaaaat technical)

Its a great extra! Glad to be of help

I personally had issues with AdGuard as a DNS with quite a few websites breaking. I use Quad9 instead.

Same with a VPN at router level, I play games that are harsh on VPN usage and don’t want to get banned on those so can’t use it network wide atm.

Any data that’s on it is in a private cloud (infomaniak/filen) so that’s not the issue.

Its reinstalling everything, setting it all up, personalising it, etc.

I use this thing a lot and need it for work, so not being able to have a backup that I can use in case it takes longer than expected is a no-go for me.

I will never ever return to iPhones that was a horrible 1.5 years

Also I’m very pro !buyfromeu@feddit.org / !buyeuropean@feddit.uk so totally not looking at US based alternatives

To install a de-googled android version

I personally just learned automatic (had a deadline for my work, less risk this way) and the only downside is people complaining that I don’t have a manual license. “What if” is something you’ll keep hearing from people. I tried manual and it’d require me to do quite a few extra lessons and do ANOTHER exam so I’m just not doing it.

Honestly if you can, do manual. If it stresses you out too much, do automatic. Cars will go towards automatic/electric anyways so in like 10 years it really won’t matter anymore.

This really is the 1 thing stopping me from switching over now. I got a google pixel only a few months ago and don’t want to have to completely reinstall everything AGAIN already. I wouldn’t mind if I had 2 phones so always have a working one, but having to change everything on my 1 phone right now just feels too risky.

Even if you’re not pirating as ads from google can be dangerous as well: Ublock Origin + Privacy Badger + Decentraleyes + VPN

Maar een tegenstander van een ban stelt: „Boycot liever alle nutteloze rommel die uit China komt.”

(Someone against a ban says: “Boycott all the useless stuff from China”)

Why not both?

They fine people who pirate

First of all try accepting donations on your free software to get a bit of side income!

Secondly, look for companies that offer traineeships. I work in QA and basically any consultancy takes even non-IT people for their traineeship cause of the shortage we have.

Maybe something towards electrical engineering could interest you? Check for certificates/bachelors depending on how far you want to go.

As a sidenote, just try to get some sort of job even if not in IT. Being active in the job market makes you much more interesting to hire even if people tell you its not.
