No love for DNS66? Are there better ways to block ads now?

RobotDaniel ,

I love dns66 it’s the only way to adblock on my network provider and it works great

gunpachi ,

I use nextdns in ‘private dns’ options on my android phone to block ads. This give me the option to use VPN, which I wouldn’t get if i use DNS66 or Adaway.

Can someone tell me how it compares to PiHole?

ALoafOfBread ,

How does this compare to AdAway?

RealPuyo ,

Kotatsu - manga reader ViMusic - a nice online music player NeoStore - a nice, modern f-droid front end.

gunpachi ,

Kotatsu is a good one, people often don’t recommend kotatsu. Maybe that’s because tachiyomi offers more features.

Speaking of manga readers, Komikku is also a manga reader on Linux for Gnome. It’s really awesome

torrent-csv and Amnis player instead of streaming services.

potustheplant ,

Amnis is a play store app.

TraditionalMuslim ,

Too many to choose from. But I would say NewPipe X Sponsorblock/Libretube and Squawker are the most used for me.

pineapplelover ,

I use Libretube, newpipe x sponsorblock, Liftoff, Aegis, all the Simple apps (Gallery, Draw, File Manager, etc) I use too many

Ugh, mixed up my RSS service and the app. It’s Readrops. Sorry about that.

I use KeePass and Syncthing, but for mild fun I like Lexica and StreetComplete.

Lexica is a word finding game on a grid with a timer, and it’s very customizable (size of grid, min length of words, length of timer, etc). Words can and often do cross over themselves and run in all directions. Invariably I will miss stupid obvious words, and I’m always interested to see the list of missed words at the end. They provide definitions for the ones you just don’t believe and have to click.

StreetComplete is a way to update Open Streetmap with goals and badges and all that gamification jazz. For an additional personal challenge, try updating house data without making homeowners look at you funny and/or call the cops.

Oh yeah, I use IITC-CE too, because Ingress is life. And Niantic can take a flying leap.

Skimmer ,

There’s so many I could list, I’ll just mention 2 underrated ones I don’t see mentioned as much:

  • LibreTube - Best YouTube client imo, has a very nice and modern interface, proxies videos through Piped for maximum privacy (No direct connections to Google are made), No ads/tracking, SponsorBlock + Return YouTube Dislikes, support for downloading videos, etc. It’s everything I’d want and more out of a YouTube client.
  • URLCheck - Excellent app that allows you to preview what a URL is before you click it, includes tons of features such as scanning for malware, removing any tracking parameters, upgrading links from HTTP to HTTPS, etc. I can’t recommend this app enough for the security, privacy, and general peace of mind it gives you.
lemann ,

URLCheck is extremely underrated!

It also prevents other apps from knowing what app the URL originated from (by acting as a proxy), and lets you customize the activity flags too

Immich seems cool! Its website warms it’s under active development, what do you think of it? What do you think of it compared to other gphotos alternatives?

Until recently, I was using Photoprism. I’d donated via Github a couple of times, as they were promising multi-user capability. They delivered it - behind a paid subscription model. Immich makes it available as is.

I finally took the plunge with Immich a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I haven’t really experienced any major bugs - the facial recognition is… OK. Not (yet) Google Photos good, but getting there. The machine learning has also done a recent job on object recognition. I can usually search for the main object in my ~15k of photos, and get a small enough set of results that I can reasonably quickly find the exact photo I was looking for.

I’m about to onboard my wife onto it, now that I’m satisfied (and have my backup strategy in place). That will be the next test.

The dev is very active and responsive - I posed a question in the tech support channel on the Immich Discord server, on a weekend, and he responded in about an hour with a couple of suggestions. Colour me impressed - he’ll be getting my next tech donation, for sure.

Keen to see where he plans on taking it - the app definitely needs some additional features to get closer to parity with Google Photos. Auto-sharing of recognised faces would be great (so my wife and I can auto-share pics of our daughter with each other), plus some basic search filters - dates, places, faces all in a single search would be a good place to start.

Thank you for the detailed response!
