Same for me, but that glorified auto complete helps a lot.

Under the Privacy settings, scroll down to the Website Advertising Preferences section. It’s the only setting in that section.

It seems like you’re assuming that file modified times are fixed…? Every piece of metadata like that can be altered. If you took a picture and posted it somewhere, I could take it and alter it to my liking, then add in some fake exif data as well as make it look like I modified the image before your actual original version.

You can’t use any of that metadata to prove anything.

Exif data can be faked.

Isn’t that basically what Fairphone is?

It says on their main page… it’s basically self hosted GitHub.

+1 for AdGuard

The main reason is that it lets me access my home network. So if I want to watch a movie or something I have stored on my NAS, I can do that without exposing that service to the internet. Or if I want to Remote Desktop into one of my computers. And it’s a decent way to protect Internet traffic while on an untrusted public network.

I used to use the AdGuard app on my iPhone, but 1) I found for whatever reason it didn’t seem to work as well as the standalone self hosted version. The way it works on phones is that it does some sort of local VPN trickery, and for whatever reason it’s like it would temporarily stop working. Who knows. But 2) now I just have a single instance of AdGuard to manage and get its benefits on all my devices. I don’t need to maintain lists or rules for the one running at home and separately maintain rules in the phone app version.

I have AdGuard set up at home and OpenVPN so I can connect to my home network and route all my traffic through it. Gives the same ad blocking ability but without the need to travel with it.

And not to mention liability issues if you share a network like that with neighbors. If they start doing illegal stuff while connected to your router, you are on the hook for it.

I just got a new all AMD laptop to replace my Nvidia laptop for this same reason.

I have a Synology NAS that holds all my important data. Then it does nightly backups to Synology C2.

I’ve been pretty happy with Mlem lately.
