it sounds great, sure. but it’s entirely pointless. at best you’re wasting fractions of a penny of the advertisers money. you’re not “poisoning” your data. if you click on every ad they show you, it becomes obvious what you’re attempting and they just start showing you generic ads based on your gender and demographic.
many of these advertisers brag about having thousands of data points on every person. they won’t be fooled by tricks like these.
the usable information is information that’s so widely talked about in this community that they probably expected anyone who is reading this to know what they’re talking about.
clearly there are still people who have no experience self-hosting whatsoever that we should be considerate of.
that’s nonsense. I do it myself and it works flawlessly, including on TVs.

Well, there was that dude who downloaded a 3d model of a Lambo or whatever and printed it out. Turns out that’s not illegal tho, probably because they never thought somebody would do it.
There’s also the kids in India that sculpted one from clay and painted it.
is this some kind of neoliberal “lesser evil” nonsense?
we can’t live here
Yes that’s the idea we’re going for thank you
Sure they can, but as long as you picked a secure password it ought to take them long enough to make it impossible, in practical terms. Nobody is gonna spend years trying to break the encrypted database of some random Internet user, especially when it might be five or five hundred years till you pop it, and you don’t know which until it’s done.
even if I have, I wouldn’t bother helping you out.
the people celebrating this are the same people that whine about how nobody wants to make OSS anymore. 🤣 :slopper:
Fluxer is of particular interest to the folks here at AN. We’ve talked a bit about exploring it once they finish work on federation.
I use Vaultwarden. Each synced device is a backup, so there’s no real need to keep anything further than that, but I do keep one backup of the server files anyway.
Well with Vaultwarden any synced device is a complete backup. So you don’t need to worry about version issues.
If you don’t want to bother with this, something a lot of people do is run qBittorrent with Proton in Docker. There are containers that will pipe any changes directly into qBittorrent. The one I use on my media server is from binhex. All self contained and easy to update since it’s Docker.
there’s some guides online on how to do it, you’ll need to edit some configs and also have a Redis docker up.
turn on the limiter and link token, and that’ll stop in SearXNG. this is why most instances don’t work, is they don’t turn on the existing anti-bot measures.
My searxng instance also started getting blocked or something because my queries were failing, especially for images.
your instance has been found by bots. turn on the limiter and link token, and that’ll stop. this is why most instances don’t work, is they don’t turn on the existing anti-bot measures.
find and fetch missing or upgradable media
Sounds like a solution in search of a problem, considering the other Servarr apps already do that.
the problem is, corporations like Google or Apple, depending on which mobile phone you use, already know everything about you. they know your age, your preferred gender identity, and where you live. that alone is enough for them to make very good guesses at the kinds of things you would be interested in. but the information they have on you goes much further than that.
trying to poison the well just through a single browser extension doesn’t do anything to change the data they have on you. especially since you can’t poison all the data they’re collecting on you. that extension might not even work on mobile, and even if it does, most of the information they collect doesn’t come through your browsing habits, it comes from the things you do in the apps you use.
