Subscribing to YouTube channels using RSS
Although I unsubscribed from all YouTube channels and removed the app from my phone, I now try to consume videos in a more controlled way. I now subscribe to channels using my feed reader Miniflux.
It seems like each YouTube channel has a channel ID, consisting of a random string, and an optional username. I found the following methods to work to subscribe to a channel:
If the YouTube channel has a custom username (the URL of the channel is https://www.
I've been thinking of buying a used OnePlus One to run UB Ports' Ubuntu Touch on it. Anyone has any experience running UT on that device? If so, how's the experience been?
I've always been an LTS Ubuntu guy. However, as Canonical seems to be getting cozier and cozier with Microsoft, I've decided to move two of my laptops away from Xubuntu: one's running Manjaro Xfce; the other, MX Linux 19. So far the experience's been great on both distros. We'll see where this takes...
My stay in shape scheme is very simple: step one, constantly lift heavy desktop computers off shelves for mantainence and tinkering. Step two, get so involved in said tinkering that I forget to eat.
@Katsudon @Ghosty I finally got the Moto G7. Played with it for a week to check that all the hardware worked properly. Then I nuked Android and replaced it with Lineage. The Lineage 16.0 build for this device didn't play well with OpenGApps. I had to reflash the device and I got it working with MindTheGapps. Totally worth it. Best mobile experience I've had. Thanks guys, once more, for suggesting good devices and being so helpful.
Thanks for suggesting the Linksys WRT line,
@Ghosty! Got this little used WRT AC1200 for 50 bucks, replaced the stock firmware with OpenWrt and it's been awesome! I love this instance and the people who make it great! 💪🏻👍🏻
So I've been playing around with OpenWrt on my EdgeRouter X and it's been great. So great that I've been thinking about getting a good budget router with wireless support, putting OpenWrt on it, turning my ISP's router into a bridge to the outside Internet and just letting this new router handle everything on my home network. Any suggestions on any good budget routers to do this? My budget is 150 USD at max.
With all this talk about PIA being sold to a non-privacy respecting company, has anyone used Mullvad or ProtonVPN? If so, how has your experience been?
Been playing around with some hardware I have at home. First, I replaced EdgeOS with OpenWrt on my home office EdgeRouter X. It's worked like a charm. Then, I took a Raspberry Pi 3B, put a 64GB USB drive on it as external storage and installed Syncthing. As Syncthing doesn't support either client-side or server-side encryption natively, I'm just using CryFS to encrypt all data on my Linux boxes before it's syncrhonized to the Pi. Thanks to all the people who make using these projects possible.
Just had a power failure when wiping the disk data on my Dell laptop with secure erase (via BIOS). Now the laptop won't even start and just sits there as though it were dead. Bad luck.
