This isn't really true. Firefox + uBlock origin works fine on the desktop and on mobile. You don't need to use the official YT app. (It is true thought that NewPipe is often broken).

I'm in the same boat. I never see ads anywhere (and not just on the web: I never watch regular TV (I don't even have a TV), never listen to ads-supported radio stations, etc.) How people put up with ads is a complete mystery.

It adds a GUI to Docker so that you can manage your containers from a web page instead of the cli (create, configure, start/stop, etc.) You don't need it if you know Docker well but it's a nice to have.

You're right, but I'm not really after "security". It's not like I'm hosting state secrets. I may move to tailscale though, which would be the same thing without exposing anything publicly. Besides I already us

Docker with Portainer is really simple and much more straightforward to use than having to remember what services run on what ports, etc. I have been self hosting a bunch of apps and web services on an Asustor for a couple of years now, wit

Navidrome is a server. You can use it directly by connecting to it in a browser, but its point is to serve the music to a client, of which many exist for both iOS and Android.

I'm in the opposite situation. I only listen to old songs I already own (and even then, not often, as I often prefer silence -- I only listen to music actively, not passively when doing something else), so the cost of Spotify felt like

Navidrome is really simple to set up in a Docker container, if you already have some kind of system for self-hosting. If not, it's a good opportunity to start!

I did the same as the OP except I use Amperfy on iOS and Tempo on Android. Navidrome is super simple to setup and finds new music immediately. Never breaks. It's not exposed to the Internet directly but via a Cloudflare tunnel (like th

Yes but in Genesis 3, 20 (at the end of this very story), it is said: " Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living." That's not dismissive at all. It can be argued that Paul brought his ow

> "Magi" were priests of Zoraster That's the etymology of the word, but there is no indication in the gospel of Matthew (the only one to even mention this) that it's a reference to Persia. That would be like saying

I don't know if it's sad; it's a different story, it's a kind of riff on the same themes. In Genesis III, it's necessary for Adam and Eve to acquire knowledge and leave the garden, because in so doing they have sex

Not sure what the quote has to do with anything here, but it's a as good an opportunity as ever to say that large parts of the "Old Testament" draw most of its inspiration from the code of Hammurabi ("an eye for an eye,

Ok -- but then the word 'protect' is too ambiguous and overused, and we should find a better one.

As a user, I want to be enabled / to be able to do more things with a piece of software than what I could do without it. I do NOT want to be "protected".

> in this world where streaming is the norm Subscribing to Spotify is feeding the beast. And so is not blocking ads on YT.

One answer to this madness is to starve the beast: never buy any music or any content from an established company. Torrent everything. It may not work at all, but at least you can tell yourself you're not helping the bastards.

Cognitive load is an important concept in aviation. It is linked to the number of tasks to run and the number of parameters to monitor, but it can be greatly reduced by training. Things you know inside and out don't seem to consume as

Paul's writings largely precede the gospels, so he wouldn't have needed to "change" them. They were written later. He could have drafted them himself for all we know.
