They have sepiasearch to search peertube instances. The drawback is that only specific instances are searchable, because of dubious contents on some instances.

It’s been my daily driver on oneplus 6T for the past 2 years and it does the job (of a smartphone).

It’s using the microG services to provide play store apps.

It has fake location, "hide IP address " (VPN), and block app trackers with stats.

The OS updates once a month and requires a reboot.

It has an aurora-like app store to download Google play store apps. I also have fdroid on mine cause I’ve found some updates were lagging in the past.

Overall it’s a good compromise between full google and privacy, it can be cranked up on privacy by disabling microG if that’s your thing.

Some bloat cannot be removed like the notes/gallery apps and whatnot. I’m not a fan of the bliss launcher either, but I got used to it.

The thing that irritates me the most is that some of my apps cannot be added on any wall screen. Like Unciv, subsurface and some other games that I had in grouped apps have been wiped onr day and I can only find them through searching for them, or in the list of apps.

Hope that helps

Why do freetube and new pipe break at different moments in time ? Iirc, it first started for new pipe, then for a little while with pipepipe, and it’s freetubes turn.

Yes, doubling characters or numbers is common in Chinese to insist on the item.

At weddings, you will see lots of double happiness characters for example.

“Everybody” is literally the character for people that is repeated, so “yan yan”.

I like to use https://searx.neocities.org/ It randomises your search across several searx instances. It’s not always reliable as some instances are sometimes down or exceed request limit. But retrying often works. Worst case i use mojeek or ddg

A bit off topic here, but can I ask which digital store you’d recommend for buying music pls ? I know some of them only give back like 3% of the price to the artist. I wouldnt mind paying extra if it serves the artist. I’m interested in metal music of all kinds, if that’s relevant.

I dont know of an easy, clean and elegant way of doing what you ask. I wonder what happens if you edit /etc/passwd with the new name, I wouldn’t dare to try. The way I’d proceed though is to start a bare repo with my dotfiles, so if anything happens, I’m back in business with minimal configuration changes.

This is a video about bare git repo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBoLDpTWVOM&t=0

Obligatory reply since that’s exactly my specs too :P

You got me at trust

Thanks for the reply. Tried again just now and it works indeed as advertised, sorry for the noise. Maybe because i removed it from my bookmarks (i tried that until i figured there’s no shortcuts in mull). Or maybe some cache expired…

Anyway, it works indeed, thanks !

The bookmark doesn’t seem to work for me on mull browser android. I’ve added the bookmark link as a search engine:

https://searx.neocities.org/#q=%s&category_general=on

But when i use it with “test” for example, without quotes, i’m just landing on the default page. The searched text doesn’t appear in the searchbox.

Maybe i missed something ?

Been using eOS for more than 6months on my old onePlus phone. I’m quite happy with it, but i’m trying to keep my usage as frugal as possible. Their app lounge lets you access the appstore so you could do the same thing as with the pixel phone

What’s your stance on e.foundation eos: https://e.foundation/e-os/

Its a degoogled android with several privacy focused features like integrated vpn, fake location, tracker counter. Their appstore is aurora+fdroid+pwa

The os still runs the google microG service though, so i’m not sure how it would do against a proper audit…

I like cookieless, but there’s also the history saving part. So… “Forgetful” “Goldfish” “Uprooted”
