Out of curiosity: Are you running nix-ops with nix-secrets or how did you cover orchestration & credentials?

Best I can do is a Firefox extension (Decentraleyes)

damn, how did this never cross my path? O.o not only does it remove shorts, paid content is finally gone too.

finally yt is enjoyable again - thx a lot 😁

For the love of <insert-deity>, please somebody have an answer to that! After ads and sponsorings, shorts are the third most annoying thing on YouTube. Tubular (newpipe-fork) helps with the first two, yet getting rid of shorts seems impossible.

sure, there might be ways around it, like Indivious or a filtered RSS feed over all subscriptions… on desktop, there’s at least BlockTube but for Android I’m still searching/waiting/hoping.

Have you checked IronFox?

For real? ViMusic is archived since October '24… same goes for RiMusic which was archived… yesterday? Ok, I wasn’t even aware of that - last I knew was that it became a local-only client when the dev gave up fighting against the constant api changes on youtube side.

Anyhow, glad it somehow still works for you - it’s been a great app.

Not sure why nobody mentioned it yet, but I switched to Metrolist a while back when RiMusic/ViMusic stopped working. Never had to look back and never had issues so far.

Strong assumption it’d be self-diagnosed… the heck?

Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though…

I wouldn’t know how/where to evem start if it wasn’t for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me… I basically:

• watch the whoöe topic once
• do all the comptia practice questions
• identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
• watch those (and more) videos again
• rinse & repeat until the last week
• switch to practice exams for the last week
• hope for the best

I’ll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though…

I’m currently studying for a network certification: 540 pages where I alread know like 70% of the content but am missing some specific (and important) details. Having to go through all of this without loosing focus and thus missing those details is… challenging, to say the least.

yep, thats the way

I am in this picture and I dont like it 🤣

in it’s base version, Revolut is free, yet they surely try to convince you to pay for a paid plan, use their depot, and other stuff… However the only downside worth mentioning is getting less interest on the savings account. Or did you refer to them being a UK bank? In that case: Revolut exists in multiple countries - my account is in Lithuania, yet still fully managed in €. They nowadays also have a german banking license (giving you a DE-IBAN). Accounts themself can be in on of, I dunno… 33 different currencies or so?

Another option worth mentioning would be Trade Republic, however I’ve never tried them myself.

I actually went with Revolut as my Bank, using their virtual credit cards for online payment - they offer a virtual one-time CC as well which details reset after each succesfull transaction. Thow way there’s at least no 3rd party besides CC provider and my bank snooping on my transactions.

Well… kinda the same as when Microsoft was forced to give its users the “choice” for a different browser. Took ages to implement and still, Microsoft tried to get around it. Just look how easy it is to purge Edge from Win11 or to even replace it with something else for links embedded in the o/s itself.

It’s not about enforcing an inferior product - it’s about enforcing the freedom of choice. The way google was forcing its services down everybodies throat led to a market where people didn’t even know that something besides gMaps exists. Now competitors at least have some sort of chance.

I know the Feeling 😅

damn… this one hits way to close 😂
