Mushroom fun fact: all mushrooms are edible, but some only once.

Yes, but you don’t get your logged in feed (or at least it was that way when I tried it). That was a deal breaker for me.

Brave browser also blocks YouTube ads. I’m not advocating for it over Orion (I’m using Orion + Ublock Origin & Sponsor block), but Brave also does work.

You can buy Canadian VoIP numbers from VoIP.ms

My wife had an iPhone XR. She loved it. It was all she needed. However it was only 64 GB and she ran out of storage. If it had an expandable storage option she would still be using it. Your comment is daft.

The downside to Keepass is it is not self hosted, as in it’s designed to run locally per device. Yes, you can put the database file on a network and have multiple clients from different operating systems access the database, but you will end up with collisions and database issues. Ask me how I know.

Running cross platform Keepass (and it’s various forks) is absolutely doable, but it is not as seemless as BitWarden. I’m running self hosted VaultWarden and I’m hoping to run it for a long time as it’s much easier than Keepass.

It blocks the YT ads. Watch video, cast to TV. Isn’t that what your original question was? I mentioned SmartTube in my 1st reply as it’s the best adblocked YT experience on a TV for sure, but it does require an Android based set top box or TV OS. If you are in an Apple ecosystem, use brave just for casting YT to TV.

Me either, but it is effective at blocking YouTube ads on iOS for free 🤷🏼‍♂️

There are other paid options, and other side loading options as well. But Brave is easy and it works. I only use it for youtube.com on my iPad, so I’m personally fine with allowance for that.

Use SmartTube on Android TV and Fire TV. Cast from Brave browser on Apple TV or Roku.

I personally recommend the stable version. It has integrated Adblock and sponsorblock. The dev is very responsive when issues arise like YouTube breaking stuff.

Any reason you recommend the beta instead of the stable version?

These days they would be using an esim rather than a physical sim.

For simple free ad blocking, you can use Brave browser.

For paid options, there are Safari extensions (I haven’t tried these but have read about them): Vinegar does ad blocking and there is also a SponsorBlock extension.

It is, but like so many things in our current landscape, it’s also exhausting.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I haven’t had that happen to me yet with videos I’m looking for again having gone private.

I’m also not interested in crappy, privacy-invading, ad-shoving YouTube apps, which is why I mentioned SmartTube. In case you haven’t heard of it, it’s FOSS and has AdBlock & SponsorBlock integrated. It’s designed for TV use. If Tube Archivist fits your need though, that’s great.

I’m genuinely curious: do you re-watch enough YT videos that you need to archive your subscriptions? Or have I misunderstood the use of the plugin? I’m using SmartTube for TV YT content and it’s fantastic.

if you have weird double monitors

Is having more than one monitor “weird” to most Linux distros? I guess I’m a huge weirdo for having 3 then…

Sounds great, I installed it last night and I’m looking forward to using it 👍🏻

This sounds great. Anyone have experience using it?

You still have a Netflix subscription after they cracked down on account password sharing? I admire your will power.
