I don't use any, so I'm curious what the community thinks

yeah I suppose that's the crux of the issue. Some want "more numbers" to view their post whilst not really engaging the !askandroid (or !android) community otherwise :/

edit: clarity

[-] ladfrombrad 2 points 3 hours ago

Well yeah, but like I also said over on Matrix this post of yours should really include the prior ROM's you've used/problems you encountered to spark more discussion?

It's a bit of a cul-de-sac of a post to be honest.

I don't think much has even been removed here but there is also something else that occurred to me.

Direct image links. Users just dumping a screenshot of their "problem" and then just scooting off with not much context and why we asked them over on r/Android for them to at least contain that image in a .self post, and then describe what they've already done to try and resolve their issue etc.

Like I said over on Matrix, this is the bit that would bother me

I think the one thing to take into account is if !android did grow to silly levels (I joined r/Android when it was at ~1000 users) when you have 2 million users you do need a degree of a separation

Help vampires while I like to try and help, there's too many of you 🙈

Similar to this bollocks we have in the UK, stopping Internet users accessing content leads to one or two things.

Geo proxies to bypass it, or some poor soul downloading malware hosted to fill that gap. Stupid stupid stupid.

Rumours are a fundamental part of the news cycle, whether it be Android or whatever, because a fair amount of the time they turn out to be facts?

Depends on how you currently download your bounty, and if it's currently via torrents / public trackers like I do and you don't get angry nastygrams from your ISP (Britbong here), you're good to go?

If not however use of a VPN is recommended and you could go one further actually and buy yourself Usenet access, which means you don't need no VPN and you're rock and roll.

From what I recall thou you Aussies have lots of anti-pirate groups being knobheads so probably wise to hide your traffic? arrr

I've told qbit to exclude those files and many other extensions from someone's helpful comment on here previously, but the stack keeps on grabbing and seeding them, which the latter I'm a little unhappy about sharing malware.

While all the boxes on my network have no sign of Windows to get exploited it does worry me about another family members arrr stack because there is a Windows laptop down there, but thankfully not used for media consumption.

Help?


edit: big thanks to kiszkot@feddit.nu for pointing me in line separators instead of comma separated exclusions!

I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

Was aware of the 7726 short code for spammers

but never heard of 159 before.

Heads up?

You'd think they'd include an ethernet port on the device itself.

Or, hopefully they include a power brick with a RJ45 port. WiFi for streaming large high bitrate files is less than ideal especially if it's touted as a set top streaming box.

I seem to be suffering from the above bug

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

but it only seems to pervade if I'm using Tailscale to VPN ~~home~~ to my exit node at a family members house?

Is Google / YT blocking the use of VPN's here / anyone else experiencing this?

Starting with version 0.19.0 voting also counts as being active.

aka, the lurkers 👀

I've always upvoted both posts that are on topic to the community and always to people who take the time out of their day to reply.

It's like common courtesy to me and votes are like free confetti anyways.

So I suppose the OP's figures are, off.
