thanks, kinda thought so, gonna use netguard when using it, more important than the vpn
Appreciate and upvote every reply to my comments/posts if I can detect any effort being put into it; even if I think you completely missed what I tried to say or strongly disagree with your opinion.

birdcat@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•How to replace or open blocked embedded youtube videos2·5 months agoi dont, as I came to the conclusion that medium mode is too much work and not worth it (especially on mobile). Got Phoenix and manually imported some of the blocklists into Ironfox (for example “⛔ yokoffing’s click2load filters” does what is described in the x-post you linked, but as you noted, you will still connect youtube
birdcat@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•How to replace or open blocked embedded youtube videos1·5 months agodoesn’t work I think. block embedded stuff and make it so that when you click on the placeholder, it opens FreeTube
Was wondering about that stuff too! I don’t live in my (safe) county of origin, but my VPN provider is from there (and I’m like 80℅ sure that provider is a CIA front, but anyway) and it’s the only country I ever got arrested once or twice, where they have a file about me and whatnot.
Whenever I visit, I immediately get phone calls and letters about some kind of “military tax” that I never paid. Takes like them like 30 minutes to understand that I’m aware and don’t plan to pay anything, even tho I actually need to and will land in military prison!!! (for an afternoon lol, sure pick me up, waiting, will be here all week).
Then I also don’t seriously care about hiding anything from the country where I actually live, yet I do it all the time and insist on “anonymity” when e.g. defending that countries policies online or simply share my love for that country.
Am I stupid for using that VPN provider? Probably, but I just want my Apple Music to be streamed lossless, which only works with that VPN.
In the end I think my biggest stupidity was to start to believe that I even have something like a treat model, or that its worth to invest 2 afternoons only so creep JS cannot remember me anymore, wow, what a success! 🙄
Uh, sorry for the ramblings, it’s holiday and I already had a beer. If you actually do have a treat model of any kind – take care, stay safe, and never ever put your safety into anything from 🇨🇭

still dont get it. so its from the image? in your comment here i only see two of those “broken jpg” symbols, is that good?
is it also good withouth an account? i dont want to comment there but subscribe to subs. using stealth now but the ui is a bit meh.
not thats its private, but the virtual cards from wise are nice. can be frozen and sometimes you can change the billing addeess and “save” taxes.
birdcat@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever caught a marketing or spam email sent using one of your email aliases?2·1 year agonever in all those many many years. imo the main benefit is disabling mails from the corp u give it and only enable when needed, so i blocked thousands of unwanted mails.
and with addy.io all gets pgp encrypted, which is another major benefit.
birdcat@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Privacy@Lemmy.ml: On Simplelogin, are there any practical differences between public and premium domains?7·1 year agoPremium domain is only available when you have premium, because fewer people pay and fewer people use it, so there is less abuse and the domain name has better reputation, so when you public domain is not working, using the premium domain may be able to register.-

ah crazy, i made it work with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS!
For some reason i had to unplug the PC before restarting. Then it got found as UEFI and could boot.
The full installation on the USB was a bit dirty, as i put the Live Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine and installed it from there. So i typed the full disk encryption and login passwords in Windows … but I wont be too paranoid about that one now 😅
ok, appreciate your time and insight. thanks!
seems to involve disabling secure boot, not happy with that. will cause more paranoia 😬
i dont seem to have that function. anyway cannot rly see the harm with that app and the vpn block solution.
