KMC e9 chains hold up really well on an ebike with a 190Nm/1700W motor, in my experience of trying a few.

How is TPM involved in making sure you don’t own things? It certainly improves security (other than the poorly made ones at least)

Even if it has an IPv6 address that can’t route, it’s odd that the OS isn’t falling back to IPv4.

But disabling IPv6 in the OS should fix it, as this is not a docker problem.

You can use ADB and Universal Android De-bloater to disable them completely: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/releases

It sounds like maybe it’s removing the actual search query part of the URL?

Because swisscows.com has no trackers in the URLs for searching or clicking on results.

The tax is only 20%, like you get to keep the other 80%. That sounds pretty good to me.

They do that too, because they generate a unique virtual card number each time.

Agreements with payment processors are needed to process payments on platforms like that, so it’s not a feasible thing for a small open source project to pull off IMO.

If you just want limits on virtual cards, some credit cards have that built in already without needing a third party involved, Citi for example.

If a port is forwarded in NAT and an application is listening, outside traffic can reach it directly without the application needing to initiate a connection first.

That web page is 24MB and took over 11s to load on a gigabit connection and fast PC, to show some text with a font that I find very hard to read.

87 individual .js files !

24MB to read some text written by an LLM just makes me sad about the current state of things. Especially since it reads like it was written by one, with the buzzwords and run on sentences that don’t always make sense.

I’d rather read someones opinions and thoughts as they wrote them, even if that means it’s harder to understand or has less content.

One of the first things I enable, along with blocking location, microphone, and camera.

I doubt it would affect anything, it takes a very large magnet to damage a HDD from outside the casing.

For what it’s worth there are smartwatches with good battery life too, my Garmin Venu 2 lasts at least a week with sleep tracking, workout tracking, and some GPS use through the week.

Backblaze B2 for storage, and I host Healthchecks myself at home.

As I understand it you can do USB-C at a basic 5V level with 2 resistors, and for a watch that would be plenty of power.

Referral tracking with the URL is fine IMO, it’s useful for someone running a site to see what other sites they are getting traffic from, and it doesn’t really affect my privacy.

I have noticed the RSS feed thing, I assume they want to get site traffic and are preventing people from reading with a feed reader or something?

Are you trying to access the domain from inside your own network that it forwards to? If so that may not work due to the way NAT works.

Try from your cellphone data plan to verify.

Opnsense is also great, and has a webUI for easier setup.

Healthchecks is incredibly nice for this kind of thing, it’ll notify you if it doesn’t receive a ‘success’ ping on whatever interval you specify.

I use it for all my Restic backups.

So I wouldn’t put Pihole on the internet, but instead set up a Wireguard VPN on your devices and access Pihole via that.

Then you can use the dynamic DNS hostname for Wireguard, and a direct IP for Pihole.

Alternatively you could run Adguard Home instead, as it supports being a DoT and DoH server, both of which work over a hostname on your devices (ie; Android uses DoT for its secure DNS option).
