Re: /dev/null

^ Cannot find that particular domain on any of the Apple-specific filterlists I know of*, but app.adjust.world/com/io/net/etc variations are blocked by most of the stricter filterlists** like OISD-full and 1Hosts(Pro), so it's more of a general-purpose domain not exclusive to the Fruit Company.

Re: Happy Birthday Wux!

Oh, another year. Let's all just default to being 80yrs old. Easier to keep up, and also a good excuse to forget.

Happy Barfday, Le Wuxinator.

Re: /dev/null

Seems like the dnscheck.tools dev added more DNSSEC tests. Even checks for ED25519 now, the supposed "future recommended default" or whatever. Big guns like Cloudflare, NextDNS or Quad9 support it already obviously, but I'm surprised AhaDNS supports it as well. Colour me impressed.

Re: /dev/null

^ If you take the time to go through your router logs (or use something like Wireshark), and cross-ref the connections with timestamps (helps if your router supports VLANs and you segregate your devices with them) and NextDNS logs, you'll likely notice some connections not picked up by NextDNS. Some...

Re: /dev/null

Been testing this out over the last few weeks. Good DoH provider with customizable filterlists; https://blitz-setup.ahadns.com/ No DoT though, so for system-wide filtering on Android you'll need an app for it. If just for browsing you can set the generated DoH url string in your browser's Private/Se...

Re: Electronic sounds thread

I tend to shy away from the typical DJMag/MixMag/RollingStone featured electronica producer/DJ, not because I'm a hipster, but mostly due to most of the output being way too shallow/generic sounding. Anything they claim to be "innovative" I've somehow heard a decade ago, for whatever reaso...

Re: /dev/null

When my FP2 dies, I'll probably move to a phone more reliable on the security/privacy side than this. But is there such a phone though, and would it matter? If you're deGoogling, then wouldn't device compatibility with the ROM you intend to use outweigh whatever privacy/security state the stock pho...

Preface: I've been away from Android for a long time, so a lot of this is as new to me as it is for you chaps. @Ivan If you're using a deGoogled ROM and can do everything you need via F-Droid* then there is no reason for you to install microG. Reason some people use microG is for apps they need that...
