Hi, I’m Miss Brainfart.

I’m afraid of sharks, with the exception being blåhaj. What could that possibly mean, huh.
(That’s not a hint, I genuinely have no idea)

Lemmings can also find me @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud on Matrix, if they desire to do so for e2ee reasons

    I’m starting to wonder, what will YouTube do once it stops being remotely sustainable to run?

    Is more efficient video compression being developed faster than people are uploading content?

    Like, at some point, they might just run out of space and will have to purge millions of videos.



















  • Tracker Control is an app that basically acts a DNS based blocker. Recognizes what your apps connect to, groups it into necessary and unnecessary domains and so on. It does set up a local VPN though, so you can’t use it alongside an actual VPN.

    The Duckduckgo app does pretty much the same thing, no need to explain more.

    There’s more that do the same DNS-based blocking, Netguard being another popular one.

    Another option would be to have a blocker running network-wide, a pihole for example. But again, won’t do anything in case you’re using a VPN, obviously.

    And then some apps will straight up refuse to run if you block their trackers. If this happens, it should be the last straw when deciding whether to actually keep the app or not.
