Use adguard or nextdns for os wide protection and ublock for browser level protection. No selfhosting required.

Checkout betterfox for more info. If you want you can also install the user.js file for better cookie protection as well.

Still a mess to read though, anyone revewing the code will be like wtf?

thats a good idea, although wifi is not reliable enough for me. Although I found this guide which shows how to add an ethernet port to a PI zero w so hopefully I can use that. Or maybe I should just use a ESP32.

044en17rl is right I meant a public seaxng instance.

That is a lot of money for me, especially if all I need it to do is simulate the on button. Surely there is some really cheap arm based device that has an ethernet port and can therefore send WOL signals.

Arch wiki strikes again! That’s pretty cool I just checked and the bios on my pc does indeed have this feature.

What?? which ones?

Lan is not the name of my parent 💀

Using a public instance is more private than using a private selfhosted instance.

That actually seams pretty awsome, just using a really low powered device to send WOL commands.

I don’t have home assistant setup in my parents place, that is a nice feature though I might use that for other things.

I already have 2x2tb hard drives, a singular sd card is not enough for me I need some level of redundancy even for my backups.

Its also free if you get it on fdroid.

I didn’t realise the bios could do that I will look into that.

The search engines that searxng interact with still track you. For this reason I will always use a public instance to mix up the tracking with everyone else using it.

I don’t really take issue with dozens of posts by newbies asking the same basic question over and over. I used to be one and am occasionally back there again if I start a new hobby. Hopefully newcomers don’t get pushed off by overly sensitive moderation.

I’m not sure if I agree with this, unless you need clarification on something specific the forum like nature and search should allow you to find answers to previous questions without asking it again.

But I do agree overmoderation is bad. I swear if communities start implementing a karma system…

Buying low and selling high is fundamentally taking advantage of other peoples losses.

So someone recently told me I should cut back on donations to open source projects.

Your being too nice, be more greedy??

Commonwealth bank

This is what I’m looking for! thanks. I also like the idea of not supporting big bank so I like the idea of this.
