shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Libre Cloud’s head office is a unit on an industrial estate: 82A James Carter Rd, https://maps.app.goo.gl/nu75EEHEDFbY5PMW9 (Update: it’s a virtual office address, which doesn’t really inspire confidence for me)

They probably colocate at data centres.

Personally, I’m on Hetzner’s Storage Share (Nextcloud but without Collabora), and I’d prefer to trust my data to them: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/

Regardless of your choice, I definitely agree that nextcloud rocks.

Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?

Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that’ll cover you at home and out of home.

Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn’t block those outright. It’s a useful option for when I’m using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.

Not quite a screen shot, but the text:

uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

Because of the following filter:

uBlock filters – Badware risks

The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it’s not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.

Ublock Origin kicks up repeated warnings for this.

Adguard lifetime licence - install adguard on your phone, done.

Or just configure your phone’s DNS setting to use adguard DNS, or other free adblocking DNS.

Why not stay with your existing hosts? Does the latency make that much difference for your use?

On my Intel mac, Tixati ran perfectly in Wine. I say ‘ran’ as I haven’t used it in a few years.

Pirate some things, pay for some things. It doesn’t have to be absolute.
