No. Stay away from these sites. They’re only reason to exist is because they have builtin their promo-code into each “try this vpn” button. Giving them a cut of whatever you end up paying for the vpn service. These promo deals that these vpn companies have going are also incredibly lucrative for those promoting them, often giving them 20-40% of the cut.

I think this is unfair because their articles are low quality and often just copied from other sites.

There are mainly 3 vpns you should consider:

• MullvadVPN.
• ProtonVPN.
• IVPN.

Love me some Studio Ghibli related gifts ❤️

Budget wise, maybe 50-80EUR per person.

Defo some good points! It’s just as soon as those polls are on a third-party site i feel like a lot less people are going to bother/engage with the poll - instead of a simple click in the lemmy-ui.

I think most people don’t understand the fact that Kagi is meta-search engine which literally collect the results of other search engines and display it and add very small amount of results from their index(tecilis).

People basically pay them to search Yandex and Brave for them.

You’re enticing that they ‘do very little’. But they do search multiple sources at once, providing a better choice of results for their users in addition to allowing users further customizable filters. If they’re doing this then they’re doing more than just the standard ‘Yandex/Brave’ search as you describe.

I do however, agree that they should state that they are a metasearch engine if that is their case. Also just seen their pricing - ludicrous!

If they’re indexing multiple sources and then making a custom experience for the user - based on multiple sources and user input. Then that to me, sounds like a valid service to to allowed to sell? I struggle to see the issue here?

Ahhh ofc, can’t believe I didn’t think of this… This also solves my issue actually ☺️

Just seen that there is also a drop down menu to easily turn this on and off, perfect.

I’d really like for there to be an easy way to create polls.

I’m more afraid of them reading about each transaction and selling that information forwards to their partners…

Hm, good of you to point out. I hope and assume they will post the code for this as soon as they launch this.

I’d be very surprised if this was some sort of sham. At least both Jeff Geerling and Raid Owl have posted about getting these; though like sent to them without them backing them directly.

Currently exploring some tools around this myself too. I’d recommend having a look at Gonic, LMS(light music server) and Navidrome for hosting music. Personally I quite liked the simplicity of Gonic.

If you need to re-sort/manage your music then, Beets and Musicbrainz Picard, or MediaMonkey (if you’re on Windows) are your friends. These can add alot of additional metadata to your library.

Beets is apparently the “best” tool out of these as it has a big plugin library and hella customizable configuration for your exact setup.

Best of luck 🤞

Love the idea of this project, exactly something I’m looking for. Though as others have stated, a more native way for Linux or an integration with Lutris or Heroic Launcher would truly be helpful for this project. Believe it would get a lot more traction in the selfhosting community if this became a reality.

Just tried this, worked wonders! 🙌

Now this I have to try! Could you talk me through how you do this? Just read a quick article on it: you only blend oats and water, then strain it? Would coffee filters be good for straining?

While true, none of the other ones are as seamless and easy as what Proton achieves. I’ve tried multiple other services, and always come back to Proton for exactly this.

Protonpass user here. Their aliasing is just too good to have.

Same here!! Been absolutely fantastic so far. Although I have to remake my playlists, totally worth it considering Spotify is only getting worse and worse each year. Discovered late last night that Navidrome supports smart playlists, so will play around a little with that.

Thought I’d make a Lemmy post about the whole transition when I’m completely done migrating 😊

Used to be the case for me too. But recently discovered that paid apps generally is much better polished, feature rich and ad+tracking free. That at least for me makes it more interesting paying for apps.

What a great suggestion! Very nice 👌

What do you mean?
