Yeah that is a nice recommended

Would love an alternative to GrayJay on iOS that lets me cast to tv

Wasn’t exactly this talked about a few years ago?

I actually use newpipe for casting to my chromecast at the moment so I see the appeal

Regarding Apple, That’s what I feel too, but I don’t feel like going Pixel and GrapheneOS or fairphone etc.

But I still want to optimize my privacy and move to open source alternatives where I can without sacrificing too much

You make a good point tbh

That’s a struggle, but I’ve heard of some great music storage self hosting services out there, can’t remember the names of any atm tho

There is also the option of sideloading a modded YouTube client for the adblock aspect.

I was thinking about getting 256GB version of the phone and self hosting a storage solution, but I ain’t got the server to do that yet, might aswell pay for icloud drive until I finish my studies. Luckily I dont need alot of storage, just need the security of having stuff backed up.

I also selfhost adguard home over my home network.

Yeah I guess getting hate for choosing Apple is fair, I was anti-apple a few years ago but now I would rather get rid of Google, and ios isnt bad nowadays either for my use cases.

I could just go for a fairphone tho with /e/OS tho

Pretty sure it was developed in germany

Matrix is open source, should give that a try,

it could be a bit more user friendly tho

While I can’t find any source to back up my claim that it certainly drains some amount of battery, can you provide any evidence that it doesn’t impact battery life? Given that GPS uses significant processing power

This says otherwise https://geofinder.mobi/blog/does-location-sharing-drain-battery/

Some friends of mine have literally hundreds of friends with their Snapchat location sharing on

Gary is the dad you wish you had
