Someone recommended a similar app, although not so lightweight, that blocks ads and allows to run a vpn too. it’s rethink dns. Maybe you can run mullvard vpn with it?

Good thing mine just becomes like that for 3 hours and 59 minutes

TIL!

Doesn’t work in my country, because there were different currencies during the 80s (current one would have no value) and it was a period oh high economic instability and poverty

Glad to be helpful ^ _ ^

Welcome to lemmy, and happy new year!

That one is nice too. I ended favoring personalDNSfilter because I don’t use any vpn and its apk has less than a megabyte. I was impressed at how small it is.

Might not be news to most of you, but I recently discovered personalDNSfilter (https://f-droid.org/pt_BR/packages/dnsfilter.android/), and I’m installing it on any phones I find in front of me.

This app is very lightweight, doesn’t require root, and by default, blocks ads and trackers via dns lists. It can also be used for using custom dns servers, including DoH and DoT or to block other things via custom lists. It’s simple and easy to use, while also allowing power users to do a lot more

but it was also true that I’d been using a 10yr old machine, which is pretty ridiculous

Why do you think it’s ridiculous to use a 10yo machine?

And it will be a really complex process due to digital media not being created with long-term preservation in mind

Now think about how much of human behavior and social transactions are based on sex. Think on how much time people think, directly or indirectly about sex. How many actions are indirectly motivated by sex, from silly things like conversation starters, to terrible things like sexual crimes. All the energy put into fashion, body modifications, sports, and many other activities in indirect sexual motivation. Think about how many feelings of sadness or even depressions are aggravated by, or even originated from, lack of sex. Think about the religious institutions and the changes they did to history by socially reprehending sex. Also think of the historical events indirectly influenced by sex. You could spend the entire day and even a research career on all that, and at some point one would ask what is NOT related to sex in this bizarre human world. It’s no wonder asexuals have so much trouble navigating around.

All those products have one thing in common. It’s what we call gourmetization in my country, which is a concept I believe the people should be aware of globally. It’s basically the process of making you believe that the simple, cheap, realiable and lasting stuff you already have lacks something, and then marketing an “improved”, refined and more expensive version to you. This process goes hand-to-hand to what you call enshittification, often being a catalyst for it.

Are you sure that drug you call hope isn’t consumerism?

Me too >.<

In brazil, many cops aren’t like vampires, because if they look into a mirror, they see themselves. Sorry, international lemmy users, but only entendedores entenderão.

But only when you’re a good student.

I know a LOT of people who make the same mistakes and suffer from the same consequences again and again, without ever learning.

What about Brazil? What impression did you have?

Your computer very likely doesn’t need a special distro for low end devices yet. A common distro like linux mint will do fine, and that’s probably the best choice if you’re new to linux.

Edit: if you only want to host stuff on it, and nothing else, maybe that yunohost people recommended can be a better choice

I have been using the option to restrict to older dates quite often, in order to get good results
