I haven’t met a single person that didn’t like Photon. Photon is the only reason I started browsing on desktop regularly. It’s lean, clean, and packed with gorgeous transitions; I’ve rarely ever found a project that gets form and function right.

The internet is a shitty place. I’m not surprised that on Lemmy we have shit like

• “client with no JS when?”
• “I don’t want normies anyway”
• “I’m too old to appreciate a modern-looking UI”
• “eww I don’t like this thing that carries subjective opinions, let’s never let anyone use this.”

The troll energy is strong, but it doesn’t change that this is a great project. Alternative UI’s are what make Lemmy unique, and you’re doing your part. That’s appreciated.

On Librewolf the default is all cookies get cleared. When you go to a site you want to save cookies for, you can easily add it to the whitelist by clicking the lock icon in the URL bar and toggling on the “Keep cookies” option.

T-Mobile offers the basic edition (with ads) for free on my plan at least. knowing Netflix though, that probably won’t last much longer. oh well, I’ll still have the high seas.

usually in your router settings you can change local DNS settings. you can set your domains and subdomains to point to your server’s local IP.

NY?

not sure. I just use it to chat with friends, family and such, not so much for new connections

Signal and Lemmy, gotta be my two favorite genders

Nearly all of them. Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Vaultwarden, Spacebar, and 2fAuth, all set behind an NGINX Reverse Proxy, SWAG. SWAG made it very easy to set up https and now I can throw anything behind a subfolder or subdomain.

that’s completely acceptable. i like when apps integrate with my Monet color theming and I’ve never had issues loading video after i turned off the Piped proxy, basically just turning it into NewPipe with a different look. In my experience, don’t turn that on unless you have a specific reason to. It leads to video loading issues just like you found.

Some things I like about LibreTube:

• The PiP functionally works better than in Newpipe
• I can see the likes and dislikes of comments and expand the thread to see more comments
• Swipe gestures to enter and exit fullscreen just like on the normal YT app
• I can view a content creators content by Livestream, Short, normal video etc. for some reason shorts just don’t show up in Newpipe
• SponsorBlock integrated. I am aware there is Newpipe x SponsorBlock

If NewPipe has a way to add the above functionality, I’ll gladly try it again!

also Libretube is a better looking app + more true to the normal youtube app imo. plus when you disable the Piped proxy it’s always reliable
