• Ask HN: For what purposes do you use a Raspberry Pi?

  Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives https://pi-hole.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

• In 2024, please switch to Firefox

  I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background. Adguard [1] is a decent free option. I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

• Google Pixel 7a customization

  I dont know. I hav android 14 installed but it was not possible for me https://ibb.co/p1grL9k. However I downloaded it from novalauncher.com direct and it works now. Source: 7 months ago

• Do you use the Samsung default apps or do you use some of the Google default apps?

  I gave Lawnchair and Nova Launcher a try, but ended up back at OneUI. Nova offers a LOT of customizable options if that is what you want, but I thought it looked somewhat boring compared to Lawnchair and OneUI. Samsung's Good Lock mod (available in the Samsung Store) offers enough customization options that I was happy staying with OneUI. You can have all of then installed at the same time and flip around to see... Source: over 1 year ago

• How to move the search bar to the bottom like in Firefox?

  Check out Nova Launcher. The Nova search bar can be placed below the app drawer. You can add an icon for Google search to the right-hand side of the search bar. Source: over 1 year ago
