@prologic I guess I’m more “strict” than you are, probably. DNS queries tell me very little about which data is actually sent to those servers.
On the other hand, this is probably a reasonable argument: The vast majority of users have no idea what a DNS query even is (and they don’t care to begin with), so trying to hide something here is probably not worth the effort for Google/Apple. This would make filtering DNS requests more meaningful after all.
(But you can’t be sure and that is driving me nuts. I don’t want to deal with this in the first place.)

It also helps a lot to a) ensure you turn off all things "iCloud" when you setup your device and b) teach your wife and children the benefits of doing the same and risks of not ensuring you do a) and c) ensuring that you keep doing a & b 🤣

Some of those *.apple.com DNS requests look legit and valid, like itunes (_the App Store_) and push notifications. Need to investigate what some of the other ones are. There are _some_ Apple domains I already block as well that I've figured out over the years.

@movq yeah I'm pretty confident in what my phone and Apple devices do and don't do in regards to talking back to up over the Internet. I mean, I do DNS filtering at my home network and most of the time I insured my phone is connected to my VPN so that all Trevor is through my internal DNS service as well.
Obviously I can't guarantee that it's making its own DNS requests and sneaking through my filters, I could go and check at my router level, but I'm fairly confident it probably isn't.

@prologic Yeah, this whole thing of pre-installed third-party apps doesn’t exist on the iPhone. So that appears to be a bit better. You’re still sharing data with Apple and it’s next to impossible to tell what exactly the device does or does not do (just like with Android). If you can’t easily install your own OS, then it’s a lost cause.
Best you can do with any of these devices is disconnect them from the Internet.

@movq At least with an iPhone I'm not forced to use anything like Google, Facebook, or TikTok. None of those "things" are ever pre-installed, hidden or otherwise.

@prologic I guess any Android phone is like that, except maybe for the Google Pixel stuff. It’s a shit ecosystem. And so is the iPhone world. It’s all proprietary garbage.

Just realized that phone came with a bunch of “hidden” Meta/Facebook services pre-installed and they cannot be uninstalled, so I guess me trying to “fight” WhatsApp is pointless anyway. 🤪
… and then people call me a “luddite”. 🤣🖕

I've decided to try and get rid of as much stress as possible. Stupid things stress me out, some things are more important to fix then others. But today I got started, by fixing the xeon bulb on our car, been ignoring it for a year, because the car garage said it'll cost me 350$ so get it changed (Because they had to remove the whole front).. So because of that I did not prioritize it. But today I went and bought a bulb for 50$ and I openened the hood of the car and saw I could just replace it my self by simply removing a cover to get access to the bulb. So I've been stressing over nothing for a year simply because I did not check and took their word for it. next thing to get fixed is a rotten board under a window outside, been bugging me for a long time, now I want to get that sorted next. All these small things adds up, and I want peace of mind.

@movq the algorithms are nuts everywhere. I was cancelled from Instagram and TikTok a while back for the same reason, yet, at the time I got the email telling me about it I hadn't used them both for over a year. 🤷🏻

WhatsApp locked me out of my test account for violating their TOS. Huh? I hardly even used it? Or is that the violation – not immediately feeding them with all available data about my private life? 🤣

Its like old school TV but with youtube videos. Each channel has a subject and the channels play in a sort of realtime. so no going forward or back. Perfect for channel surfing.

@prologic not sure what you find on BeerCSS. I have never found that style (following "Material Design" aesthetics) attractive at all. Many of its components are misaligned (at least they are under Gnome's Chrome). Look that the buttons, and you will see and example of what I am talking about.
Came across YTCH yesterday, and it is very addictive. Simple, and well done. You can host it yourself if you want. The trick I haven't figure out yet is how to create the list.json that drives it.
@prologic Hahaha! :-D Yep, focus on your real business. :-)

@mckinley That is pretty cool! 😎 Reminds me of something I also want to either find or build; a FUSE filesystem or a Go library that acts as a limited cache with maximum time-to-live on files written. Think, caching Youtube videos for tubeproxy but where storage is always capped at an upper bound. Older items get constantly deleted.
