Pros and cons for an extra phone number (dual Sim)
  • Getting another number helps a lot in my opinion. If you're getting another sim in the same phone, I suppose it would be possible for whatever cell carrier is providing the service to be able to link your two sim cards to your identity. However, for other companies, I don't know of a way they could gather that your second sim phone number is linked to your first one. For instance, if you created two Discord accounts with your two phone numbers, you could theoretically be two completely different users that won't be linked together. I would personally go for a second number.

  • Some DNS questions
  • Here's a video covering basically all of NextDNS' settings! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUG57ynLb8I

  • Any well-established Lemmy instances that publicly allow posting from VPNs?
  • Have never had a problem using a VPN with programming.dev

  • Need Help Bypassing Firewall Restrictions at My School
  • I'm aware of a network that blocks Mullvad as well, but found a way around it. It went through just fine if I was using a custom DNS server. I used NextDNS for this, but I imagine it would work with Cloudflare or something as well (but I highly recommend NextDNS anyways). Hope this helps!

  • Youtube Front-End that supports >1440p?
  • Ah, understood. I'm unaware of any clients for Linux that would do what you're asking for. You could try using Anbox to run android apps and use the android solutions I've recommended in my last comment through that, but that's all I've got. Good luck!

  • Youtube Front-End that supports >1440p?
  • Using Tubular here, which supports up to 2160p! Assuming the creator uploads at that resolution, of course. It's a fork of NewPipe, so NewPipe would probably allow for 1440p and 2160p as well, as well as any other fork of NewPipe (such as NewPipe X).

  • Where Are You Supposed To Buy Pajama Shirts?

    I often see pajama pants for sale, and they're awesome. However, I never see any pajama shirts for sale on their own. Where are you supposed to get pajama tops?

    good gen 3 pokemon?
  • Honestly, it seems like you have a pretty good team already! You do have 3 water types though. Getting an Electrike and evolving it into a Manetric might balance out the team a little bit. Have fun in Hoenn!

  • What vm software you use on linux
  • I use virt-manager, aka Virtual Machine Manager. Using this specifically because of the winapps for Linux repo has instructions on how to get Windows apps to run through the VM to be integrated in a Linux environment.

  • Understanding YouTube Frontend Options
  • I'm unsure as to what info is sent other than your IP with Newpipe, but you're correct that it will get a VPN address instead. Commenting to suggest a fork of Newpipe known as Tubular. Has SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike functionality!

  • Do you have any recommendations for an opensource mood tracking app?
  • Not sure if it has every feature you're looking for, but I was able to transition from Daylio to Daily You and be ok with it. Can't track what activities you did with buttons, but can track your mood every day with a journal entry for each day, and an image if you want. There's even a Python script to convert your entries from Daylio into Daily You!

  • I'll admit I haven't watched a stream in a while, so twitch could have easily updated something, but in my experience, yes it blocks ads!

  • Use Xtra if on Android!

  • "Hide read posts" toggle?
  • Nvm, figured out that the floating button is the new post button. Sorry to bother!

  • "Hide read posts" toggle?
  • Could you possibly go more in depth on this? I use Thunder and have zero clue where a "floating button" is lol

  • Mullvad VPN or Proton VPN?
  • Mullvad is better imo, unless you need port forwarding. I'm currently using Proton since I pay for Unlimited for that encrypted drive space, and using their VPN saves me money since I just think of the payment as just for Proton Drive. This is a change I made just a few days ago though, for about a year I've paid for both Proton Unlimited and Mullvad, and I legitimately prefer Mullvad over Proton, it just made sense for me to switch money wise. Can't really go wrong between the two imo.

  • Linux Mint 22 is ready. The release date will be announced this week
  • That's awesome! Thanks for letting us know!

  • Linux Mint 22 is ready. The release date will be announced this week
  • The update functionality for older versions to upgrade to the new version will be released a few weeks after the iso release of Linux Mint 22. It'll be an available upgrade in the Software Update Center application.

  • FUTO Keyboard: The Discussion Behind A Cool Product
  • Ah, that height setting was hidden then lol. That fixes that issue! I'm also very aware of Heliboard, that's what I'm currently using (with the google proprietary blob for swipe typing). I just don't feel like the swipe is that good, it often just doesn't produce any word after I'm done swiping out the word. Thanks for the tip about the height!

  • FUTO Keyboard: The Discussion Behind A Cool Product
  • Honestly, since I can see the source code and confirm that it isn't sending my data anywhere, I think it's ok, even if it doesn't meet the standard definition of foss. The keyboard is also pretty dang good, but I have two complaints. 1. I want to be able to resize the height of the keyboard. 2. The swipe typing sucks. As soon as those two things get fixed it's easily the best keyboard on Android for me.

    Good Servers?

    Hello. I want to try out irc, but I don't know what server to sign up for, or what clients are good (Android). Any suggestions? Any lists of servers I can look through?

    Thanks

    Coloring Suggestion for iPad

    Hello. Does anyone know of a coloring app for iPad where the app tells me what color goes where? Like those color by number apps except I want to use my apple pencil to color in the sections instead of just tapping to fill in the section.
