what search engine to use instead of google, bing, yahoo, ddg?
  • DDG proxies Bing results with extra privacy. Startpage proxies Google results with extra privacy (it's a bit slow in my opinion though).

    Ecosia proxies both with a bit oft extra privacy, as long as you don't click or block the advertised results.

    SearX proxies whatever you want, but its kinda slow last time I tried it.

    Brave Search builds their own index, which is pretty good (on par with Bing) even though they're only about a year old at this point. The company is a bit sketchy though.

  • Pegboard PC
  • The latency isn't an issue, the timing becomes an issue because you don't have a clean signal at some point, meaning the signal will arrive "spread out" over time. If it spreads to the next signal, your GPU isn't recognized anymore.

    But as long as.that doesn't happen, there is no latency or performance decrease.

  • Pegboard PC
  • Depends in how clean your room is. I have a case without dust filters and it's been running for over a year without any visible dust accumulating.

    Also it's mounted up high, the further you can get from your floor the cleaner it'll be.

  • Pegboard PC
  • You don't really need any airflow there. The only thing that gets hot there is memory, but that is already cooled through the PCB (good heat conductor because of the copper), which is cooled by the regular heat sink.

  • Privacy with Google's Gboard
  • A lot oft ROMs allow you go completely disable Internet access for a certain app. Disabling the data collection toggles in GBoard and disabling internet access for GBoard, Play Services, Play Store and the Google App should prevent most logging.

  • Almost all Linuxes are really private. Because of your ethics and morals, I would probably switch to Debian or Arch, and use Flatpak where possible to prevent apps from spying on one another and reading files from other apps or your system.

    Kicksecure, Whonix, Tails, Qubes, ... exist but they're not needed and to much of a hassle for day to day use for most people.

  • The correct way to install Firefox
  • If your games are on Steam, check ProtonDB.

    If not, you're probably out of luck, but check recent Search Engine results. Best to limit results to around last 6 months, otherwise you'll probably get outdated information. Only a few bigger non-steam multiplayer shooters work, I can only think of Overwatch right now.
