I only use PiHole for a couple of months, it wasn’t easy to setup something that worked on my LAN and over internet. Initially I used OpenVPN but was hard to use it with profiles to identify the devices.
Than a tried AdGuard Home, and use it with DoH/DoT server was very simple, and can easily use any profile for each device on LAN or DoH/DoT server.
Can easily search logs and block/allow for each device.
Give it a try, and use it for a couple days.
No they not, in EU people where using VPNs (probably free, with more tracking) to use Threads.
When USA tried to block TikTok, people started to use free VPNs to continue using TikTok.
Mostly are unaware or don’t understand, other just don’t care they “have nothing to hide”
Thats probably the uncompress installed on your system.
The apk from PlayStore is 3.34MB

Ah yes the Samsung and their bloatware.
On S23 is almost 60GB https://www.neowin.net/news/heres-the-apparent-truth-behind-the-60gb-android-os-on-galaxy-s23/
That’s why when a look for a phone, always research if there’s custom ROMs for it, AOSP based.
I control what’s on the phone, not otherwise
It’s only for Pixel phones

Same but I use Syncthing instead
I’m an old age redditor, and that was may reddiquette, “don’t downvote just because you don’t like the topic, maybe other people find it interesting”.
Mostly I don’t downvote at all, only on some rude or spam posts.
Reddit just become something where everyone downvote everything for no reason, even if just say “OK” ou “that’s cool”!
On Lemmy (ate least for now), not so much or I don’t see it.
If you see a post “orange is the best color”, don’t downvote just because you don’t like orange, leave a comment and express your opinion instead
PS: There’s an old Reddiquette song, the same can be applied to fediverse

Setup some RSS bots to auto-post news on your instance.
I’ll create more accounts then
It could be defined by the instance or community
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html#language-tags
If you set the language(s), it will show only posts with tha language (is set) on your feed, otherwise shows all languages.
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html#language-tags
Most posts don’t have a language defined (undefined), don’t know if they’ll also show on your feed.
Depending of your instance, see the local communities, you should have some for “community request” or meta, look for the description of the communities.
You can also request on other instance, doesn’t need to be on your instance. Some can be more restrict then others.
There’s also theme specific instances, like Star Trek, Path of Exile, FOSS… each instance can have his own rules.

People just want to use the app, like on TikTok “China is spying you, it will be blocked” many started to looking for VPNs to unblock the app.
If it converts every video in realtime it will require a lot of CPU per server, it’s cheaper to store multiple copies. Also the average video isn’t more than some 300MB, less if it’s lower quality.
Anyone with Plex or Jellyfin knows that it’s better to have the same movie in both qualities (1080,720) the transconding to avoid CPU usage.
It’s possible to have fast transconding with GPUs, but with high so many users on youtube that will require a lots of power and high energy prices, store is cheaper.
Not only that but for each video on YouTube there are different versions for each resolution. So if you upload a 1080p video, it gets converted to 1080p AVC/VP9, 720p AVC/VP9, 480p… also for the audio.
If you run youtube-dl -F <youtube url> you will see different formats.
Don’t know about Google (don’t use it) but already found some search results on Brave or Duckduckgo, without search operators (site:…)
Not related to selfhosted but OK.
Don’t know about such software for Windows, but if you run Windows on a virtual machine on Linux, like virt-manager/libvirt you can add the USB as a local SSD.
Virt-manager isn’t the most user friendly, but have a lot of features
