Getting rid of google drive, onedrive...

-

This is where most people tell you to use a good cloud storage - service like disroot but I have a even better alterative. One that - is onetime payment, gives you a fuck ton of storage, fast upload and - download speeds, works on all your devices, never looks at your - files, and it doesnt even need internet! Its called the external - harddrive. USB drives work to but they are little cheaply made - pieces of shit that are easy to lose, have a laughable amount of - storage for many uses, corrupt easily... You lite weight freaks may - be pissing out over the fact external harddrives are bigger than - your finger tip but thats a good thing because that means you will - not as easily fucking lose that mother fucker! Dont know about you - but I lose USB drives all the fucking time!
-
- Some cool tricks with a external harddrive is: making a encrypted - partition so if when you lose it somewhere some edgy teen - isnt going to make the next few months of your life fucking hell, - making seprate partitions for files that will stay in linux and - files you might have to access on some random ass machine running - windows so file permissions dont get fucked over, and making scripts - to make backing up and restoring files easier.
-
- Wanta sync bookmarks, browser settings, addons... across browsers on - different devices? Dont use the stupid google account or mozilla bullshit that sells your information and gives - it to the NSA. All you gotta do is copy your .mozilla, .librewolf, - or where ever the fuck your browser is storing everything onto your - harddrive than you can paste it onto whatever device you want. - Making a script to speed things up a bit isnt too hard either.
-
- For those who dont know how to find things I personally use one of these bad boys.

Password manager

-

Do you use the same password for everything? Thats fucking - stupid. Do you click yes when your asked if you want the password - saved? Those builtin password managers tend to get hacked and people - arent good about backing them up so they fucking lose everything - easily. The best password manager is a spreadsheet! But - wouldnt that be a easy way for your information to get leaked you - say? Thats why spreadsheet programs have encryption options. - Now you only have to remember one password but can still have strong - passwords for everything, your welcome. Dont use stupid ass closed - source shit like microsoft office. Instead get yourself libreoffice. - Openoffice is old af so I wouldnt trust it for password locked - spreadsheets. Do you dual boot and wanta share it on multiple OS's? - Use a shared file partition. Wanta back it up to the cloud? Use a - external harddrive like I already said but if you do throw it on a - cloud service they arent going to get into that mother fucker if - you used a different password than the one for the cloud - service.

Watching youtube

-

Hate google but still wanta watch youtube? There are some tricks - you can do.

-

mpv

-

One of the features mpv has is it can stream youtube videos. I - try to use alterative youtube web clients and they tend to work - great for searching for videos but poop out when you try to play the - video. When this happens just throw the youtube url into mpv. Also - under the hood youtube channels are just rss feeds so you can use a - feed reader to keep up with your favorite channels than watch them - with mpv. I also talk a bit about that here.

-

yt-dlp

-

yt-dlp is for downloading your fucking videos! Check - out this reddit post for a little dummy - guide/cheatsheat.

-

Newpipe

-

Great little mobile youtube client. Has the best interface out of - all the youtube clients. And it can import your subs from your - youtube account using that same file my rss feed list script uses. - Once you get your subs from your youtube account you can ditch that - mother fucker! It poops out sometimes but the devs are fast to fix - it.

-

Revanced

-

Revanced is a project that patches the official mobile youtube - client to block ads and do other cool things. The official site is - here. On search - engines the unofficial websites show up first so be careful. Some - people have used the unofficial websites without getting hacked - while others have gotten their google accounts hacked using it. I - dont really care for revanced too much because it still requires you - sign into a google account and for the most part use the official - youtube client even if it has a few patches.

Headphones

-

Need a pair of no bullshit bluetooth headphones that work just - fine on any device and dont use any stupid app? Get one of these bad boys. They have bad ass 40mm - drivers and quite good frequency response. They are about the most - balanced headphones skullcandy sells and atleast for consumer - headphone standards they are balanced. Most consumer headphones - are unnaturally bassy to try to cover up the fact they are pieces of - shit because most of you fuckers think more bass means better - sound. Hesh headphones have enough bass to itch that scratch while - still being actually good headphones. Most bluetooth headphones have - a weak single and barely ever manages to connect. Hesh headphones on - the other hand have a nice strong signal and are the only bluetooth - devices that have not gave me shit. And guess what? They still have - plenty of battery life! They actually have a usable headphone jack, - the interface is good old buttons instead of swipe bullshit, and - they dont even have an app let alone lock features behind one!
-
- They are built to last and can survive whatever shit life throws at - them. You can also get the anc which are a active noise canneling - version but they tend to make a slight clicking sound sometimes when - anc mode is enabled. For us sensative people the clicking renders - the anc useless and the hesh models already have good passive noise - canneling as is. The evos cost less than the anc and they have - slightly better sound and battery life. Though I guess if an anc - mode that makes an annoying clicking sound is your thing have at it - with the hesh anc. As much as I hate outside noise the clicking is - nearly just as bad.
-
- Skullcandy's tend to be the main pick for musicians. Thats because - alot of us know better than to waste money on buying shit from - apple, bose, jbl, sony... when skullcandy sells way better - headphones for a fraction of the price.

Guitar, bass and related things

-

Fender style guitars

-

Wanta buy a electric guitar? Do yourself a favor and get a - g&l. They are the best electric guitars money can buy. Mainly - for basses but also guitars Music Man also has some fine stuff. As - far as fender goes the american fenders are overpriced pieces of - shit! Instead get yourself a mexican fender, japenese fender, or - even a squier! My first electric was a mexican fender and its a - really great guitar though as great as mexican fenders are g&l - and Music Man are just better though I didnt know about them at the - time. I been fucking around with some g&l hardware on a squier - tele but tbh I have never owned a g&l as much as I like - them.

-

Gibson style guitars

-

Never buy a gibson! Might as well buy a fucking tesla to - match your gibson! Instead get yoursefl a fine epiphone and if you - do get a epiphone there is no finer epiphone than their version of - the firebird. Its a through body so it doesnt have the same neck - issues as most gibson style guitars though beware of finish cracking - around the nut though its not a problem (most of the time).

-

Straps

-

I always get strap lock. The fucking strap buttons hurts my - autism. I dont fucking want to see a guitar or bass fucking hit the - ground. Strap lock will save your stupid ass. I have seen people - preforming live have their guitar hit the ground.

-
-

I need a new pc or laptop

-

Does it have linux installed? If not install linux and that - mother fucker will last many more years.

Stonks Lain -

Already have linux? Get something that isnt linux! Some of the - more funky options include:

-

Mice?

-

As much as I dont like big brands the best mouse money can buy is - the logitech G203 lightsync. I dont like overpriced gaming mice. - They often feel wrong in my hands, are overpriced pieces of shit, - fucking shit out in linux... I use to game with shitty office mice - because of that. The G203 is shaped like a office mouse and is the - right weight. Fuck the super heavy and super lite shit. And the cool - shaped gaming mice fuck up peoples hands. The magic of the G203 is - you can still get gaming mouse features like smooth tracking that - isnt shit, a good ass scroll wheel, dpi button, side clicks, and rgb - while still having a reasonable shape and weight. In linux there is - even a piece of software called piper so you can configure your G203 - without closed source windows bullshit! To top things off the G203 - costs far less than all the fancy mice and out preforms them. Even - if you just want a office mouse the G203 is going to not only be a - big upgrade to your 2010s office mouse I know you use but also - completely outclass all those overpriced modern office mice your - boss spends too much of their 6 figures on.

Keyboards because why not

-

I use a modded dierya DK61SE. Just a little funky keyboard but I - dig it. I replaced the keycaps, tubed up the switches, put foam or - some shit inside to make it sound better, and some friend did a - little bandade hack to make the guides for the larger buttons shake - less.
