<h2 id="storage">Getting rid of google drive, onedrive...</h2>
<p>This is where most people tell you to use a good cloud storage
service like <a href="https://disroot.org" target=
"_blank">disroot</a> 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!<br />
<br />
Some cool tricks with a external harddrive is: making a encrypted
partition so <s>if</s> 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.<br />
<br />
Wanta sync bookmarks, browser settings, addons... across browsers on
different devices? Dont use the stupid google account or <a href=
"https://digdeeper.club/articles/mozilla.xhtml" target=
"_blank">mozilla</a> 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.<br />
<br />
For those who dont know how to find things I personally use <a href=
"https://americas.lexar.com/product/lexar-professional-sl600-portable-ssd/"
target="_blank">one of these bad boys</a>.</p>

<h2 id="passwords">Password manager</h2>
<p>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. <b>The best password manager is a spreadsheet!</b> But
wouldnt that be a easy way for your information to get leaked you
say? <b>Thats why spreadsheet programs have encryption options.</b>
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 <b>if
you used a different password than the one for the cloud
service</b>.</p>

<h2 id="youtube">Watching youtube</h2>
<p>Hate google but still wanta watch youtube? There are some tricks
you can do.</p>
<h3>mpv</h3>
<p>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 <a href=
"linux_room.html#liferea" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<h3>yt-dlp</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp" target=
"_blank">yt-dlp</a> is for downloading your fucking videos! Check
out <a href=
"https://reddit.com/r/youtubedl/comments/15xqg3t/ytdlp_for_dummies"
target="_blank">this reddit post</a> for a little dummy
guide/cheatsheat.</p>
<h3>Newpipe</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Revanced</h3>
<p>Revanced is a project that patches the official mobile youtube
client to block ads and do other cool things. The official site is
<a href="https://revanced.app" target="_blank">here</a>. 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.</p>

<h2 id="headphones">Headphones</h2>
<p>Need a pair of no bullshit bluetooth headphones that work just
fine on any device and dont use any stupid app? Get <a href=
"https://www.skullcandy.com/products/hesh-evo-wireless-headphones"
target="_blank">one of these bad boys</a>. 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. <b>Most consumer headphones
are unnaturally bassy to try to cover up the fact they are pieces of
shit</b> 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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.</p>

<h2 id="music">Guitar, bass and related things</h2>
<h3>Fender style guitars</h3>
<p>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 <b>american fenders are overpriced pieces of
shit!</b> 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.</p>
<h3>Gibson style guitars</h3>
<p><b>Never buy a gibson!</b> 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).</p>
<h3>Straps</h3>
<p>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.</p>

<h2 id="mice">Mice?</h2>
<p>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.</p>

<h2 id="keyboards">Keyboards because why not</h2>
<p>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.</p>
