<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>.

<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>.

<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.

<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 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.

<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.

<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.

<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.
