Proton VPN does have tracking and ad blocking integrated, not sure how good it workes as i usually use my pihole

Ibrun my own gitlab instance where i have a repository with all my configs, scripts etc.
As well as a wiki that contains the admin guide with (hopefully) all the relevant infos in form of text and PlantUML graphs.

The nice thing is.. You can just 'code' the diagrams and use a PlantUML instance to render the graphs live

Also, most banks (and other service provider) add additional fees for counter service, since you can do it online...

Not talking about the "opening hours"...

The problem I face currently is that you get some black liading screens from time to time if you use the microG service to login

The issue has to do something google did and now there seem to be auth issues. The authors of microG don't want to fiy it, as the ReVanced isecase is not exactly what they made their service for.

I currently live with it, but its kind of annoying. Should work fine if you don't want to login though

The problem with ads is not a few ads here and there, it's how it negatively impacts every interaction with those sites:

• ads that load in later than the rest of the page, because they first need to finish the auction of who gets to show their ads... And bam I again missklicked the link because the whole fucking page got shiftet down a notch
• needing a short guide how to do something? Yeah first look at these five (5!) ads which are longer than the guide you want to watch, except... The freaking algorithm favors long videos, so the 30 second guides get padded to over 10min...(with more ads inbetween)
• these ads we show you, yeah they might contain some java script... So you screen them, correct?... Nonono, we can't do that at this scale!
• hey google where can I download this free tool?... Here is a list with download links... Ehh, the first five are ads and lead to some crazy scam site. Don't you check what you deliver as ads.?.... Nonono we can't do that at this scale
• look at this ad for this shady mobile again for the 25ths time today... But youtube that game doesn't look at all like in this ad!.... Thanks for your report... Here's the same fucking ad again!

There was also a report recently that google also screwed their customers (those companies who pay for the ads) where google showed ads as in-stream ads in some auto-running videos in the background.

The whole industey is just broken. Present me with non-intrusive, static ads served from your own site and nobody bats an eye (also ad blockers are a non-issue then)

Tut sie ja, sie hat die LG als kriminelle Vereinigung klassifiziert, ermöglicht ihnen diese fiesen Terroristen besser hinter Gitter zu kriegen... Die beste Regierung die man für Geld kaufen kann
