There is also the option of sideloading a modded YouTube client for the adblock aspect.
I was thinking about getting 256GB version of the phone and self hosting a storage solution, but I ain't got the server to do that yet, might aswell pay for icloud drive until I finish my studies. Luckily I dont need alot of storage, just need the security of having stuff backed up.
I also selfhost adguard home over my home network.
Yeah I guess getting hate for choosing Apple is fair, I was anti-apple a few years ago but now I would rather get rid of Google, and ios isnt bad nowadays either for my use cases.
I could just go for a fairphone tho with /e/OS tho
I am slowly accumulating all my favorite music in flac, and when I summon the motivation I am going to load it right onto my local phone storage and play it with an app, because I am also sick and tired of my music cutting out when I lose internet connection while driving, even if it’s something I’ve downloaded to my library to avoid that happening. I live in northern Maine and it’s a problem.
That's a struggle, but I've heard of some great music storage self hosting services out there, can't remember the names of any atm tho
Evermusic and Flacbox are the apps I am considering
