10am EST. 15 minutes from now.

I use Amazon kindle to have my books synced across everything but I only use a burner Amazon and make sure I have my epubs backed up on a calibre server just in case they kill that account. Never buy digital shit from Amazon especially. They always pull this kind of thing.

Use Smaller Cards view mode and there isn't adds.....

I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it's because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it's bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can't get pulled away from it. Its all about what you're used to.

I'm not the guy you asked but I do the same thing. In the tailscale dashboard you can set up a default DNS for every device that is connected to your tailnet. They support nextdns and a couple other things. I have mine pointed to my personal adgaurd home server that is within my tailnet and it works great. I used nextdns for a while but didn't want to pay for it. It also worked great with tailscale.

I've noticed that the compact mode doesn't show ads.

I'm wondering the same. ddg has been great for me.

I don't, no. I'm on the android train but my mother in law is all apple. She adds books from her phone then they are there to read on her iPad when she goes to bed.

Fairly new. Last year they had 2020 models from HP. My kid moves to a different building this year so I don't know if they'll have something different or not but they're good enough to do school work on and not much else which I guess helps make sure there kids don't fuck around with em.

Zlibrary / libgen and just open the files in apple books. Works across devices for me.

I've heard tale of nitter clients still working but I haven't tested it myself.

You can do it with certain apps. Sync I'm pretty sure does this but I'm sure others do too
