Nostr IS the everything app, built on individual liberty and free agency, just like an "everything app" should be built.

Nostr is the everything app that Musk, Sam Altman, the UN and the WEF can only dream about creating, because their versions would be centralized without true freedom.

I tried transmission but it wasn't as good as the desktop version..

On a side note, I ran qBittorrent on a Linux phone for a while, and that was awesome. The interface was not user friendly for a phone, but I could do whatever I wanted with that. It even has search built in.

Ubuntu has had Zeitgeist for over 10 years

# IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

F-Droid has a lot of apps, but for one reason or another, many apps are not included on F-Droid.

So IzzySoft has put together a 3rd party F-Droid repository called "IzzyOnDroid"

[Disclaimer from IzzySoft:](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info) "I have not thoroughly checked the .apk files available here. As stated above, they are directly taken from the repositories of their respective developers. Some basic measures are taken, though"

The APKs are scanned with VirusTotal, and then given a security ranking according to that result. See the 👉 [IzzyOnDroid Security Section](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info#security).

To add the repository, go to their 👉 [web page](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid), tap and share the QRCode image to your QRCode app, where you need to copy the info to your clipboard.

([Barcode scanner](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.atharok.barcodescanner/s) can do this)

Then you open F-Droid, and go to

—> Settings

—> Repositories

—> + (upper right)

A window pops up w/boxes auto populated. Click OK.

After that, you refresh repos & enjoy the new apps

Verify F-Droid.apk on Android

1. Install Termux (from GitHub)

2. Give Termux file access by typing termux-setup-storage in Termux, and select "Allow"

3. Update Termux by typing

apt-get update && apt full-upgrade -y

4. Type

apt install gnupg

5. Type

apt install wget

6. Type this & tap "Allow"

termux-setup-storage

7. Change to Download folder by typing

cd /sdcard/Download/

8. Download the F-Droid APK & save it in the Download folder by typing this in Termux

wget https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk

9. Download the F-Droid PGP Signature .asc file from https://f-droid.org and save it in the Download folder using a web browser, or by typing this in Termux

wget https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk.asc

10. Type this in Termux to verify the F-Droid.apk file signature

gpg --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --verify F-Droid.apk.asc

11. You should see the Good signature from "F-Droid admin@f-droid.org" message verifying the file signature is good.

# F-Droid Open Source App Store

F-Droid is the free and open source (FOSS) app store that only has open source apps, without any of Google's spyware or anti free speech code embedded.

You can use a web browser to download the F-droid.apk file from https://f-droid.org and sideload it onto any Android phone.

You can then use the F-droid App Store to install open source apps, and replace the spyware apps that came with your Android phone, such as a keyboard that doesn't log or spy what you type, an email client, camera app, photo gallery, etc..

Since the F-Droid apk file is not coming through Google Play, you should verify the file signature before you install it. This helps to ensure that it was not modified by anyone when you downloaded it.

Instructions for verifying the F-Droid.apk file can be found in the next post. There is no known GUI method for verifying the .asc signature.

Telegram is not the same as Signal and SimpleX.

Telegram is primarily a social media app, whereas Signal and SimpleX are primarily messaging apps.

That said, I'm leaving Telegram after 8 years because just this past year they've started putting people in Telegram jail for speaking out against all this woke cultural Marxism being crammed down everyone's throat.

They talk to friends and cousins using texts.

We have Nextcloud Talk running on or own server for private family chats and video calls.

It's much more than just Biden.

It's the neo-Marxists running the United Nations that are attempting to destabilize and dismantlebWestern civilization and dismantle individual freedom and replaced it with Communism.

My kids are having issues receiving text message notifications on their locked down multiuser "kid accounts" on their DeGoogled GrapheneOS phones.

Amazon targets their political opposition by banning them and deplatforming websites that won't bow to Amazon's oppressive political ideas. (For example Gun Broker, Parler and Gab Social)

Fortunately when it comes to Amazon Books, there are a few options you can use instead.

[OpenLibrary](http://OpenLibrary.org) is a good alternative to Amazon Books offering you a place to check out and borrow books for free.

Give them a go! Maybe you can add good wholesome books yourself.

# OpenSnitch Network Connection Monitor

OpenSnitch is not available in any of the repositories right now, so you must install it in a different manner.

This means once it is installed, it will not be updated. You will have to download and install updates MS Windows style 😟 until it becomes available in a repository.

The easiest way to currently install OpenSnitch is to grab the .deb packages for Debian based distros, (Ubuntu, Mint, Pop OS, etc). You must grab both the daemon and the GUI ".deb" files.

Once downloaded, you can double-click them in a file browser, which will launch the .deb files in the software center.

1. Grab the daemon .deb:

(click on Latest)

https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/releases

2. Grab the GUI .deb file:

(Latest)

https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/releases

3. Browse to your saved files & double-click them. This brings up the Software Center. Click install from there.

There are also .rpm files.

# Create Bootable USB Drive With Multiple Distros

[Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/) is a newer program for creating a bootable USB stick that can be used to test out multiple Linux distributions using one USB stick. Then if you want to install one of those ditros onto a computer, you can do that as well.

Ventoy isn't in distro repositories yet, so you must get it from GitHub and unzip and run it directly from the folder:

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases

(Get the release with the green "Latest" button next to it.)

TechHut on Odysee [steps you through the process in this video](https://odysee.com/@TechHut:1/make-a-multiboot-usb-for-linux,-windows,:6)

Note:

TechHut does take the slightly more painful way of opening up the command line in Linux, but you don't need to do that. You can simply double-click the VentoyGUI.x86_64 file (for 64-bit Intel/AMD computers), and use that to create a Ventoy USB stick.

Note 2: Ventoy mounts the .iso install file as a DVD/CD drive, and this has been known to cause issues with installers on some BIOS setups, which throws an error. If this happens, you will need to use Rufus, Baleana Etcher or the USB creator that comes with you Linux distro. Common Linux USB creators are **usb-creator-gtk**, **usb-creator-kde**, and **mx-live-usb-maker**.

Video DownloadHelper is is an addon for Firefox that enables you to download videos from almost any website from directly within Firefox.

Google Web Store has blocked this particular extension from working in Chromium based browsers because Google owns YouTube, and they will not allow extensions to download from YouTube, so you will have to use this extension/addon in Firefox.

Here is the website:

https://www.downloadhelper.net/

Here is a tutorial on how to install and use Video DownloadHelper. (Please note, in spite of what the video shows, after installed the extension in Chromium based browsers, the extension will tell you Google Web Store is blocking it and that you will need to use Firefox)

## How to Configure and Use qBittorrent

#OpenSourceFreedomSoftware

You can get many things through Bittorrents. It is one of the best ways to download Linux distros, but only if you use the official bittorrent from the distro's website.

Downloading a distro via Bittorrent might make it look like you are grabbing movies or music, so here's how you set up qBittorrent to help keep yourself off of your ISP's radar.

Click each step to go to a more detailed tutorial for that step.

1. Enable Search

7. Use a VPN with your system There are so many options on VPNs, so we're not going to attempt to tackle this

Most tutorials recommend you use a VPN, but you can try these settings, and if your ISP leaves you alone, no need to pay for a VPN. If you get the letter, you can then get a VPN.

Note: You can do the exact same things in Transmission (https://transmissionbt.com/), except search.

## QBITTORRENT SETUP STEP 1

1. Enable Search

Note 1: If you enable search, never grab a distro torrent from the search tool as you may very likely get some virus hacker version of the distro. Always get the bittorrent from the distro's official website, and open that in qBittorrent.

a. Check the checkbox "View -> Search"

b. Click the "Search" tab

c. Click the "Search plugins..." button

d. Click the "Check for Updates" button,

and the search site plugins will

automatically be added.

See the video for a visual tutorial on enabling and using Search in qBittorrent.

Note 2: You can sort results by number of seeders to bring the active torrents to the top.

## QBITTORRENT SETUP STEP 2

2. Require Encryption

a. In "Tools -> Preferences -> Bittorrent" set "Encryption mode:" to "Require encryption"

Keep yourself private. There is no need to let your ISP or anyone else see what files you're downloading. With this setting, only those connected to you will know which files are being shared.

## QBITTORRENT SETUP STEP 3

3. Use a USA IP Blocklist

The USA is really uptight over Bittorrent usage, so just block all of the USA IP addresses. You don't need them.

a. Get the USA blocklist from

www.iblocklist.com

- https://www.iblocklist.com/lists?category=country

b. Extract and then rename the file

extension to .p2p

c. Check the "Filter path" checkbox at "Tools -> Preferences -> Connection -> IP Filtering"

d. Load the .p2p file into qBittorrent at "Tools -> Preferences -> Connection -> IP Filtering"

e. Click the little refresh button to the right with the "circle arrow" icon to apply the blocklist rules.

## QBITTORRENT SETUP STEP 4

4. Limit the Number of Connections

a. Under Connection Preferences "Tools->Preferences -> Connection -> Connection Limits"

b. Set:

- Global maximum to 60

- Maximum per torrent to 30

- Global max upload slots to 3

- Max per torrent upload slots to 3

Bittorrent clients usually default to 300-500 total connections, and ISPs HATE that. They'll send you a shut down notice in a jiffy if they see all that traffic, plus all those connections have been know to shut down their routers.

## QBITTORRENT SETUP STEP 5

5. Limit Download and Upload Speeds

a. Set speeds at "Tools -> Preferences -> Speed -> Global Rate Limits"

- To:

- Uploads: 100KiBs

- Downloads: 600KiBs

If you run max speed for hours or days on end sharing Linux distros with the world, just about any ISP will get annoyed. Streaming data at 600 KBs is like you're watching internet TV, and that's not such a nuisance to them, so keep it throttled.

## QBITTORRENT SETUP STEP 6

6. Use a Different Port on Each Startup

a. At "Tools->Preferences -> Connection -> Listening Port"

b. Check the option

- "Use different port on each startup"

Note 1: The "different port on each startup" feature appears to be missing in the latest 4.5.0 release. Maybe they moved it to another settings location.

Note 2: The "Use a different port on each startup" option is now embedded into the port chooser. You enter 0 into "Port used for incoming connections" to automatically choose a random port on startup.

Did you know that Linux has a great tool for analyzing and figuring out where all you hard drive data is residing?

"Disk Usage Analyzer" is perfect for finding out which apps and files are eating up all your disk space. Do you have large downloads you forgot about? Are 5 different web browser chached files taking up Gigs space?

The actual filename for "Disk Usage" is called "Baobab", which are those cool African trees in the picture's background. They probably named it this because of the ring chart that baobab uses looks like the top of a Baobab tree, but don't quote me on that. That's just s speculation.

If "Disk Usage" (aka baobab) isn't already install on your system by default, you can install "Disk Usage" like so . .

On Debian based distros:

`sudo apt install baobab`

On Arch based distros:

`pacman -S baobab`

. . . or install baobab however your system installs packages
