There was a time I used Plex with PlexAmp for music, pretty sure it kept stats

This is pretty much the step I need to get back to listening to my own music rather than streaming. Can it plugin to ‘offline’ apps?

I’m not familiar with how malware like that masks but you can pretty much find any traffic with a tool like WireShark. It’s just a matter of finding out how processes recreate themselves once killed.

If something lives in the storage of your router, specifically, I’d see about formatting the storage and flashing new firmware. As you stated, that may not solve anything.

Regardless of how they enter and what is installed where, once it’s inside your home network it can pretty much access anything. If you wanna be fully secure you’d need a firewall and just block any traffic you don’t specifically whitelist. As you can imagine, this is cumbersome.

Could it be that web services are divided into regions

Literally the only way they will learn. I really don’t understand how we as a society have accepted ads as a necessary evil. We all hate them, but we all also make them work. It’s horrible.

Prepaid credit card? Although I’m not sure to which extent it’s really private. Usually the type of ‘voucher’-like payment options are kinda sketchy.

I just get a notification stating I don’t allow them to track me so they have no garbage to stuff down my throat

So after several years of this guy plastered on every screen always anywhere, these are the ‘whys’ you came up with?

Ha, came here for this and was not disappointed.

Most flexible would be to make a PHP form with a MySQL/PostgreSQL database.

If you want an off the shelf solution maybe a Microsoft Power App or a FOSS alternative?

Who uses chrome anyway even there’s vivaldi
