Getting another number helps a lot in my opinion. If you're getting another sim in the same phone, I suppose it would be possible for whatever cell carrier is providing the service to be able to link your two sim cards to your identity. However, for other companies, I don't know of a way they could gather that your second sim phone number is linked to your first one. For instance, if you created two Discord accounts with your two phone numbers, you could theoretically be two completely different users that won't be linked together. I would personally go for a second number.

Here's a video covering basically all of NextDNS' settings! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUG57ynLb8I

Have never had a problem using a VPN with programming.dev

I'm aware of a network that blocks Mullvad as well, but found a way around it. It went through just fine if I was using a custom DNS server. I used NextDNS for this, but I imagine it would work with Cloudflare or something as well (but I highly recommend NextDNS anyways). Hope this helps!

Ah, understood. I'm unaware of any clients for Linux that would do what you're asking for. You could try using Anbox to run android apps and use the android solutions I've recommended in my last comment through that, but that's all I've got. Good luck!

Using Tubular here, which supports up to 2160p! Assuming the creator uploads at that resolution, of course. It's a fork of NewPipe, so NewPipe would probably allow for 1440p and 2160p as well, as well as any other fork of NewPipe (such as NewPipe X).

Honestly, it seems like you have a pretty good team already! You do have 3 water types though. Getting an Electrike and evolving it into a Manetric might balance out the team a little bit. Have fun in Hoenn!

I use virt-manager, aka Virtual Machine Manager. Using this specifically because of the winapps for Linux repo has instructions on how to get Windows apps to run through the VM to be integrated in a Linux environment.

I'm unsure as to what info is sent other than your IP with Newpipe, but you're correct that it will get a VPN address instead. Commenting to suggest a fork of Newpipe known as Tubular. Has SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike functionality!

Not sure if it has every feature you're looking for, but I was able to transition from Daylio to Daily You and be ok with it. Can't track what activities you did with buttons, but can track your mood every day with a journal entry for each day, and an image if you want. There's even a Python script to convert your entries from Daylio into Daily You!

I'll admit I haven't watched a stream in a while, so twitch could have easily updated something, but in my experience, yes it blocks ads!

Use Xtra if on Android!
