So you're suggesting more "network" control. I like it.

AFWall+

I use NetGuard, but I don't see any benefits from having root in it.

PcapDroid

Hmm, interesting, I think the closest thing that I use now is TrackerControl.

AdAway

I'm using my VPN "socket" with TrackerControl.

define your own custom firewall rules is very powerful

Yeah, and also easy to mess up connections so they no longer work properly. 😆

I redirect all DNS requests to my own DNS with a custom rule (for apps, like Termux, using hardcoded DNS lookups instead of what the phone is set to)

That seems cool. For now, I'm using Mullvad's public DNS service. See their dns-blocklists.

I also know App Manager, and I'm using it and with root it with ease blocks any necessary trackers and other things. Have you tried it?

From the security standpoint, I think rooting is always against the security. That's why DivestOS and GrapheneOS are against it, and it shouldn't be tried. However, I was interested in Shizuku that also is some another hole to patch up when exploited.

KernelSU is unsafe

Is any root safe though?

lsposed manager

I don't know what that is.

it hides root much better

To me, that's the funniest thing. I come from Linux and I want to have - let's say administrator (root) of my Android, which is also Linux as far I know. I know the Android is praised for its security, but come on, I wish to have control over my system as a working System Admin. That's the main purpose of my set-up. How come, any app can just check whether I have root or not? That's some bullshit.

  1. Custom ROM - LineageOS
  2. microG so I don't use proprietary Google Play Services
  3. and root so I can have full control over my smartphone

Google Play and their services are so tightly integrated with Android, no wonder GrapheneOS did their sandbox... However, I thought of doing the same with microG.

Let's see how apps will adapt it.

Yeah, but the default keyboard controls suck. And I think there is somewhere in the game "every time you fall and die - it's a progress" or something like this.

[–] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Rimworld!

I see many of you in the comments section. I will probably try it at some point. :)

Doom

Which one because I don't think this Doom you meant?

OpenRCT2

I tried it to work on Linux but no luck so far. :c

and Unreal Tournament

I see 2nd mention of this game. Could you link it with the Linux native port?

[–] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

So it's a biiiig rabbit hole, then.

Well, Factorio price policy says that they will never have a discount for their game. Full price only so you're committed.

it’s super okay at about 20/25€ once a year, maybe twice, bur if you’re late to the party it’s a whole lot of cash all at once!

Yeah, exactly.

exactly why paradox introduced a subscription for Stellaris’ DLCs at 10€/month

I didn't even know there was such a thing. Sucks, though.
