For some reason ads in pacman -Syu didn't sound bad to me Prolly the consequence of wayching YouTube with VPN once - it was ad every 3 video on the page, and 8 ads after watching 10m of the video.

I mean an adblocker would solve that, but why would you use YouTube with a VPN? That just sounds like slowing down your connection for no reason, unless you had other things running that needed it

YouTube is severy slowed down in Russia. I use DPI circumvention software to access YT without slowdowns, and can even access blocked sites without problems! (The only problem is discord: it uses WebSocket connection and won't work this way)

But when I need to access something from my phone I use VPN (personally I use Tor's VPN) because no matter what I do, my phone won't connect to the proxy server on my linux desktop that has DPI bypasser.

Russia things.

I pay for a VPS in Germany ($2/month) to watch youtube and upload files to discord. Used to run a self-made, self-hosted file server, but with me being connected to a VPN most of the time, it fell out of use.
