Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Debloating & Optimizing Nox

Debloating Nox

Nox, despite being the most feature-filled Android emulator, has a lot of negativity surrounding it due to their antics when it comes to making income off of their program. It is known for running repeated advertisments in the background, calling home and passing along system information (outside of your Android instance) as well as a vast amount of potentially sensitive data in an encrypted payload back to their multitude of servers. With the following preventitive measures, we can stop a majority of this happening as well as greatly improve the overall performance.

  1. Download and Install a fresh copy of Nox. The latest version is fine (for now). If you already have it installed, that is fine too. No need to reinstall.

  2. Enable Root Mode on Nox by clicking the gear icon and then checking the Root Startup box.

  3. Install a new Launcher from the Play Store. ANYTHING but Nox's default. I suggest [Nova Launcher](https://play.google.com/s

Running a Plex media server on Azure

For years I was dedicated to my craft of buying records of vinyl, ripping the songs to WAV and Djing alongside my digital collection of music compiled over years from various sources. More recently, I've found myself almost entirely converted to the use of Spotify! However, some of my more obscure soundcloud downloads and vinyl rips are missing from Spotify and so an Azure based Plex server, and the Plex app on my laptop and phone are the perfect solution.

I followed the steps from this video https://youtu.be/ylklaOXz8Fc with a few tweaks along the way.

Virtual Machine

  1. Download Plex Media Server from https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/. In this tutorial, I will use a Linux VM and so downloaded the Linux version of Plex.
  2. Create a resource group. Mine is called 'Plex'.
  3. Inside 'Plex' RG, create a storage account. Mine is called 'alexplex'.
  4. Once created, inside your storage account e.g. 'alexplex', click File shares (under File Service) and add a File share. Mine is called 'plex' and I se
