Dropbox telemetry can't be disabled
maestral is an open source Mac/Linux client. Just one example, I’m sure there are others.

New Dropbox client moves files from –/ to –/Library
Worth mention the open source project Maestral: https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral
(an unofficial Dropbox client)

If you're archiving stuff to a cloud-synced folder, you NEED a strategy for ensuring ongoing integrity.
Sometime late last fall, my NAS rebooted and my ZFS pools didn't come back online automatically, but Docker did automatically restart the Maestral client. In so doing, it detected an empty folder...and...promptly deleted EVERYTHING in my Dropbox, assuming I'd just deleted everything locally. It's an issue that has had at least a few bug reports and which as of yet still hasn't been addressed - basically, the client needs but does not have a way to say "a bunch of stuff is changing, are you sure?" before doing it - especially on a restart of the client.

Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu
>- Debug apps which don't opt into debugging, using gdb/lldb, without disabling SIP. It's my computer, I should be root, I should be able to introspect how processes execute on it. Not being able to do so prevented me from debugging https://github.com/samschott/maestral/issues/597, since I had to disable SIP, which required rebooting, which stopped the bug from happening.
Another option is to re-sign the application with the entitlements necessary for debugging.

Dropbox Client or 3rd party client for Mac Mini M1?
there is a native build as beta, but I found Maestral much better :) https://github.com/samschott/maestral

Dropbox Sync does not natively support Apple Silicon
3) No support for extended file attributes (so you cannot sync .app bundles)

Nine Raspberry Pis power this entire office
If you still haven't found a use for them: they make for good low-power, always-on, headless networked servers for processing-light tasks.
Other commentators mentioned pihole/DNS, WireGuard, and music streaming, but you can also use them for a (slow) NFS server, persistent Syncthing node, Maestral host[1] (third-party Dropbox client written in Python (that can actually run on the Raspberry Pi, unlike the official Dropbox client)), or device that maintains a connection to a distributed network (e.g. Hyporborea/cjdns).

First new ThinkPad in awhile: An x270 I nabbed for cheap & installed my first Linux on :)
I'd been reading up on Linux for the last little bit, learning about different distros and what things to look out for - so when this thing arrived I jumped onto the latest Fedora release & am really enjoying it. I've tweaked some Gnome extensions, gotten my favorite writing app downloaded, set up the awesome Maestral open-source Dropbox client, and set up a decent little undervolt using intel-undervolt, mprime, cinebench, and glmark2 :)

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
https://pi-hole.net/
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Overwhelmed by a project
Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

Is there an Android app that blocks the ads on games?
It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
What are some alternatives?
onedrive - OneDrive Client for Linux
Technitium DNS Server - Technitium DNS Server
assembler - A modern UI framework
blocky - Fast and lightweight DNS proxy as ad-blocker for local network with many features
darts - A python library for user-friendly forecasting and anomaly detection on time series.
AdGuardHome - Network-wide ads & trackers blocking DNS server
Mosh - Mobile Shell
PowerDNS-Admin - A PowerDNS web interface with advanced features
openmtp - OpenMTP - Advanced Android File Transfer Application for macOS
bypass-paywalls-chrome - Bypass Paywalls web browser extension for Chrome and Firefox.
kivy - Open source UI framework written in Python, running on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS
pihole-regex - Custom regex filter list for use with Pi-hole.
