Sadly I think we’ll have to take the water to them.
My current approach is building a media center for me, as a model for one I’ll send to my siblings/friends.
Besides being a media center, it’ll enable replication between them, with some backup services for laptops and phones. And some replacements for things like facebook/photo sharing, etc (and have a chat mechanism, most likely via XMPP).
And…it’ll have something like PiHole that I’ll manage centrally.
“raw dogging the Internet”… I chuckled out loud
One day, after I am done with -insert reason here-, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.
For some reason you’re “insert reason here” was dropped by lemmy. I guess a sequential less-than/greater-than messes with it.
It’s the difficulty, Plain and simple.
I knew in the late 90’s what was coming, and have tried to minimize my own exposure, but family and friends just want the convenience.
I have a friend who specializes in network and data security and he uses all the privacy-invading garbage like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc, because “it’s convenient”. 🤦🏼
We need a simple, seamless solution to provide the features people want.
We have some of these things in Freedombox, CasaOS, and some OSS solutions, etc, but these are all beyond the skills of the average user. They’re even a big challenge for me, because I’m busy.
Though I’m working on a single-box solution for my family, and which provides backup to each other, media server, phone backup (mostly photos and videos), etc.
It’s pretty hard to do when phones are resistant to third party solutions.
Right?
$450 and a toaster to use something like the external batteries I’ve used for a decade.
Nope.
Just watched them all a few weeks ago, still very funny, see nothing wrong with any of it. The movies are all about absurdity.
So you have nothing to hide, eh?
These tvs, like smartphones, track lots of stuff. And the databases they feed make all sorts of inferences.
They even scan what you’re watching from other sources and can determine what show it is, and report that info too.
They know when you’re home and leave, to some extent.
I’ve read of patents for wifi tech in tvs that will connect to other TVs of the same brand for a connection if you don’t set one up.
They definitely use their own DNS, and probably have some hard coded IPs so you can’t block them phoning home via DNS (I’ve tested this myself). I can see this traffic even when I setup DNS blocks - they still hit the vendor’s service IPs (looking at you, Samsung).
These companies are openly antagonistic and adversarial to us, and you “have nothing to hide”?
Another hero we didn’t know we needed.
Have my grateful uovote.
God I hate compressed file support in explorer.
I even disable zip support. Let me use my own app for that.

Wait, no, electricity to run my fridge, convection oven and stove. 😁
Yea, from what I’ve read attractive folks hold our attention better, and attractive women do more so, for both men and women.
Something in the way we’re wired.
Wow, I never made that connection
I think he’s talking about with ARM-based systems things tend to be more monolithic.
I don’t know that this is true, I haven’t read enough about them.
will depend more on whether Ryobi kills off the USB Lithium line like they did the Tek4 line.
This is where learning how to rebuild your own batteries cones in. Nearly all of them use multiple 18650 batteries, which cost about $2 each online.
I’ve rebuilt a few for my power tools. Larger ones cost about $10-$15 to rebuild. And newer batteries have greater capacity too.
Having worked in restaurants for years and been to multiple health and safety classes in multiple states, I call bullshit.
Washing chicken spreads bacteria all over everything wherever it’s done: the walls, floor, ceiling. Do you sanitize the ceiling after you do this?
I’ve not met a single “boomer” that does this.
I know not a single American that does this.
I’ve only heard of it from elsewhere.
I really don’t like Gordon, but I’m full on with him in this case. It deserves his “Fucking hell!”
(cough cough) Note their name - “gullible”
They got me too until I read their next comment. Haha
You mean probably the most popular pics of her?
