  • While cstom ROMs of Android TV do exist, Samsung does not want you to truly own your device and has locked it down. The only option I see is to use your TV as a dumb TV: hook up any PC to your TV's HDMI ports (I use a Raspi 5 running Ubuntu for that). The PC gives you full control over what you want to install, which may include an adblocker in the browser or free YouTube frontends such as FreeTube.

  • Tell me you haven't read the article without telling me you haven't read the article.

    Three quarters of Dubai’s food is delivered by ship with another quarter flown in, but air transport has been as badly affected as shipping. On March 7 the IRGC hit the Dunia International Airport with a missile effectively closing it down.

  • OpenMediaVault. CasaOS. There may be others.

    No drop-in replacements for everything TrueNAS did, but at least something.

  • recommending Ubuntu to a non-technical family member invites more trouble than relief.

    Backing up claims with evidence has come out of fashion, I see. But doing so would have shown the author that his couldn't be further from the truth: in fact, people with very limited computer literacy and needs (a bit of browsing, media consumption, communication, light office use) are the easiest demographic to migrate to Linux. It's the power users with their multitude of applications and deeply ingrained habits that may have a hard time to make the switch. And I've seen even those come 'round because they're getting tired of MS breaking their OS every other week now and forcing shit down their throat that they neither want nor need.

    But, no, let's ignore all that and go for the obvious solution: a 600 USD Macbook that will put people through the same pains of transitioning to a different system, only to be yet again vendor-locked to a new corporate environment that will chip away at their ownership of their machines until it, too, is fully enshittified.

  • Self hosting [...] P2P

    You do realise that's a contradiction, right?

    Unless you're hosting a TOR node (which is outside of the scope here and, in the case of exit nodes, extremely risky), there's nothing here that's relevant to self-hosting.

  • I'm afraid that misses the point. You can randomise device and network identifiers all you want: if you are using an account, which all of the above require you to do, you're identifiable, and all your activity will be tied to the account.

  • Sure, that's what I do for hosting my stuff. DDNS does not help with SSH whitelisting because that is IP-based, not based on a URL.

  • Set up a firewall and only open port 22 with your IP (you can look it up using ip.me).

    I keep wondering about this part whenever I read it. Do y'all have static IP addresses so you can do this easily? If I did this, I'd probably lock myself out within a week (which is roughly the interval at which my public IPv4 will change).

  • At 57 apps, this isn't the browser. This is likely a collection of absolutely cancerous apps (Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.) that are responsible for the egregious amounts of tracking /e/OS partly blocks.

    Also, don't be fooled into thinking you can use these apps in a privacy-friendly way. Just because you're running software that blocks any additional tracking, spying on you is built into their core functionality and cannot be disabled. The only way to win the game is not to play it.
