People on Lemmy seem to be Pewdiepie bootlickers. Idk why but it’s really weird. Apparently you can do whatever but as long as you promote Linux, Lemmy will love you. Ridiculous.

Works perfectly on my end…

Maybe give literally ANY additional context here instead of a vague question?

Employer background checks won’t show medical history, at least for the Private Sector.

Dank brekfast sandwiches. Like from an amish market. I’m talking actual giant slabs of sausage they slap onto the grill and cut up. And fresh eggs. Fresh cheese. Amazing bread. That’s heaven.

No this is just a shitpost.

Bruh, you’re being extremely optimistic that Mozilla going down won’t kill forks. Take librewolf for example. It’s like 1 dev or something. No way that dude is gonna maintain security fixes and stuff on his own. That takes an entire full-time paid dev team. Ladybird I’ve heard about for ages, however who the hell knows when/if that would be viable and maintained on its own. Could difference projects pool resources and maintain it together? Yea, sure it could. Is that guaranteed or likely to happen any time soon? Fuck no.

Bottom line is Mozilla going bye bye would almost guarantee the deaths of all forks. To think otherwise is naive.

Just an fyi, if Firefox is shut down then so is Librewolf and literally every other fork. People don’t seem to understand this…

Omfg mods please. How many of these beating a dead horse shitposts are you guys going to allow here? This community is a joke. Please do SOMETHING.

Agreed on Silent Hill. Amazing movie. Weird that people thought it was confusing? I saw that movie as a young kid, having never played the games, and it made perfect sense… idk how anyone can watch that and not understand what’s going on. The movie had a very simple plot lol.

So most alternative router firmware comes with a feature that can be configured to re-route any hard coded DNS through the pihole. I.e., my Smart TV will switch to Google DNS if it can’t connect through your set DNS. The feature I mentioned will force this to always go through your configured DNS. This is completely solves that issue. I’ve thoroughly tested this and it 100% works. Also routers have a feature that can block a device from accessing the WAN at all, and only allow them to access the LAN. This is just a simple toggle in my router and extremely easy to use. I block certain devices that I don’t want to have intentet at all but that I want to access over the network (i.e. plex)

Just to be clear, my goal with my setup is limiting tracking, telemetry, and ads.

I don’t understand your response. You’re essentially doing the exact same thing I am. Preventing iot devices from accessing wan. The end result in the same, except you’re blocking it from accessing other devices on lan as well. But access to wan is blocked which is the most important. If a device has a security vulnerability then by blocking wan access, you’re blocking an attacker from getting in, unless someone malicious is already on your local network, which in that case you’re fucked anyway. Apologies if i misunderstood your point.

A better solution is to use a pihole to block all domains that the TV pings, and only let through ones that allow you to use streaming apps (i.e. netflix API domain.)

Another good solution is to block WAN access for specific devices and only allow them to communicate over LAN. This would be done on your Router. This method would allow local streaming using Jellyfin but wouldn’t allow streaming apps like Netflix since that requires communication with the outside Internet.

I relate to this. unfortunately there is nothing you can do. Most people simply just do not fucking care. The vast majority actually. Just get used to feeling like a weirdo or just stop mentioning it. The latter is probably better. I don’t even bother anymore. I know exactly what not to say since I know what will just get me weird looks or have people tell me to take off my tin foil hat. It sucks but it is what it is.

Valentina is the only true hot sauce. It makes Chalula taste like dogshit in comparison. That’s how perfect it is.
