Step 1. Built Internet to get away from TV

Step 2. Corporate Greed TV moves over and ruins Internet.

Step 3. Build New Internet to escape Old Internet Ruined by TV bloodsuckers.

Step 4. Go back to step 2 and replace tech names with next itteration.

Even owning Smart devices and having them always plugged in may potentially be a vector, Rob did a good breakdown on how this is achieved.

Did you know that your IOT devices are secretly communicating with each other? This includes IOT devices that are not in your home. Did you know that what your IOT devices do may be transmitted to third parties? Did you know that your TV may also have the capability and may currently be transmitting your activity far and wide?

There are secret communications occurring between IOT devices using protocols like Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, Thread, 802.15, and LoRa that you likely didn’t expect or was not explained when you bought these devices.

Just like Amazon Echo has been conscripted to work with the Amazon Sidewalk Mesh network, other networks are in operation

12.1" Damn. I would have gotten excited if it was a 6-8" device

Yeah I would definitely skip out on Mastodon and Lemmy directly. They’re fine as a temporary visit but long term nah.

Dickhead meet Dickbutt, sounds like reddit poetry to me

It was a PITA on Arch because the Debian roots didn’t play well.

I canned all usage many years ago.

Block the ISP DNS and use your own on the router level.

You could look into wireguard or VPN on the router level.

Probably OpenSense.

As long ad your device has a IMEI though not like it matters.

There’s probably a million other things you would need too. Make sure your browser doesn’t use its own DNS, eg, Firefox + CloudFlare by default.

I assume you could theoretically split traffic up over multiple ISP’s making it a PITA to try to make sense of.

Also obviously separate trusted & untrusted devices, WiFi and wired into separate networks.

Earthquakes and fallout are no biggie, just get yourself a standard elementary school desk and you good.

Imagine them disconnecting someone’s land-line phone if they detected heresy against Zeus & Mount Olympus.

They should argue that they are not qualified to be a police force, nor a courthouse. They are simply a private business & a utility.

This is called Controlled Opposition.

The Oil Companies do the same thing – fund the leaders of anti-oil activists in countries where they are not #1 and use them as a proxy to target and harm their competitors.

Profit. Rinse & repeat.

Mafia tactics. The oil companies let government money and investors innovate in the solar industry and pay all the upfront costs. Then did a controlled collapsed and bought the companies IP up in bankruptcy for pennies to the dollar. And now that the oil companies own the Patents & IP it’s totally okay for you to morally buy their products.

The bottom line is that The House Always Wins and what matters is who is allowed to collect the money for the grift. Territory of who is allowed to buy & sell on what streets.

We would be better off if Firefox didn’t exist and the EU broke up Google for Anti-trust. At least then Manifest v3.0 DRM might not have come to be.

Is it me or is source forge just the mark of dead things.

I always avoid that place. It feels like where you go to get broken stuff.

They’re gonna take me out back and shoot me for saying it but Launchpad too. Like I’m glad it works for you but it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997. How are we going to attract new talent when the rift between the average developers and the old guard widens over time. All the git VCS modernization supercharged development. Like bugzilla was “fine”, but " fine" was the problem in a world of better when you couldn’t even upload a > 250kb jpeg and other legacy hold us back stuff.

The average person doesn’t even have a IQ of 100 and we are in a decline. Let it sink in.

If you swap it out for Lineage problem solved. I agree & strongly recommend against using a stock Sony ROM. It kind of defeats the point of buying one.

There you have it folks. Its expensive and you pay upfront. Most people don’t have $1500 laying around to wing at a phone yet alone a $500 emergency budget sadly. Especially these days.

Right, like people want to develop wrist pain over a damn phone. 5&6" is hard to come by.

Probably because you buy them upfront and online mostly and not from the service providers.

Flashing Lineage on the 1 II is trivial now compared to a few years ago.

The stock ROM is loaded with shitware in II III and V.

The shape is great not too big for the hand.

The camera is decent, surely better in VI. No stupid AI color boost and faking pictures.

The price is steep as you know.

The screens feel like they could have been brighter.

3.5mm AUX, MicroSD as you know.

Sony ASOP is about the only thing keeping me interested in their lineups.

Better than Sam or Apple. But to be honest all cellphones are trash, satellite StarLink phone and others can’t happen soon enough or a decent Linux phone.

Its a solid plan.

Fdroid literally says fennec tracks you under “anti-features”, did I miss something?

When you first saw C++ were you blinded by its majesty?
