Animagraffs makes 3d explainers of how machines/vehicles work. The one on the “Big Boy” steam engine is amazing.

Ancient Americas talks about pre-columbian America

Do you ever have any trouble blocking port 53? Do any services break?

Form 1500 is involving unwanted sexually oriented mail. How does it stop spam? You have to provide specific mailings you want to stop.

Emporia Vue has circuit level monitoring. You can flash ESPHome to get rid of cloud functionality.

This sub is very anti paid-piracy. There’s a plexshares i believe but not very active. Lemmy is the perfect place to post these kinds of things.

Only when the artifacts in 4k look bad - like black squares on a black background due to compression. 1080p in that case is preferable.

This is great. I tried putting a shock sensor in my metal mailbox which is attached to my building and couldn’t get the signal to reach. This is a whole other level of advanced work!

Tell us about ssb. I also just bought an SDR to get my gas meter readings. Any other cool stuff I should check out?

There are certain esim providers that give you a number. Esimdb.com

This sub gets butthurt about paid services except for usenet.

Have you checked out stremio + real debrid? Have to have a computer connected but it works well and is dirt cheap.

I pay for IPTV and Emby services. This community will hate emby for not being FOSS but it has a better user experience than jellyfin IMO. There is not a great place to find them unfortunately.

It takes a little bit of effort but it’s a great time to do the following:

• get a password manager if you don’t have one already. I like 1password
• get an alias service. Proton bought simplelogin so it’s integrated, there’s also anonaddy
• gradually work through updating your online accounts from your old gmail to new aliases for each account (eg ebay@alias.domain.com) and set a complex password through your password manager that’s unique for each account

In a couple months you’ll eventually stop receiving emails to your gmail as you work through the accounts you use, and most incoming mail will all be through aliases. Then if you get spammed, you know what site leaked your email + you can turn off the alias and not get spam.

Juse use easyoptouts. Way cheaper for same thing.

So how do we access the list to see what got out?

You already have a pihole. I assume you like it. You could buy a cheap minipc/NUC and set up proxmox on it and learn to set up and configure a second pihole as a virtual machine. Then you’ll have a server running with the ability to expand as needed. You could look into setting up new network gear (like tp-link’s omada) and run the software controller in a VM. Or you could dabble with HomeAssistant and get into smarthome. Or set up a photo management tool like Immich. Like others have said, find a problem you want to solve and use these tools!
