it's fine. I don't have any smart appliances in my home.
I really hope that continues to be an option.
I worry it’ll end up like trying to buy a car that doesn’t constantly report your location (physically disconnecting the cellular antenna is still legal for now) or living without a cellphone and only paying with cash. With enough time, any semblance of privacy becomes weird, then illegal.

Couldn't you just buy a new, awesome TV and then not hook it up to the internet?
I set up my Samsung give it its initial update, and then blocked it from internet at my firewall. If I need it to do something I unblock it for a few minutes and then block it again when I'm done. I use streaming sticks for all my other work and they're just pie holed regularly.

'pretend this is transparent' is sending me. Bra-fucking-vo!

Welp, time to set up a MAC address whitelist.
Add a parental lock to the TV settings too.

We do a lot of streaming in my house unfortunately, mostly using Kodi to pirate anime. So it needs Wifi in our case. If I had some old (working) laptops and router around, I'd do a Pihole and VPN but alas.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Slap one of these under or behind your tv. Put pop-os Linux on it it. You can run pihole/Jellyfin/kodi off it at the same time. It will host your anime and index it with jellyfin, filter your entire network for ads, and give you kodi's excellent interface.
Jellyfin can grab metadata/subtitles/autoskip intros/on and on and has native kodi integration. It will run better on a beefer PC than the one above, but if youre just using it on 1 tv with kodi, you should be fine.

Wow the PNG is so transparent I am impressed. I think I have never seen anything so transparent before. You guys really know how to make stuff transparent. The most transparent in the world. Every expert knows this is the most transparent transparency transpering.

Best solution for these concerns in my opinion is
- TV for presentation in companies (often without smart apps)
- PiHole for blocking the most adds
- SHIELD for the apps, like YouTube without adds, stream apps, emulators, etc
Works like a charm for me, I did not see adds for month, maybe years. With the shield, I use SmartTube because I can login and don't have any adds. None. I also use an app for streaming (moonlight or something like that) to play my PC games on my tv with controller.

I live in fear that someone in my house will connect the tv to the WiFi and an update will just absolutely fuck it up.
Luckily I caught my brother in the act of doing this when he came to stay, it was with good intentions but I had to explain the reasons why.

wrote last edited by [email protected]How has SmartTube been for you? Is it an Android only or does it work on other platforms?
I’ve been a FreeTube user for years, but YouTube’s aggressive countermeasures has mostly rendered this program unusable (I use on Linux). Devs put out fixes but they work for a handful of days before YouTube breaks it again.

Thank you! Noted for next time! Saves me the trouble of having to use lasso to clean up the edges and feather any aliasing problems
I got bamboozled when I was surfing the web at AltaVista and tried to download this transparent pi hole png logo. It was saved as PNG and had transparent in the name. Brought it into Krita and I chuckled, so figured I’d troll a few persons online and added the “pretend this is transparent” to the meme.

LOL thanks bro. I was browsing the internet at AltaVista and downloaded a pi holo logo image that said
transparent PNGin the name. When I added the image in Krita I had a good laugh and decided I’d leave it as is here -

In GIMP, mark the layer as having transparancy

Oh, I've really wanted to self-host and do something like that, but I didn't wanna spend too much more money than I have (recently bought drives and a bay) and figured I'd use old/outdated/broken laptops to save money and be environmental, but I've been thwarted by proprietary chargers (an old Acer) and screens not turning on (a broken Mac). I'm a college student so I don't wanna drop my money too much in a month (gotta learn to budget somehow right?). Might ask my college IT if they've got old shit around instead.
