Absolutely, this is good advice. I forgot to add that I bought one of those giant commercial dehumidifiers once discovered. Since it's so oversized it keeps much of the house pretty dry.

Last time I went bouldering, I broke my tibial plateau. Never again.

Lots of great suggestions. If you want one that will make you mad, Swindled is a great one about white collar crime. Podcaster is left leaning (outwardly so) and it's (sometimes) therapeutic to hear him talk about some of the topics.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that - mine does do this, and the LED is right in the bottom middle, and it's super bright.

It probably doesn't need to be - but it was required to set up. Before I had my shield, I allowed local connections for local streaming, but you are correct, it's probably no longer necessary.

Ah, yeah, OpenBSD would do it. You'd basically be limited to running it in a VM which would have severe overhead. For Linux based stuff, though, it has minimal overhead.

Interesting, what OS are you running? I've never ran into one that it doesn't work on so that's surprising.

I would counter that disadvantage with this: due to testing constraints, docker containers are usually updated more quickly when there's a 0 day, and you don't have to patch your entire OS if one single container has one. It reduces operator overhead greatly, because that's what it's designed to do. Even if one of your containers has a vulnerability, because it's a container, it won't necessarily affect your entire system, depending on the vulnerability.

I suppose that it adds technical overhead (not sure I would call it severe though), but in my opinion the benefit of docker is how easy it is to spin up a new service, and how easy it is to update and maintain the containers.

So, I use regex to block all Roku domains on my network via pihole:

(ads|logs|cloudservices|image|images|web|prod.mobile|wwwimg|captive|customer-feedbacks|amoeba|amoeba2|sr|giga.sb|cs).roku(.admeasurement)*.com$

Then, possibly overkill due to the above, I used OpnSense firewall rules to block all traffic from my Roku tv. I think I just got fed up with seeing Roku spam in my pihole, as the above regex seems to completely "break" Roku.

After that, I set up FLauncher (following the method #2 instructions on the gitlab page) on my shield. This makes it so I only see the Roku launcher for a few seconds while the shield starts up, and then I'm dropped straight into flauncher. I chose flauncher because it's very simple and barebones, so you might want to explore other options if you want more advanced features. I don't really need those features since I'm usually using an app anyway.

Note that I did all of that after the tv was configured and set up, YMMV if it's a brand new tv as it may need to call home to do the initial set up.

Roku is bad, I have one older Roku ""smart"" tv that I just block from accessing the internet entirely, and use a shield with a custom launcher instead.

Fuck Russia

You can host remote files via SFTP + cloudflared (or another reverse tunnel provider) without opening any ports. Then you use a file manager to add a network share with your SFTP information.

For the calendar, WebDAV is probably your best bet, which also works with reverse tunneling. You can also use WebDAV in place of SFTP if you prefer to only have one (or two with a reverse tunnel) service configured. Nextcloud is a great option since it has WebDAV and file management built in.

I would use Docker to do it all, but there is a learning curve associated with setting all of this up in a secure way (which is what the reverse tunnel helps with).

topgrade is great. Distros such as bazzite use it for all of their updates, under the hood anyway.

Molly White is very bright, and she makes them feel inadequate so they "have to" attack her. It's truly pathetic.

I thought it was a scam at first, as on the surface it resembles a romance/pig butchering scam. But if you dig a little deeper, it seems like it could be a harassment campaign targeting someone. The matrix server basically doxes someone's workplace, and the pictures of "Nicole" are screenshots from a webcam. At no point have I noticed any ask for sending funds.

I'm judging you by your username.

I don't think this is a romance scam. The linked matrix basically doxes her workplace and all of her images, like you said, appear to be from a webcam. It looks more like harassment to me.

I actually think it might not be financial. All of the photos of her are screenshots from a webcam, and the linked matrix basically doxes her workplace. I unfortunately get the vibe that she's being harassed.

Yeah, pretty much. Although I'm sure plenty of people use it for malicious purposes, since it's more convenient than carrying around a laptop, or for building out/competing on the opwngrid.

It's definitely not meant for commercial use, if that's what you're asking.

Pwnagotchi mainly just does gamified deauth, by default it doesn't do the cracking of the collected pcaps.

Aircrackng can be installed as a plugin, but since it typically runs on rpi zeros it isn't very performant. You'd typically want to move your pcaps to a different machine to do the cracking portion (either using aircrack or hashcat), or use aircrack's entire suite on a more powerful laptop or something like that.
