  • When my smart TV was attached to the internet, because a friend helped me get it into my place she was fairly insistent on setting it up to the internet, I had no idea how much data it was sending places. I set up my first go at a pi-hole and say that a good majority of the internet signals coming and going from my place was from the TV.

    Smart TV’s are not cool, I bought it to display video not spy on me and sell ads to me. I have since ditched that email address it’s only used for YouTube now. I would ditch the email entirely if the Google did not own YouTube. It breaks my buy Canadian heart that I am stuck using YouTube and Reddit, I am however trying to cut down on the groups and channels I subscribe to or pay attention to.

  • After my first pihole setup (I hate SD cards with a passion now), I saw what my “smartTV” was doing and I pulled it off the internet. The TV really did not like being off of the internet but I found ways around that. I have an Apple TV as my smart stuff.

    I have 2 pi5’s with NVMe drives and a pi4 booting off of an external NVMe drive. Last night I thought about figuring out a way to download the youtube videos and setting up a jellyfin sever. Or breaking and getting using Firefox and attaching one of my pi5’s to the TV and just doing it that way.

  • Yes but I am looking for an option for my TV. Not to interested in sending everything from my iPad to my TV, I may break because the ads on youtube are so annoying.

    I have a pi 5 that I am considering using as an option but I I do like the idea of having a remote control.

  • I am happy the National Observer picked her up and I like what this segment will become, not to happy she is posting on youtube, as I am trying to get away from it. Stopped paying for Premium, and have started downsizing my subscriptions.

    I am looking for ways to say arr and 🏴‍☠️ youtube stuff to degoogle my life.

  • I have been watching several CBC shows, without ads via my pi-hole, I would watch CBC news via youtube whenever I wanted to and could because CBCNN is not always streaming but now that I am not paying for youtube and trying to get off of youtube, first by watching less US stuff. Seeing as how I got a refund for my year worth of youtube, and several other US service providers, I can afford the $6 a month to watch CBCNN ad free on the CBC app.
