If you have a smart TV, you're already at a disadvantage.
One solution to consider might be a black hole DNS on your local network, like Pi-Hole, that can target this device and prevent all Google requests.
Another, unfortunately, might be to get a dumb TV and use an HTPC as your streaming solution for the content you already watch.
And another might be to look into custom TV OS options out in the wild.
Hey, just tossing in a comment here, I think this post is a good post!
The jar looks like it's made a glass, which is common and probably worth only a few dollars.
Jars of coins, however, are much more rare, and could be worth a lot more. It's kind of hard to make jars of coins. Maybe if you melt them together. Sounds like craftsman work.
If you have a picture of your jar of coins -- maybe this was an upload of the wrong jar? your glass one? -- please post it so we can assess the worth. Thanks.
Evil can't stand to be laughed at.
What's your hypervisor manager? Or are you just bare metal?
For VMWare and Proxmox both, I would recommend the community edition of Veeam. It can handle up to 10 VMs for free.
If you've got the funds as a small-to-large business, Veeam's first paid tier, on a yearly basis, is a solid option to backup even more.
Caveat emptor if you buy a license (or not): Veeam runs on Windows only. I have used, like, a single internal network Windows VM dedicated just to Veeam before. It has an easy to pick up UX after a little research, and the UI is clean.

I have looked for something similar. There are a number of spaces where FOSS project lists are maintained, but they are often focused on a singular topics like 'privacy' or something akin, and they aren't often parts of larger lists that can be sorted based on the conditions you mentioned above.
The closest thing, if you are interested in other possible tools that might help: Alternative.to, a crowdsourced software searching tool, which has a means of filtering to show only, say, open source projects, or sort by tags that denote stacks used, languages used, etc. (see screenshot of tags I added). It has been useful enough for my own needs when looking for what you've been looking for.
Either way, best of luck! I haven't been able to find something yet, myself.
Less of an axis and more of general left-center-right, all with regards to which news outlets tend to lean one way in tone and language choice vs. another. You can select summaries of each bias to understand those choices in the app. It also helps break down a few other items of note:
While this may be beyond the scope of your efforts, it does do some solid highlighting of news sources for me.
There are a few Ground.news bots floating around Lemmy -- or at least there used to be -- that would comment on posts to provide some or all of the above.
Although this is getting some downvotes -- likely because of the 'AI' and 'bot' nature of it -- I can image the benefits of running this on your own personal Lemmy instance, leveraging it as a sort of RSS skimmer to determine which article were worth diving into or not.
In the roadmap of this project, there looks to be a political alignment feature, which is the big benefit of services like Ground.news and why I subscribe to it as a news service. As well: a feature to summarize a day, week, a month, etc., of news, which may well have the ability to be topical.
I try to bring as much of my reading into an RSS app as possible, rather than leverage algos on social to spoonfeed it to me. And while I love Mastodon, I also have to do a lot of scrolling and manual visiting of profiles to catch up. The same applies to Lemmy.
This may well be a tooling to make the kind of RSS experience I have been wanting, so kudos to the author.
As another consideration, this guy's app is also available on F-droid, which means you can avoid updates via Play Store
Ooh, neat! This feels like Folding@Home for AI tasks.
Well, not closed source anymore. Looks like, in an effort to align with 'switch' day that's been happening on Mastodon, the source code is now open to the public as of an hour ago:

May be a good opportunity for folks to support his efforts to craft stronger user experiences. I know, from dansup's posting, that he is 100% on-board for others to help.
You do this to cheat. I do this to reflect on our actions. We are not the same.
This is brilliant!
I know you're getting dragged in the comments / downvoted, but the premise that the internet is not a fully reasonable 'third' place has some rationality, as does the premise that churches have been this 'third' place for many. And I think 'third' places are where leftist community-engagement thrives, even in religous settings.
I mention leftist simply because many here are commenting from leftist Lemmy instances, myself included. Historically -- and for a moment, consider this outside the typically nonreligious, leftist approaches to community building -- churches have occupied a helpful, physical 'third' place like this for centuries.
When they are healthy, churches have been relationship hubs of solidarity and mutual aid. They have also been regularly used platforms from which to mobilize for social justice and collective action -- even today, I know of some churches that are engaged directly in social justice and collective action for queer communities, debt reduction / removal, resource sharing, and more. Liberation theology is gravely leftist, as well, and comes from Latin American churches with leftist clergy and non-clergy at the helm of both theory and praxis. The Civil Rights Movement was borne out of black American churches, and suffrage movements met in churchhouses as much as anywhere else. This list goes on.
Liberation / radical inclusivity activities can spring from any setting where people gather regularly and talk about change. While the internet can make that sometimes easier, it has been historically in-person, where folks gather, that these movements find momentum time and again. 'Third' places are historically and functionally physical.
Theory is great for the internet, and even some community-engagement through internet discussions on theory is great. Some, but not all.
Praxis happens offline, though, in anti-technofeudally controlled arenas.
There's an internal age we feel personally, there's an external age we present as -- and then there's an age that can brought out of us, based solely on circumstances.
In the case of all three, for the sake of this idea gaining some traction with most folks reading, I might re-label 'age' as 'identity', or even some kind of part of ourselves, coming to the forefront out of necessity. This idea comes from Internal Family Systems Theory.
When we are faced with circumstances that invite us to 'act our age,' such as knowing we need to get good rest for the next day, that's the part of us that comes to the forefront to help because we have the experience to know so. That part of us is there to protect us from experiences we've had in the past that may have sucked, such as having to go into work after a late night of Mountain Dew and gaming. That part's job might even be as a 'protector,' who supports us in taking responsibility seriously, practicing readiness, having some forethought.
Likewise, when we are faced with circumstances that invite us to entertain children, such as playing pretend or being silly, that's the part of us that we had at the forefront of that age, and we can call it up in a kind of way that doesn't feel like 'faking' it. That part of us is there to continue a sort of 'zone of play' we all liked, where it was fun and easy to 'yes and' other kids into a made-up game with made-up rules, or do something goofy because we all felt goofy. That part's job might be as a 'joy-bringer,' who supports us in exercising freedom, living out radical invitation, being creative. Simple, dumb joy.
All parts are necessary, and the parts are neither good or bad. Just parts.
Nothing ever disappears, either -- nor should it disappear, regardless of whichever part of us is so drastically at the forefront as to convince all the other parts that they aren't important to function in this life -- even at 40.
Hell, especially at 40.
There's a handful of approaches that may be helpful for this. I don't want to make any assumptions on what you've tried, yet, though. Would you mind clarifying what you've given a go at, so that we don't offer something that doesn't do what you're looking for?
Eto ... Bleh
Holy shit.
