The next step is Anydesk and losing his life's savings

I bought a google account for less than $1, used it to log in to pipepipe and nothing else. Then I only use pipepipe when all else fails.

I haven't found any other way, even an unreliable one.

I also found myself not wanting to click youtube links because there's a good chance I'll spend the next 5 minutes switching apps and vpns and whatnot to make it work.

It's source-available

Yeah they fucked up v30, i updated from v29 a few weeks back and had to restore it and now I'm back at 29

USPol toxic spill again

I got a Sharp Android smart tv last year when my 2006 Samsung died and it works great without internet access. Cheapest one there was.

"Why does my fucking light not turn on, do i need to add yet another repeater or do i need to reset slzbw-06 yet again" kind of problems

Also at some point i discovered nothing at all works because homeassistant decided to give my network a new identity so I needed to pair everything again. My fault for not having this backed up, but it's not something that should happen in a system that's "worry free".

Zigbee sucks and is a source of constant problems for me, but you can't have a thumb sized door sensor using wifi, it uses too much energy.

Something p2p like Tox or Briar, both annoying for daily use.

We went full circle to the early 2000s, slapping PGP on top of public messaging platforms!

There are so many cameras on the market, just don't connect them to the internet. If you have a budget, buy an NVR, otherwise install Motion or Frigate on a PC to store footage.

I used to have a HTC phone with a physical camera button, it was great

Hetzner's S3 is immature, they just started beta last year, and are rough at the edges

Keep downvoting that shit, let them know they are not welcome

The main Mastodon instance with their official app has discoverability. The difference is so much different from what I normally use - a 3rd party app and a 3rd party instance

Back then the CEOs were babbling about information superhighways while tech rolled their eyes

Facebook has shut down my pseudonymous account because i did not provide a photo of my ID. Try it, you should meet more like-minded people there than on Lemmy

I got some answers to a similar question here https://lemm.ee/post/45993313

Which reminds me that rss-bridge has a Facebook backend that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

I used to have a burner account and a program that logged in to FB with Selenium and converted certain "pages" into RSS feeds. It worked great when it did, but Facebook has a lot of measures against scraping, and I burned out trying to maintain this.

I don't know a way to read their content without an account, which excludes me from a lot of local events.
