I use nextdns on my network and there’s a filter there for smart tvs. Samsung seems to want to call home the most.

The Pixel Buds don’t ship with a cable either.

Not worth it. The PS5 games catalogue is piss poor compared to when the PS4 Pro released.

Ha. That’s my bad. I didn’t even read the firewall rules listing 22/SSH. I agree on not opening 22 to the world. It just invites bots throwing passwords at it.

I just read Minecraft in the original post which from reading runs from 25565 which I wouldn’t worry about. If OP needs 22 for admission I’d either whitelist it or use a VPN/Tailscale.

More effort than I would consider. I’d just allow all traffic incoming on that port. I’d only consider whitelist if someone was giving me grief. Even then that would be after blacklisting an IP wasn’t solving my problem.

I have a couple of services, including nginx (a website) that run though a Cloudflare Tunnel. No need to open up ports and certificates are automatically managed.

I also use ddclient to update my own personal domain with my internets dynamic IP (no need for a dynamic DNS provider). I have to do this as I host Jellyfin and Cloudflare don’t support streaming through their tunnels. So yes this is exposed to the internet. It does sit behind a caddy reverse proxy though.

I also run a wireguard VPN so that I can dial in when out the home. Im in Spain next week so can use that to get BBC iPlayer etc. The wireguard uses an address that is dynamically updated by ddclient (domain is hosted by Cloudflare)

Emails I don’t bother self hosting. I actually pay for simplelogin and send emails there via aliases. They then route to a single Proton email address.

Now?

I use PipePipe too. Also has SponserBlock inbuilt. Make sure you enable it though.

Alternatively, Firefox and uBlock Origin works.

Doesn’t work for YouTube

The music to this game is ingrained into my head

hilarious? 🤔

Wonder if it’s a region thing. Not there for me either (UK).

They should update the Chrome extension to tell people to download Firefox instead

I swear I read about how some companies have managed to come up with some break through to charge or increase battery capacity every few months, yet these are never make it to market.

• Bad breath
• Body odour
• Thinking they are gods gift
• Too much make-up and fucking awful Botox lips

I’m not so sure. Once they are embedded in the video they become hard to block. Twitch is like this now.

Not really helping you here. But when I started using Google Photos, I still manually downloaded files from my phone to local storage. I did this mainly to ensure I have the original copies of my photos and not some compressed image. Turns out that was a wise move as exporting photos from Google is a pretty damned awful experience.

Fallout wasn’t too bad imo. A bit shit in places but they kept close to the game which certainly peases the gamers.
