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

Or, you know, it’s fake…

They got to the kitchen, got the ingredients and then balanced them and then responded within 1 minute?

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

Hello fellow web surfers. I am finally joining you on the internet super highway. A/S/L?

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

Just get a normal bike. If you really need to ride indoors, get a turbo trainer. At least you have a bike you can use in and outdoors.

So not far off 24 hours? That doesn’t seem bad seeing as they only say 19 odd hours on a Series 9?

I’m thinking about giving the iPhone a try again. I haven’t used one since the 4S. It’s been Nexus/Pixel up to now but I’m getting a bit bored.

How’s the battery life holding up?

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.

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