Its called subnet routing and advertise routes btw. Just in case you wanna search the docs or find it in the cli/app.

I just remember article i think it was this one The glasses I don’t remember. There was a YouTube video about it.

The wan being the connection from the isp router. But yes. You likely won’t get rid of isp router, but if you create your own subnet(s) and the only device connected to your isp router would be your router, everything would be safe (firewalled) from everything on the outer network (and of course internet).

TutaNOTA is tuta btw.

Both are looking fine. The glasses look like sunglasses. The clothes have interesting design but I wouldn’t say they stand out too much. You can search for it and see for yourself.

Its called commercial surveillance and its been happening for a while. And state surveillance and that was also happening for a while and it’s been both on a mass scale also for a while. Companies are serving people ads that they know push people to buy. They are using psychology based on their profile and based on general psychological exploits that work for whatever reason (like evolutionary traits that used to be advantageous for survival once…)

Good thing is that you can just connect your custom router to the isp router and create a subnet with which you can experiment until you are confident and then you just switch your devices to the subnet (or multiple subnets).

Yes, true, i was probably still stuck on the open sense in my mind. Thanks for the correction!

The thing is, your typical router from isp is not only a router, it is also a modem, a firewall, and an access point. The modem part is most problematic, you usually can’t replace isp modem. Which means in most cases your isp router device has to stay (even if you use it only as amodem). Then you can of course place your own device between the isp router and your home network. It should be at least a router and a firewall. A good choice is openWRT as other people mentioned. You can flash it on supported routers. Or, you can buy cheap old office computers (there are models with more then one NICs) and run openWRT on that. It’s Linux after all. You can add a wifi pcie card or use another device as access point. Another option is something like OPNsense, which is firewall first. Disadvantage is that it is openBSD (not Linux) and support for wifi is not good so with it, you probably need an extra ap.

You can buy glasses or clothing specifically designed to counter face recognition. There are ways to fight back, you just need to decide what level of resistance is ok for you that you can do it consistently enough (and be okay doing possibly for life).

I hate to be the one to tell this to you, but this was happening way before LLMs. Every google search, every email, every translation, even every dog bark in you vicinity (yes yes Samsung…) was already recorded in the past what 15 years?

I am actually trying geminispace. It has nothing to do with google btw, but it’s quirky, it’s weird and I am actually getting some old internet vibes

Yeah, internet is no longer the interesting place it used to be. Interesting, intriguing, exciting. Now it’s worse than going to a tax office… the day before taxes… On Christmas… 😂

She did not want yet another messenger. People are fed with having to have multiple applications for everything. And she already had telegram along with wa.

You have a strange use case for extwitter man. Not judging. My only advice, friends will understand you wanting to use something less toxic. I did this with signal, I explained how uncomfortable whatsapp made me and why I am deleting it and where we can stay in touch. Some installed signal just to talk to me. And those who didn’t, well, I guess we weren’t as close and that was fine for me. One person wanted to stay in touch but explained why not signal and with her we are using the encrypted conversation on telegram. See, when people really want to stay in touch, they will.

What people? Your friends or random strangers that you follow? If friends, help them move, you know, if mastodon is too much for them try Bluesky, it’s not the best but at least it’s a good direction. If ranom people, well, just make the jump, you will find other random people elsewhere and you will have much higher chance they are not bots.

Facebook doesnt even know what privacy is. There is a suspicious hole on that spot in their dictionary.

I tried Floccus and Linkwarden. Floccus was better way of handling bookmarks but it was not reliable between my 4 browsers. Linkwarden is something different than what I was used to but I like it, I like lots of space for descriptons and i like how it can preserve content with e.g. screenshot.

I voted there too 😀

I will wait how the situation at Proton evolves I have recently prolonged so I am not in hurry. Right now nothing changes the fact that most of the services are still e2e and more secure than most alternatives, if that changes I have no problem switching. And I find encouraging that despite Yen being an ass there is actually good amount of employees that consider what they do in Proton their mission and they have passion for it and I hope Andy won’t squash that…
