It lives on an isolated VLAN with traffic routed through a VPN service on a dedicated NAS for movies. If someone gets into it, they’ll get no personal info but my movies.

Jellyfin works fine. No point paying for Plex.

Exactly. They want their version of The Network State

This is exactly why I deleted Facebook and Instagram. It no longer served it’s only purpose.

Centralized for profit social media should be over.

Fuck Reddit. Only time I even care about it anymore is if I google search a tech issue and reddit comes up in the results. It’s a cesspool of AI accounts and trolls for most things these days.

Not a huge blow to companies this large sadly.

That stinks. I have the F4-424 Pro and I love it.

Mine has an internal USB so you can open it up pretty easily and install any version of Linux you prefer. Not sure what model you bought, but I would assume you can too.

I bought a Terramaster instead. Better hardware specs for the money and you can overwrite the OS with Linux which is way better than any stock OS.

That only happens from incompetence or bad IPAM software. It’s easy to assign a static in most management systems. As long as you set up the static in your router correctly, it should just stay.

Sleep Number beds are like $10,000 for some models already. Who knows what ridiculousness they will charge for an “AI” bed.

So stupid. This is only to spy on normal citizens. Criminals can easily use their own E2EE.

Capitalism is a bubble machine. The stock market is propped up on hollow hype most of the time. This panicky bull shit system breeds instability.

I agree with this. I 100% believe the lurch to the right’s acceleration in America was fueled by social media algorithms.

This is so fucking stupid. Major crime organizations and governments can easily afford non-commercial encrypted communications. This will only be used to spy on citizens.

This is just an invite to fraud - straight up.

Just a quid pro quo to give google a fat government hand out. Only purpose it will serve is to give border agents something to blame for issues. Just like every time DOGE messes up.

Showing how truly performative their big “ally” push was during the pandemic. All their BLM and diversity support was just as performative. Big corporations are just sycophantic monsters riding trends. Avoid them where possible.
