    I looked at smaller things like the Pi and in the end decided I had more flexibility by just having a little PC and bunging Linux on it.

    I just got a new smart TV, but it’s never going on the internet, lol

      When my smart TV was attached to the internet, because a friend helped me get it into my place she was fairly insistent on setting it up to the internet, I had no idea how much data it was sending places. I set up my first go at a pi-hole and say that a good majority of the internet signals coming and going from my place was from the TV.

      Smart TV’s are not cool, I bought it to display video not spy on me and sell ads to me. I have since ditched that email address it’s only used for YouTube now. I would ditch the email entirely if the Google did not own YouTube. It breaks my buy Canadian heart that I am stuck using YouTube and Reddit, I am however trying to cut down on the groups and channels I subscribe to or pay attention to.
