  • I recently purchased an expensive samsung tv. There is no way to disable advertisements or data tracking… They’re selling you an pricey piece of hardware and want to sell your data - double dipping at its finest.

    (My solution has been not to agree to their tos, which means i can’t use any of the apps on it. I just plug in a roku and use the tv as a monitor. Also looking at adblock/pihole once i get a proper firewall back up)



  • What hardware did you buy? I’m looking at building a new box for proxmox. Currently I’m using an old laptop with an extra ethernet port dongle to run proxmox and virtualize opnsense, unifi controller and a couple other lvms. From others posts i read, i the choice between bare metal or virtualized seems personal. I went with proxmox just to learn a thing or two about vm environments and its applications.



  • My guess is that redditers will want lemmy to be just like…reddit, but without the public-corp nonsense and with UI that is at minimum on-par with 3rd party apps people gravitate toward on reddit.

    I’m totally new to this so I’m also figuring out my way around. The federated organization is confusing for sure, but not so much that people can’t get it.

    Some work could be done from a user focus… Simplify(including caring for duplicated hosts and communities), educate on lemmy’s benefits, make searching for new communities seamless and less of a quest.
