So Naomi Brockwell TV blew my mind about how are smart TVs are spying on us with Automatic Content Recognition and other advertising profile scripts. Yikes!

I don’t have the resources to switch to a more secure streaming device yet (I’m gonna build one with mini PC running LibreELEC with Kodi hopefully).
In the meantime, I setup a Pi-Hole on an old Raspberry Pi 3B I had laying around last night to block as many ads and outgoing unwanted scripts as I could.

It is working great from what I tell! Even removed the ads from my Roku TV home pages lol! I’m sure some stuff is getting through, but at least it’s minimal.
Here is the PiHole install video I watched from Micro Center, but I also added SSH via private/public keys too. How to Block Ads Using a Pi-Hole With A Raspberry Pi

Oh and it has a built-in Star Trek NG LCARS theme!

@thomasblagnac Je ne sais si tu as déjà trouvé ton bonheur depuis ton dernier poste. Est-ce que ce sont les logiciels que tu découvres ? Si oui, as-tu utilisé des outils similaires sur Windows ?

Non, vous ne rêvez pas, Darty, grande enseigne commerciale française (filiale du groupe #Fnac) a réalisé cette vidéo sur comment installer GNU / #Linux #Zorin OS !

💡 Je dois cette agréable découverte à @Aisyk, rédacteur de @interventions_numeriques, sur #LinkedIn.
I take look at Rio, an open-source terminal emulator written in Rust with WebGPU support — plus a slew of novel features, like RetroArch shaders!

@Zeb Feet first
@RonV42 I'm afraid you'll have to do some babysitting if you're the tech guy within your family.
Backing up data for worst case scenarios, limit administrative rights and setting up guest accounts, etc.
@RonV42 I haven't installed antiviruses on my Linux driver that I would come to need. The right practices usually spare you from downloading content from shady sources.
Package managers are insanely powerful on Linux, and there are also good ones on Windows (winget, scoop, chocolatey).
