Any y'all SmartTV users know how to eliminate the excess telemetry the TV uses to eat up my bandwidth?
Use a dumb TV and a HTPC
That was both my boyfriend and I's preference, but we got offered a free TV when we needed one, and that's a hard price to beat, especially in these times. I'm hoping the PiHole will do the trick.
Set your browser up with a good private DNS. I use Control D, which you can use to block a lot of annoying crap.
Pi hole
Yeah? I got one half assembled on my desk right this moment! I feel a little sheepish, though, because I got the SD card set up with Raspbian Lite as per a guide on AdaFruit, but, uh... I don't know what terminal program I'm supposed to launch to talk to the dang thing! 😅 the guides on the site seem mostly based for Linux and I'm working on Windows. I feel silly to be stuck at this step as I feel once I cross it, I should be good with the rest of the guide.
On windows you have cmd (basic) and powershell (for powerusers). You probably want to use the ssh command in the terminal you choose to use. Check out a connecting to raspberry pi from windows guide, loads of them.
