- Comment on Can you un-smart a smart tv? 8 months ago:
It depends. Using OPs scenario, if all data, ads and updates, are served from data.samsung.com, then the pi hole can’t help. But if ads are served from ads.samsung.com and updates from updates.samsung.com, then you can blacklist the ads while still receiving the updates.
My experience with a Vizio is that the pi is blocking a lot of the “phoning home” connections, but the ads seem to be integrated with the software that allows me to use apps, so I still see them when I use the TV’s apps. More and more though, I’m using the HDMI port with my HTPC.

I have a network enabled model from Brother and it’s never once shown up on my pi-hole. I’m a fan for life. Will never buy an HP printer again.

I stopped watching local news when they started having the anchors pitch to ads like they were just another news item.

There is no such thing as fate. Life is what it is. Make the best of it.

There would be a class action lawsuit where lawyers take two thirds of the settlement and those affected would get enough for a fancy Starbucks coffee.

Since I don’t know your level of expertise, I’ll go step by step. Forgive me if you already know how to do some of this.
In terminal, type “sudo nano /etc/fstab” (without quotes). This brings up a file where you can add the mount point so it mounts at boot and set options for the mount. Go to the end of the file and enter a line like the following, substituting your info in the appropriate places: /// / 0 0 Mine looks like this: //192.168.1.0/Media /mnt/Media cifs _netdev,user=anonymouse,password=*****,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
The “_netdev” option is the one that delays the mount until after your network is up. The “file_mode” & “dir_mode” set the mount permissions. There is info out there showing how to insert a reference to a credentials file instead of placing them in fstab in plain text, but I didn’t bother since I have my computer and user profile pretty well locked down.
To get _netdev to work, I had to enter the following in terminal (without quotes): “sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online”.
I couldn’t find all the sites I visited while setting this up, but here are a few: unix.stackexchange.com/…/how-do-i-mount-a-cifs-sh… unix.stackexchange.com/…/fstab-not-automatically-… help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Options
Hope this helps!

I’ll look up the exact info when I get home and provide links if I can find them again.
The summary is that I had to add a line to /etc/fstab with the ip and folder route of the nas drive and folder, then the mount point in linux, the file system type for the mount, options that give login creds/group id + establish permissions I want to apply to the mount, and an option that keeps the drive from trying to mount until my network is connected.
Finally, for that last option to work, I had to enable a process that I forget the name of. I think it was in systemd, but I was able to initiate it from the command line.

I don’t think a school board has control of personnel matters like sick leave policy. Where I’m from, this is set by state legislature.

I scroll through all/hot a couple times a week and I don’t find the content nearly as funny, interesting or engaging as it used to be. There’s definitely something different about the algorithm that is making the content more sanitized for a wider audience.

Summary judgment seems unlikely given the vagueness of the email. But maybe it gives Taylor more incentive to offer a decent settlement to Kytch. If it goes to trial, will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I’m not sure how much of what is suggested in that article is possible, but it is chilling nonetheless. They reference all these heroic characters from movies while (maybe) not realizing that they sound just like the villains from those same films.

Rob has no “testimony”. Rob has questioned Bob’s statement without making any attempt to see things from Bob’s perspective or to ask Bob about his suffering. Rob, and by Rob I mean you, lack any empathy or curiosity that would open him to any possibility of understanding another person’s struggles.
