  Mine is looking at the blocked domains in pihole and watching my TV trying to call home desperately without success.

  I don’t think my tcl TV has it hardcoded because my pihole is always blocking tcl domains

  What you mean by black hole and filter? I blocked a bunch of tcl domains on my pihole and made my router drop everything in port 53 coming from every other device that wasn’t pihole. It seems to have worked for now.. Is that a good solution?

  The battery life and the cost to replace it is the one million dollars question nobody can answer (yet?) ..I assume that this is why byd cars are cheap giving the amount of technology they ship in the cars..once we have the risk of having to pay loads of money to replace a battery gone or the actual cost to do it, we should see the prices normalized (without the risk discount)

  Is that true? I didn’t know that! Here in my country BYD seems to be selling really well. I see them all the time while driving.

  Just a noob question about your setup: do you have a TLD domain name? Are you behind NAT? just because I wanna set a chat server like matrix or xmpp but I’ve been stuck in how to make it available on the web with these restrictions like no domain, no fixed IP and.behind NAT

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨System requirements for a Matrix server?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool! Can I use a ddns like duckdns? I only use my server through a VPN so I haven’t looked into hardening and security stuff to open it to the internet yet. Maybe I’ll just try setting a matrix server soon. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨System requirements for a Matrix server?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to set up a matrix server on my home server (or a xmpp server) but I haven’t been able to figure how to do that. All the docs talk about setting up a vps with a domain name.I don’t have a vps or a domain name and don’t wanna have to pay monthly to a hobby. (I’m poor in a poor country)

  Unfortunately I live in a country where you can’t fill your tank yourself. There’s a law to “protect jobs” so every gas station has to hire employees to  pump gas for clients. Besides, I really doubt that someone would have the courage to put those screens on gas pumps. We once were the country that most broke paid phones in the world, back in the 90s. Imagine what people would do to these things.

  I asked myself if I could steal and use it as a screen for my raspberry pi..

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It must be cool to live in a developed country. In my country people would just break or steal the screens.

  English is an easy language, easier than Spanish IMO. If the child lives in a context where the language is spoken all the time doesn’t matter when you talk about a first language.
