I get what you are saying, but in the case of the internet, you need an IP address to connect rather than simply exist with a computer. Someone needs to know where to send the data.

There are however free connections: unsecured neighbors wifi, city wifi, hotels, and even busses/trams. Lots have limitations to hogging bandwidth though.

First thing that comes to mind is a mechanic's stethoscope.

like this

Edit: basically 8adger's screwdriver trick but I have one in my Kit of Resourcefulness™

That's the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.

I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.

First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that's what I wanted.

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.

Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.

While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that's handed out for getting caught.

More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don't care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.

That's good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost... Jeez!... 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn't cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn't run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

Me too. I'm up to 3TB locally. Had to do that slowly though. Hit some temp bans a few times.

Absolutely no good will come of this psyops group targeting Americans.

This isn't a genie that can return to a bottle. This is everything Snowden warned the world about, supercharged and networked and only available to the administration currently in charge.

Every Plex client is a little different, but there is usually a video details or "playback info" button that will give you stream info such as direct play, transcode, or transcode (HW) for hardware support.
