  • We need an open source smart tag. I recently researched how the landscape has changed and, as an android user, still nothing good in available. I’m not sure if I remember right, but Google’s find my device was supposed to be open source or at least open spec? Might be worth looking into how easy it would be to code a lil firmware for this network myself. As much as I’d love a tag for things I cannot lose, the current options are throwing money away for no actual useful tracking (Samsung), forfeit your privacy (Tile, perhaps others), sell your soul (Apple).




  • I experienced a shock watching my much younger cousin play mobile games on his phone. It’s just constant unskippable ads next to all the banners. Back when I was young, mobile games were actually playable and ads were at most a voluntary option to get some in-game currency. In general, though, I have grown so accustomed to my Pi-hole (+ automatically connecting to a VPN when I leave my house so Pi-hole is always there) that I’ve either forgotten what life without it was like or completely missed the downfall of the modern internet.
