*he knew what he was tolkien about

My setup is not perfect, and needs a bit of tinkering, but might adjust to what you want: Xiaomi Mi Box S TV with custom DNS blocking all tracking from Xiaomi and Google.

For apps I mostly use F-Droid via the client Flicky, but I also have a throwaway account on the Play Store for some case where I need an app from it.

I have an older Mi Box model, I’m not sure if it’s still possible to change the DNS in newer models, but since you are looking for second hand, this should suit you.

Years ago I found instructions on Reddit on how to change the DNS in the Mi Box, and switched to NextDNS, where you can activate several blocklists to block tracking and ads, and it has specific lists for Xiaomi and Google. If you are interested I can look for the instructions and share them with you. The only thing needed to do this is a remote ABD shell app on your phone, I used the one recommended in the instructions I found, from the Play Store (this one), but there might be alternatives in F-Droid.

There will always be employees at grocery stores

Yes, that’s true (for the near future) but it’s also true that if they replace all checkouts with self-checkouts they will need fewer employees, therefore they will fire people and reduce positions.

I’m also sure that the moment they can have a machine restocking the shelves they will try to move on to that and get rid of the people who are doing that job. We simply need to push back against the destruction of jobs.

If you search for OpenWRT tutorials on youtube you will find a McFly or something like that name

Could that be OneMarcFifty?

Thanks for your answer. I wasn’t sure what “you have cable” exactly meant, but after seeing BrightCandle’s comment I looked at my ISP contract and it mentions VDSL 50, so I guess I don’t need a separate modem then.

Thanks for your answer! I wasn’t sure about the whole “Cable / FTTH / DSL” issue, but checked my ISP contract and it mentions VDSL 50, so I guess I’m on DSL and don’t need a separate modem. I’m in Europe, by the way (might be relevant to different technologies and devices available), I’ll update the post now to add that.

It can also run LineageOS, iodéOS and /e/ OS at least, so there are a few options for a degoogled OS with this phone.

The sad things is that has worked for it* in the past, so of course it* will keep on using that strategy.

* I use the pronoun it because I believe in using the correct pronouns for everyone and refuse to address that piece of shit as a human being

Brilliant! It’s just a pity the credits ended before getting to the “No future” part, given that this was meant to celebrate the UK’s departure from the EU.

the 10th Doctor, played by David Tennant

Georgia Moffett is the IRL daughter of Peter Davison, who played the 5th Doctor

Tennant and Moffet eventually got married

Also the 5th Doctor is the 10th Doctor’s IRL step-father

Isn’t the 5th Doctor the 10th Doctor’s IRL father in law (not stepfather)? Or did I get lost in this labyrinth and miss something?

I couldn’t help but think about Severance’s season 2 finale

Brass Against is a rock+brass band that started doing covers of Rage Against The Machine, they also cover other rock and metal acts. Pretty cool.

I would say that being part of the solution is not using their service at all.

Honest question: do people really think that attacking a third world country, thousands of kilometres away from your home, that hasn’t attacked you, is “serving their country”?

We’re not talking about defending yourself from an invading attack, but going far away to invade a foreign country.

Is this the pastor that gave him the bible quote from Pulp Fiction?

I don’t know what you would consider Cornelius’s Fantasma, I think in some regard it can be considered pop. Do yourself a favour and check that album, and do it from start to finish in one go.

You don’t listen to “Thick as a brick” on shuffle?

VLC, either on mobile or on desktop, can’t go wrong with VLC.
