Waterfox browser, Privacy Badger, Port Authority. Usually private tabs, always-on VPN with Quad9 DNS.

It rarely breaks sites, but occasionally captcha doesn't work. That's a privacy Badger thing that you can disable temporarily or for the site entirely.

Then I test with https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and might tweak additional WF settings.

I also use Lineage OS, F-Droid only, no Google anything or any big tech. The "biggest" tech company might be Proton. But I like their mail service with custom domain support and SimpleLogin aliases.

Tens of thousands off YouTube... So why the fuck would I support them through Patreon when they get YT money?!

Good for them for doing the PSA and research, is appreciated. But I'm not utilizing a YT link and am respecting others' data privacy too.

Pssshh, some of us have lives and don't feel like watching 2 hours of some YT channel when the gist can be wrapped up in a <15 minutes. Plus, this is a privacy group, should be respectful of NOT using a big bro link, but I get some people don't actually care or understand the premise.

Grow a backbone for your data privacy.

On older hardware I would agree it can be cumbersome. At work, I've swapped everything to Ubiquiti and it's a couple clicks and I'm there. I liked it so much I did it at home with some caveats. Local account only and blocking anything phoning home.

I've got Chinese cameras too, they're on their own VLAN,ext traffic is blocked simply.

Yeah, that's one thing that kind of killed me. My One+has a great camera, but it's mediocre with the stock camera on LOS. Thankfully open camera and libre camera help. Check them out in Fdroid first which is what I should've done.

I'm going to see it I can take the APKs for the One+ apps from APKPure and strip the need for Google out of them so they'll work in my phone again. I suck at writing code, but reading and modding I can do better.

I'm going to go out in a limb and die on it, that: why overcomplicate things with Docker containers?? I didn't read through your post; The title, to me, doesn't require it based on what you're doing. I then read you're Problem box and confirmed you don't need NVR on Docker. Seems overkill or really, pointless.

A. Do you absolutely NEED the VLAN for your NVR? Why not just isolate the devices on the network with a bogus DNS record or FW rule blocking via MAC or IP? B. Why run NVR through Docker? I hate devs who only containerize and don't allow for options. Deal killer, personally. But it it has a native option, why not run that? It's just extra steps for traffic to pass through which feels like a complicated bottleneck.

Idk, you do you. I'm SURE I'll get hate for this comment, but sometimes you need to take a steep back and think about what's necessary vs what's for fun for learning. I'd you can, hey great! If you can't, or it breaks, how much time do you now want to spend learning how to troubleshoot?

Yes, but really, no, in this situation... Look at the other comment https://pawb.social/comment/24159500

This is likely the case, done like the matrix where there are differing scenes, exposures, coloring and/or filters between worlds so the viewers can differentiate.

This is proven bc I can watch old HP on my old 2011 FHD TV and it doesn't look entirely different than my newer UHD HDR screen. It's that way on purpose. Otherwise older films would all be blown out with coloring or contrast too, and they're not. Only retouching when going from VHS to DVD and/or DVD to Blu Ray, etc. Format changes do usually get a remastering.

Survivorman < Bear Grylls

The former just survives and talks, the latter shows you and teaches you how to survive. It's not about being alone in the wild in the show, he does crazy shit intentionally and backs his teachings with actions. Drinking moisture from elephant poo solidified Bear as a true badass!

A repeater is NOT going to add privacy. You're still linked back to the main gateway which controls all settings.

If you're absolutely stuck with ISP equipment, immediately change away from built-in DNS like Comcast's 75.75.75.75, ignore Google DNS cuz it's just as bad. Quad9 is the noisy trustworthy IMO. 9.9.9.9 and 149.112.112.112 for secondary. I would also change default login info and default WiFi passwords if you haven't already. Disable WPS connectivity, update firmware, etc. This helps harden and secure.

If you're able to run your own equipment, that'll take you running the ISP device in "bridge mode" which hands off traffic to your gateway/wireless router. You can then look to bump security settings through forums or parts online, but will vary greatly with your own budget and technical prowess..

We need more info:

  1. Can you run other network equipment like a router or different gateway?
  2. How tech savvy are you?
  3. How much privacy are you looking for? DNS? Ad blocking? Full on VPN? (Which, VPNs are work themselves because some people refer to a Wireguard VPN but that connects them back to their own local network where others use Proton or 3rd party VPN service for hiding/encrypting "all" external traffic)
  4. Have you looked into changing some browser settings for added privacy? What do you use currently?
