I have heard about putting my roku on another submet but i don’t know how to do this. Any thoughts πŸ€”

I believe that would rely on the modem settings... If you buy a router (eero, Google WiFi, etc.) and connect it to the Ethernet port, you could create a separate network and your modem would see your router as a single device. I have T-Mobile Internet but don't trust them with my data, so in conjunction with the above, I have all my network traffic pointed towards AdGuard DNS (Personal Plan)(they have a free version that works well, but you can't customize it).

I mean... you bought a Roku.

Of all the streaming devices you can purchase, I'd argue Roku is the most privacy invasive: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/roku-streaming-sticks/

If you subscribe to RSS feeds that sometimes due ads in the form of articles (looking at you daringfireball); services like SiftRSS let you use Regex to filter out titles that match (i.e., sponsor, sponsorship) so you only get organic content.

Opera back in 2000s.

Compressing webpages, built in mail, built in BitTorrent client, tab stacking, "fit to width" which would remove horizontal scrollbars, page tiling, mouse gestures, rocker gestures, I think it even had a calendar.

It's a shame the direction Opera took after Jon left, but thankfully he started Vivaldi which feels like the spiritual successor.

Don't forget to check your Amazon Alexa privacy settings to disable personalized ads, and for using your Alexa data for ads. Likewise, you can have it to where while Amazon keeps a log of what is said, it won't save voice recordings.

Rosario + Vampire

Perfect mix of romance and comedy; Fruits Basket (remake; follows manga) is also a great one!

Thank god! I've been a fan since it was announced way back when. For Christmas this year, my sister-in-law bought me "The World of Orville" and the physical collection of the comics, as she knew I bought the digital ones.

I very much look forward to another season!

It definitely is! It has helped me so much with the clusterfuck that is REGEX and figuring out what I did wrong πŸ™ƒ

Nice! On iOS/iPadOS, I use "StopTheMadness Pro" to set up redirects, and it makes watching YouTube, TikTok, etc. videos that family sends to me so much more bearable!

Same, but with Microsoft's Image Creator. At least for me, I like using it to create pixel art for my own personal GitHub repos.
