This. Virtual cards are decent. Nothing beats the real things you mentioned above but I get something can be a hassle above. For simplicity sake. This isn’t a bad answer to your issue.

Why not use jellyfin on a Pi or old pc for like 30 bucks off eBay or wherever and use or use Plex but jellyfin is better I think, or any of the arrs like sollaar, or the like.

This is the way.

Can tails update itself or do you have to continuously redownload the live iso to boot from a new image each update?

You either trust the ISP or a VPN. Its a tool not a blanket of protection. Opsec and knowing how to move is most important.

I’m gonna check them out thanks.

I use bitwarden. Are they not good anymore? Data Breach?

We will have services to scrape the internet to cleanup the garbage.

How is this useful?

I been wanting a yubikey but the fact their not open source really kills it. Any alternatives that are still iron clad?

This really happened?

Use distress pin. Wipes the phone. Restart from backup.

Then perhaps this could be a way for you to lockdown internet traffic to and from your device. Major privacy improvement.

Straight from their site.

NetGuard provides simple and advanced ways to block access to the internet - no root required. Applications and addresses can individually be allowed or denied access to your Wi-Fi and/or mobile connection.

Blocking access to the internet can help:

reduce your data usage save your battery increase your privacy

Edit: Uses the same slot as VPN on a phone. Thus you have one or the other. Not both. PC is different.

Cutoff internet access on all apps that expressly do not need it. Install Netguard or the likes if you don’t used a VPN and see what apps are calling home.

Check out Posteo!

I will look into this. Thanks. Rhasspy is super intensive for setup. Such a cool option but too niche currently for my use. EDIT: This is cool. Self hostable here a link for others to check it out. https://sepia-framework.github.io

I looked into Mycroft but sadly they have shutdown is appears. Their lead Dev left and went to work on Home Assistant. I think Home assistant is dominant in this space. But things aren’t refined for plug and play use. Yet! They are making major strides in the space though.

I seen Microcunt Teams has a really nice summarize feature of meetings things like that are so nice even taking notes and asking questions about the topic. I will look into Siri. I hate apple as much as microshit but I need something mains stream as I don’t have time to set things up. Otherwise I would go the HA route. A lot of the replies are missing the ask here. I’m looking for ways to aid in privacy of a plug and play system like an echo dot or siri, google home, etc. Such as behind a VPN, fake account, and more. Ways to protect myself from the bloodsuckers.
