8 days agoI recently purchased an old plasma TV I will be tinkering with. No internet connectivity of any kind. It is hard to get excited about new TVs that are basically google and Bezos boxes and I do not wish to send them a single dime just to be spied on when I just want to watch my movies on bluray.
I am aware I can just disconnect my TV from the internet, but I don’t want to support the stupid platforms that are built into the TV. Why is it any of Googles, amazon or any other platforms business what I use my TV for?
I used to use synthing in a similar configuration, but my experience is that it can mess up from time to time especially if you try to access the keyvault on two devices at the same time. Still a good way to get a feel for it.
Today I have wireguard set up in my home router which I connect my phone to and keep the password vault on a smb share at home. So anytime I need to access the vault I just activate wireguard on my phone.
