Escape velocity - I'd love to experience that game over again. Came out in the 90s.
This depends. You can be smart about it. Running your own servers, including your own NVRs for video storage. Have dedicated VLANs. Firewalls. Etc. it’s not that bad.
Granted I work in automation and robotics and now networking so I’d say I’m for sure a giant add nerd. For a normal user it can be hard to stay safe.
Or you may simply not really have a need. That’s totally fine.
I’m disabled, so being able to do lights and thermostats and appliances with my iPad or phone is great for me. Having things turn on or off based on motion detection or sunset/rise really helps. I can unlock my door or open my garage for guests without having to get up.
I have a smart home. I run Unraid OS on my server and among a ton of dockers, I run my own VM with home assistant. Been doing my own DNS, network wide ad blocking, media server, home automation stuff for years now. Always will to help answer any questions.
I’m also disabled so the smart home really helps me.
I do not like they have defederated from 2 of the larger instances. Not a fan of that at all. I do understand why they did it, just personally not a fan. I’m on kbin until they get that under control and re-federate the I’ll likely look into joining them.
I like the instance, like the sign up process, just don’t want to be defederated. Hopefully the modding tools get better soon.
May be the most accurate description of TPB I’ve ever read.
1337x.to is my go to.
Not a fan of the defederation. I’m actually displeased they would shout out an instance that will give new users a BAD experience of what the fediverse is.
Go to settings and at the top click on Subscriptions. It lists them all there.
