Might be my imagination but I think Kirkland stuff has been declining in quality lately. The paper towels seem worse now, but I'm not sure how.

Isn't the New York Times suing Anthropic for essentially the same thing, piracy? If they want to hold ISP end users responsible for piracy, shouldn't they also hold all the LLM companies responsible as well. I'm sure Justice Clarence Thomas will have an unbiased, and well thought out opinion on this. Just kidding, it will be decided by whichever major corporation pumps enough money to the lobbyists.
I have a separate IoT network. It's basically just a guest wifi for IoT. Anything coming in on that network gets a VLAN tag and only previous & established connections can get out. Honestly, it's kinda a pain in the ass with homeassistant because I keep HA on the other network so I have to manually find devices. It might be easier to just block it at the ip level or blacklist outgoing ip ranges to Tuya or whatever.
Not sure how long ago you tried it. But my first attempt at an install back in 2021 was so much more complicated than when I did it again in 2024. It's been rock solid ever since. I use the docker all-in-one method, it's pretty straightforward. When I went back to college, I decided to use it to organize all my classwork, and it's perfect for that. I still prefer LibreOffice to author papers though.
The online college I'm taking classes at has a whole long ass disclaimer about how using AI is forbidden. I'm positive the professors are using AI to grade. Bulletized strength and weaknesses that just parrot back what I wrote.
