Sorry I miss read your comment. I have a pihole that blocks a lot of ads and trackers, you could use it to block US companies if you want I guess. I use it to block Chinese and Russian, among a few other TLDs, pages (it does not block companies that use other TLDs from those countries).

The Google sells most of the ad space, so blocking ads is a good first step. I use a pseudo random email address for everything so when companies sell my email address to Google, Google gets nothing. I used to pay for YouTube premium to avoid ads, Google makes more off of ads than YouTube premium and my pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads. I no longer pay for YouTube premium but use Unwatched on my iPhone or iPad and stream it on my TV using my Apple TV. When a hacker breaches a company and gets my email they get nothing. I have a sticker in my Canada post mail box that asks for no flyers so the only ads I get from them are political ones and ones addressed to me, the ones addressed to me I typically send an email to saying this person no longer exists so please stop sending letters to. My ISP started using an exchange server for email, so Microsoft would likely see some of my email stuff. So I have moved all my emails to my domains pseudo random address (or a private professional email with my domain). The pihole started prior to 2024 but my blog and emails were moved in December of 2024.

I was an Apple fan girl prior to Trump’s 2nd term so I had; iCloud storage, the password manager, hide my email, TV, and whatever else was hosted by them, along with many devices. I have moved my cloud storage to a Canadian host, yes it cost a little more up front but over the year it costs less. I have moved all of my things over to stormweb.cloud. I use 1Password as my password manager now, sure I dislike that some times I have to actually use a password instead of biometrics all the time but so be it I guess I have a random email saved on my devices. I had a thing against pirating media, even though in retrospect I was kinda doing it with my pihole setup as it blocks trackers but now I use prowlarr to just schedule different shows and movies to be downloaded. I am in the process of building a raspberry pi setup to replace my Apple TV, I have all the parts, I just need to put them together and hook it up to my TV. I have family members who use FaceTime so I have not changed my iPhone or iPad, and I do not use a desktop but if I did I would be moving it to Linux.

My blog and pseudo-random email addresses are hosted by hosthero.com a Canadian host.

Maybe tell the brain worm that it is actually oxygen and he should just stop breathing.

I hope Cook and friends suffer for this, I have almost entirely de-Appled my self minus the iPad, iPhone, and AppleTV. I know those are three big things but I do not use any of the Apple services minus FaceTime and Siri. Again I know those are two big services but moving family onto something else is difficult.

I used to pay Apple a fairly big bill for all my security and anonymization, I have moved to Canadian companies and have been able to do so much more.

Shocker companies want to blow their dic… tator.

We are doing it with this boycott movement.

So I have two pihole’s on my lan, my main one also acts as a mDNS getting its DNS stuff from a Canadian DNS host but that is besides the point. I had a TV provider, but that was cancelled because I did not want to pay for US stations. I pay for CBC and TSN (for CFL), everything else I either download (*arr apps) or stream from Global, CTV, CityTV, or CBC. My pihole blocks ads for almost everything, I do not want to be paying for US advertisment.

That is me now to.

I stopped paying for YouTube premium once the boycott started getting going, I had plans on just boycotting YouTube altogether (it is the only Google service I still use) but I fell back into it as there is no real competition. I wasn’t going to go back to watching ads or paying for it so I had to find alternatives, I am currently using unmatched on my iPhone and iPad and just screen sharing to my TV in the not too distant future I will have a pi attached to my TV to do all my steaming stuff.

The left won’t be the first one who draws blood.

Your second revolution is going to be starting soon.

2 of them are lying, because they do not have the money to go down there anyways. 1 of them has to go down for work and the other is Danielle Smith.

It’s a win if they all close in Canada.

The pi 5 can handle 4K, I have decided not to use x86 cpus. The best alternative is RISC 5, but the more available ARM cpu is still a good alternative. I have a Rock 5b sitting in my homelab that I could also use maybe? But I am thinking of turning it into a ollama box. I had originally planned to use the Rock 5b as my TV thing but I was having all kinds of difficulties with the build and I am not a fan of some of the board designs.

I subscribe to CBC Gem because I watch shows on CBC and occasionally like seeing the news.

I personally went French press years ago, everything is reusable and makes a much better cup of go go juice.

Beat me to it in saying this, however I will extend that suggestion to say make your own vinegar to go in the ketchup. You can make so many tasty different vinegars.

For their opportunity to visit Guatemala?

Earlier today I was wishing I could cancel my account again. It is sad that a lot of the US people will sign back up to it once Kimmel’s story is forgotten about.

You should be safe flying over the US, ICE does not yet have control of the FAA. Even once they get control of the FAA the FAA cannot get a plane flying with a flight plan. Again this is true unless another 9/11 happens, even then you will hopefully either not be out of Canadian airspace or to high up to actually land in the US.

They would have to have the knowledge to ask chatgpt what Mein Kampf is, they listen to trump who is also cognitively challenged enough to know what a book is let alone Mein Kampf.

“Mein Kampf is Adolf Hitler’s 1925-27 autobiographical manifesto that outlines his racist, antisemitic ideology, German nationalism, and vision for its expansion and dominance in Europe.“ I do not think that ChatGPT would really work out for them.
