Mozilla’s DNS over HTTPs

"The correct behavior for devices is to treat the intermediate network between them and the servers they talk to as hostile."

Thanks for this - I had not thought of that.

Looks like I'll be keeping my "smart" TV off the network forever then (my old LG used to send a network request whenever I pressed any button on the remote)! And all my Android devices, Windows 10 devices and my Apple TV and MacBook too. (This is only partially sarcasm - I can't really trust anything these days it seems...). The amount of dialling-out they all do is astronomical. The only solution appears to be going full 1980s and not being on the network. The dream is over.

At least my Raspberry Pi can be trusted. Other than the GPU chipset...

This is precisely why many of us use Linux and put up with some of the inconveniences or doing so - it’s more trustworthy. (And it gets more convenient as more people start using it.)

the irony is that almost all of the smart devices use linux....

They sure do, but it’s a Linux instance that the manufacturer has control over rather than the user. (Which is the real problem, more than just what tech is being used.)
