Rage Against the (Smart) Machine – Why I want my TV to be ‘dumb.’

Thank you! I am currently using StevenBlack's host file for ad blocking across all DNS clients. The tagging setup is used as a split-horizon DNS; for example, my tiny tiny RSS domain gets resolved to 192.168.1.3 on my LAN and 10.1.2.3 for wireguard VPN clients.

I am using NixOS and consuming my own infrastructure definition, so the config is currently not portable, but I have been thinking about splitting it out into multiple files and publishing it.

I'm not seeing how this would help with these smart devices connecting automatically to mesh networks? (i.e. Amazon sidewalk 900mhz band).

It would not, but I deal with that threat differently - I don't buy such devices.

They won't necessarily disclose those devices have that ability upfront. Look at the Nest thermostat.
