We have a family Samsung smart TV that is configured to use my Pihole instance as its DNS. When it was first set up, it looked up a blocked Samsung domain every few seconds whenever it was on (this is with ACR tracking “disabled” in the settings). Now it doesn’t anymore, but I still get activity from its IP address looking...

Cloudflare DNS has DoH, but it’s Cloudflare so… ew. Is there one that is more privacy respecting and also has DNS over HTTPS?

Keyboards are probably one of the most sensitive apps on our phones, having access and handling practically everything we type. I’ve stopped using keyboards that require network access and started using only opensource apps a few years ago. What are your favorite, privacy-respecting android keyboards?...

I know there are more privacy oriented companies in general, like Purism or System76, but I’m currently torn between Dell and Lenovo because they are the only two manufacturers that make good laptop/tablet hybrids (which I need for university) and whose devices are reasonably Linux friendly....

Lenovo is shipping laptops with Linux, which is a major win for the Linux community because it’s a major tier-1 OEM, and I’m personally thinking of getting a Lenovo for my next laptop.
