So if you use a VPN to sign up, then disconnect the VPN, does it block you? Or do you always need to be on VPN?

What joe Rogan Spotify thing?

Yes and no. It's more cumbersome for sure but I used to find music on YouTube and all that back in the day then download it.

Basically doing this already but my only issue is discovery. That's why I pay for Spotify. I used to have a script set up before the API closed that would run automatically monthly to snag all my liked songs.

I do all these plus the streaming services 😂.

I feel they're all fairly similar. I won't do apple music because I don't do iOS, and I moved from Google play music when forced to the inferior YouTube music. I wonder if tidal or any other service has comparable pricing.

I wouldn't say you need to be a network engineer, it's not like a juniper or Cisco type deal. It's got an intuitive GUI, but yeah you do need to know or be willing to learn a bit. This is why I'm my original post I said it's unrealistic for most.

That's why I said it's unrealistic :). And yes that's our unfortunate state. You either stroke the shaft of big tech and get things cheap that are easy to use or you pay to play and learn to secure your privacy.

Protectli is a small fanless computer. Opnsense is an open source firewall operating system that you install on a computer.

I know it's unrealistic for most, but this is why I bought a protectli and installed opnsense. Not only do I get a lot of useful features but I don't have to deal with this anti consumer bullshit.

Ya this is crazy. Between this and the computer hardware shenanigans, I don't think I'll be buying Asus ever again. I've lost all respect for the company.

It's good practice for patching purposes. You should always be maintaining stable OS versions and a memory leak or the like is fairly uncommon. I think I've seen it once in my career on a particular check point OS version.

Maybe home grade routers.
