  • I use Facebook behind as many adblockers as I can, I use social fixer on top of that (browser extension that helps prune FB even more)

    On my phone, in the app, this doesn’t prevent them from suggesting friends, suggesting reels, suggesting random people or pages to follow

    I use fb mostly for groups not just telling everyone what I’m doing or caring about what everyone else is.

    But I make it to 1-3 things I have to hide (x out of) and I just bounce, close and pause the app

    Like if I open fb and I immediately see a post asking me to follow something I just get out and open lemmy…

    Screw meta

    I run PiHole in my house I VPN to my house when away to get that sweet ad blocking I run unlock origin I run social fixer

    I don’t see actual ads in FB just their BS they want me to interact with over my actual feed











  • Unless it changed recently if you already have 3rd party cameras, it’s all but useless for any of those features. I am using Blue Iris/amcrest cameras and when I upgraded to a UDMP I was excited to try it with the new 3rd party camera support, but I can’t really do anything but record. No detection stuff. Ended up only adding one camera and giving up.

    And their cameras, are damn expensive. I have 6 cameras outside covering most of my house. Entireity, swapping over to unifi ones is not in the budget.





  • I know JBL has wifi enabled bt speakers that would be an all in one. You’d still need your phone to initiate it. But being wifi it should be fine to walk away after starting the stream.

    Any assistant (assuming they’re still available) would be able to play music at night (a used Google mini) or similar.

    We were building our house when my wife was pregnant, I put ceiling speakers in all the bedrooms so that is what we used. I built a diy whole house audio system which we did use to play sounds/music at night in my kids room.
