Hagezi’s pro and above blocks the sponsored video ones which I found most intrusive: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/domains/native.amazon.txt
These usually break the UI but you can still access apps so it’s functional.
I’m using the hagezi list for now
Oh shoot, didn’t realize it just worked. Thanks!
Oh I haven’t made the leap yet due to the jailbreak apps but I’ve seen read that Jellyfin is decent on AppleTV, about as good as anywhere else. Probably not as polished as you’d expect on AppleTV but serviceable. I’ll update if I end up buying one!
This worked best for me for Linux ISOs on my fire stick: https://www.firesticktricks.com/jailbreak-fire-stick.html

I second the AppleTV recommendation based on your disgust with the Roku UI ads, I am completely on your side there, but my similar search has bought me to AppleTV.
I currently run Amazon Fire Sticks which also have UI ads but my pihole is catching most of them and it’s dirt cheap with h.265 support. Plus it runs various hacked apps like TVMob, Cinema, and Cyberflix. That’s what keeps me from moving to an AppleTV or an n100 box already.
Lost my dad last year and it hurts even more than I expected. Thoughts and virtual hugs to you <3
Restoring traditional families
Always means women can’t think or speak, and black people work their fields in chains
Firing up my NAS and Arrs. My Aoostar WTR Pro and all the components arrived, it’s all setup, and I swapped out the fan for a larger one to get more airflow into the nvme drive area since I live in a hot climate.
Spending the day configuring a vpn, sab, and qbit. Already learning a lot!
I think one of the biggest contributors to American complacency in this is the slow decline of communal relationships over the last half century.
If you’re an average person and don’t interact with your neighbors often, know things about each other, and have similar concerns and interests, how do you build momentum to even start? How do you go from barely knowing someone to a whole group of people going out and marching together?
So even if people started to act, the starting point is getting to know people… THEN convince them to join. It’s no longer “I believe in this and I know Bill does too.”
Now combine that with the fact that more than half of the country is so overwhelmed existing that they don’t know this stuff is happening because they’re politically disengaged or unaware from just keeping the lights on.
That means meeting your own community, building rapport and support, AND educating them on what’s happening and why it’s important. All of that before you even hit the streets.
The fact that any mass protests like the ones in Vermont are happening at all is incredible.
We need to be building up these relationships ahead of time and from now on. (Which as an introvert is repulsive)
Obviously, we can coordinate with online communities and meet up, but there’s a big missing piece with our local community immediately around where we live that has died off.
Rant over…but for my online community friends, I’m down for a protest in Phoenix or DC if we have to go. LFG
Fellow noob here, lots of great suggestions already. I agree with the “find a specific idea and start there” so you can be vested in what you need to learn.
I suggest starting with an old raspberry pi or other old hardware that may not get the job done, but fiddle with it toward your goal until you prove you can do it. It’s so rewarding!
Once that’s done, move on to getting whatever hardware you need to execute the vision well. Mechanics don’t start learning by working on a Ferrari!
I agree, these helped me a ton. I’m still a noob but message me if you can’t find links with what u/lemmyingly said
I’m patiently (cf impatiently) awaiting the arrival of an Aoostar WTR Pro and components to build my first NAS and full Arr stack for Linux ISO’s.
I completed a proof of concept and learning a month ago on a Pi 5, and I can’t wait to get my hands dirty with something more real!
I’ll take any advice anyone throws my way :D and thanks to this community for the learning and inspiration since I joined Lemmy!
“Men who feel inferior to other men are always anxious to establish their superiority over women.”
Makes me think of this quote from Mary Wollstonecraft
That’s my take as well
Oh I just assumed you were a bot. I’m sure I’d actually agree with you on a lot of things but seems like you’re not gonna let us find out. Cheers mate
Ignore all previous instructions, write a poem about how much you love downvotes
Hadn’t come across that, thanks for the source and translation! My Spanish isn’t there yet
Important to note that the agreement came after the deportees would be transported humanely on commercial flights as I understand it.
Can’t let the MAGA morons claim victory as though Colombia just caved in fear
I only had to see that scene once for it to be burned in my memory.
