Cutoff internet access on all apps that expressly do not need it. Install Netguard or the likes if you don’t used a VPN and see what apps are calling home.

Check out Posteo!

Some bodies ass on the line in a big way on this chain of custody.

I will look into this. Thanks. Rhasspy is super intensive for setup. Such a cool option but too niche currently for my use. EDIT: This is cool. Self hostable here a link for others to check it out. https://sepia-framework.github.io

I looked into Mycroft but sadly they have shutdown is appears. Their lead Dev left and went to work on Home Assistant. I think Home assistant is dominant in this space. But things aren’t refined for plug and play use. Yet! They are making major strides in the space though.

Ahh OK. Thanks for the info. I used flatpak on cinnamon now. I prefer KDE but its just hard to beat Mint.

What is snaps?

Linux Mint Debian edition! 💪

I seen Microcunt Teams has a really nice summarize feature of meetings things like that are so nice even taking notes and asking questions about the topic. I will look into Siri. I hate apple as much as microshit but I need something mains stream as I don’t have time to set things up. Otherwise I would go the HA route. A lot of the replies are missing the ask here. I’m looking for ways to aid in privacy of a plug and play system like an echo dot or siri, google home, etc. Such as behind a VPN, fake account, and more. Ways to protect myself from the bloodsuckers.

The main Dev left and went to work for home assistant I believe.

I really love the idea of setting this up. I keep up fairly with these types of projects. I just lack the time to implement this myself. Which is why I was mentioning a mainstream service and finding a way to privatize it. I plan to use the assistant for work. I work long hours. By the time I am done for the day I feel cooked. I need a relatively plug and play system. How could I help privatize say an echo dot? Or some other mainstream Voice Assistant.

Fruit and Veggies should be in order from least ripe to most ripe to make it easier to eat a healthy diet overtime.

Leon looks promising. I need something online though. For internet based questions and answers. I’m not sure if Leon is internet capable or have such extensive usages for daily use. That’s why I wondered if it would be easier somewhat to privatize a main stream voice assistant. I know there is drawbacks either way with what I need to do.

This is why I choose not to have kids. Actually because current state of affairs and their like a boat anchor to freedom.

Makes you feel old when you see an actor as you remember them in a movie vs reality and seeing them age.

Keep that snowball rolling!

Most major American sites no longer accept these and they have become finnicky including locking the card so you have to call the call center to reopen the lock. This is due to curb laundering. Walmart in person works. Gas stations work. Used to work everywhere now, not much.

Good job!
