nickthegreek··on How I block all online ads
I use this via Home Assistant add on to skip ads on my apple tvs. Not as good as smarttube on nvidia shield, but best you can do on tvOS.

sideload SmartTube. I use it along with youtube premium to get a stellar experience.

nickthegreek··on Self-hosting my photos with Immich
your internet traffic isn’t routed through it like a traditional vpn.
nickthegreek··on Self-hosting my photos with Immich
Tailscale routes my mobile device dns through my pile back at the home. I have nginx setup with easy to remember domains (photos.my domain.com) that work when i’m away as well without exposing anything to the open internet.
nickthegreek··on We gave 5 LLMs $100K to trade stocks for 8 months
My understanding is that grok api is way different than the grok x bot. Which of course does Grok as a business any favors. Personally, I do not engage with either.

nickthegreek··on SmartTube Compromised
from my understanding, https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/releases/download/late... links to 30.56, which the newest clean version. Old app stopped at 30.48.

I installed 30.56 from the git link on my Shield. It did not overwrite the old one, as it has the old signature. I manually uninstalled 30.48. I did not use the backup/restore option in either as I didnt want to dirty any data in the new app.

nickthegreek··on Silicon Valley's man in the White House is benefiting himself and his friends
Assuming the old unhealthy man doesnt die and can make those pardons, and you are still in his good graces when he is handing them out… sounds like a risky bet to me.
nickthegreek··on Show HN: Glasses to detect smart-glasses that have cameras
They were not quickly defeated. And as it stands currently, I thought there was only 1 somewhat involved hardware mod that worked. as opposed to any spy cam that you can guy purchase from amazon for a fraction of the cost.
nickthegreek··on Show HN: Glasses to detect smart-glasses that have cameras
it’s not illegal. meta raybans will detect the tape blocking a light sensor and not allow you take photos.
nickthegreek··on Roblox is a problem but it's a symptom of something worse
As a society, we limit children's access to predatory stuff all the time - porn, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling/lottery, guns, even swear words on the public airwaves.

Hank Greens account was showing japan. There are sadly, flaws in the system.
nickthegreek··on How Cops Are Using Flock's ALPR Network to Surveil Protesters and Activists
While I agree with your overall statement, I want to note that OP said private enterprise, not private cameras. Flock is doing more than distributing hardware here.
nickthegreek··on How Cops Are Using Flock's ALPR Network to Surveil Protesters and Activists
The amount of people you know who understand Flock can be counted with your right hand, and most likely can be counted without. This is not common knowledge.
nickthegreek··on Adventures in upgrading Proxmox
Ive put off that upgrade as I just dont have the time to fix it if goes sideways. What did you end up moving to?
nickthegreek··on Blender 5.0
No arguement that fusion isn’t better and easier to learn. Their licensing and changes to their hobbyist offering were no longer tenable for me which prompted my change. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I was able to work in freecad after a few youtube videos.
nickthegreek··on Blender 5.0
how long ago did you try? the recent advances have turned me into a believer as a hobbyist compared to the first time i checked it out.
nickthegreek··on Oracle is underwater on its $300B OpenAI deal
> but I'd consider it more of a coward form of violence.

Booing being a form of violence is the hottest take i’ve seen this week.

nickthegreek··on The Department of War just shot the accountants and opted for speed
In this case, the executive had the power to add a secondary title, Department of War. It does not override the primary name of Dept of Defense but it appears to be the proper amount of appeasement.
nickthegreek··on No credible tie between Tylenol use and autism/ADHD study finds
you target rfk jr, not trump.
nickthegreek··on Gmail AI gets more intrusive
Same. I know so many people who just use Apple Mail and don’t even know that there is or why they would use the gmail app.
nickthegreek··on Sam Altman Subpoenaed on Stage
no one has stated it was illegitimate.
nickthegreek··on Kimi K2 Thinking, a SOTA open-source trillion-parameter reasoning model
100% agree with you. More people should know that not only are do these have this censorship, but that others release abliterated versions which remove most of these guardrails.
