RIP what a hero. Anyone know of a replacement? Will these eventually stop working?

That works.. if you have a landline

Jolly Roger lets you three way call the bot then you go on mute and sit back!

What do you want to do? You could try to Ppick a problem and then find a service to solve it. Maybe a pi hole ad blocker, or homeassistant for home automation. Both of these run well on a pi. Then follow the guide to deploy those services.

Paid plex + Emby shares. C/piracy can’t fathom paying $5-10/mo for a catalog of almost all media ever (and if it’s not there, request it) that works well on multiple platforms and has a high spouse approval factor but it’s fantastic.

This sub is very anti paid-piracy. There’s a plexshares i believe but not very active. Lemmy is the perfect place to post these kinds of things.

Only when the artifacts in 4k look bad - like black squares on a black background due to compression. 1080p in that case is preferable.

There are certain esim providers that give you a number. Esimdb.com

This sub gets butthurt about paid services except for usenet.

Have you checked out stremio + real debrid? Have to have a computer connected but it works well and is dirt cheap.

I pay for IPTV and Emby services. This community will hate emby for not being FOSS but it has a better user experience than jellyfin IMO. There is not a great place to find them unfortunately.

Proton integrates directly with simplelogin. But you can use gmail for aliases with anonaddy or simplelogin, they just forward the alias emails to your real inbox.

It takes a little bit of effort but it’s a great time to do the following:

• get a password manager if you don’t have one already. I like 1password
• get an alias service. Proton bought simplelogin so it’s integrated, there’s also anonaddy
• gradually work through updating your online accounts from your old gmail to new aliases for each account (eg ebay@alias.domain.com) and set a complex password through your password manager that’s unique for each account

In a couple months you’ll eventually stop receiving emails to your gmail as you work through the accounts you use, and most incoming mail will all be through aliases. Then if you get spammed, you know what site leaked your email + you can turn off the alias and not get spam.

You already have a pihole. I assume you like it. You could buy a cheap minipc/NUC and set up proxmox on it and learn to set up and configure a second pihole as a virtual machine. Then you'll have a server running with the ability to expand as needed. You could look into setting up new network gear (like tp-link's omada) and run the software controller in a VM. Or you could dabble with HomeAssistant and get into smarthome. Or set up a photo management tool like Immich. Like others have said, find a problem you want to solve and use these tools!
