I have almost 50 containers running on a £75 used mini pc from Ebay, chucked in the bottom of a cupboard. Anyone that tells you you need a giant server rack to self host is a gatekeeping moron

The best way I found to combat spam was to change my email address. Was it a pain? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely yes.

Why would I want to dig through folders of bookmarks when I can type 3 characters in the url and have my browser suggest the right page for me?

I explicitly wanted a google one, not some Samsung-shit who add their own garbage on top of Google’s garbage.

Samsung TVs run Tizen which is their own OS, rather than a skinned Android TV. It’s pretty minimal so you need some other box or stick if you want a good watching experience, but it doesn’t do anything hostile as long as you turn the tracking bs off at setup, and there are no ads in the UI (at least on the 2019 model my parents have).

There’s no truly open source TV OS though :( I miss Firefox OS
