@Dust0741 transfer it to a VoIP number and have a VoIP app on your data-only SIM. Unless your data-only SIM provider does some blocking

@rumba Wi-Fi network, mobile network, dates, times, user profile, what’s watched, screen size, installation platform - probably a lot of the same techniques that browser fingerprinting uses

@rumba @tatterdemalion if the app/device is collecting location and sending various other data then they’ll be feeding that into their decision making

@Lodespawn @mesamunefire :honk: :goose_honk:

@SkaveRat @brygphilomena Do you keep it in a bag like me so I can one day commission a knitted cardigan?

@XeroxCool @Entitle9294 I often read of people claiming to have broken many ports and/or cables. I can’t understand how they do it.

@Profligate_parasite @thejml #PiHole sits in your network replacing your existing DNS server you may have configured. By using a specified blocklist(s) it’s mostly used to block adverts and malware sites. Can be very effectives. Can take a little tinkering, for example one side-effect for me was it blocking a local TV streaming app.
To start with I put one on a free cloud provider, with a VPN from my router to it and played with it until I was happy.

@Nollij @Toralv ahhh #Smoothwall… takes me back to dual Slot 2 Pentium 2 full tower in my cellar next to the old coal chute

@QueenHawlSera lol. they blocked my account for having been created to evade a previous ban. Which was odd. First account there.
Figured it was some automated bollocks they’d be able to check.
Appealed, they reinstated it. Then permabanned it later same day for same reason. Gave up.

@QueenHawlSera @nightlily pretty sure that you just have to consider reddit as having been very much broken for a number of years now.
They erroneously ban good users and encourage the trolls.
The only way the experience is bearable is just to block idiots yourself and not engage.

@rumba @ruffsl never underestimate the lure of a single pane of glass approach

@markovs_gun @Abraxas Kids are being banned from all social media here in Australia soon. Including, it seems, YouTube lol.
Expensive and completely unworkable. Reminds me I must spin up that Mastodon instance for my kids and their mates :mastodondance:
It’s absolutely not about making sure everyone signs up to DigitalID.
