I do not think you are disagreeing with me. I know that there is little you can do to protect yourself for privacy. Privacy was a mirage of the late Twentieth century.

I use wireguard to get into my LAN so the cell network knows where my phone is at all times. I am doing my best to separate everything from Apple but I am forced to keep somethings to communicate with family.

Most of my IoT is separated into a vlan, I do not use any of the “smart” things on my TV. When I saw how much data it was sending when I first started using my pihole I reset it and made sure it was not connected to the internet. It bitched and complained until I figured out how to turn that feature off completely.

I use unbound as my DNS, and I have it look at cira privacy for its DNS. I am well aware that I am being followed and being sold but I damn near will try hard to hide.

I also live in a condo (advertisers do not like condos or rentals, I very briefly worked in the field), I have a no flyers sticker in my mailbox as I want to avoid the influence of those ads.
