  • My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you

    I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi

    Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again

    I don’t filter at all, I don’t like the chance of false positives. Like I’m sick of content about a particular EV company, but I wouldn’t want to miss news about them dumping their CEO

    It’s not hard to scroll past stuff I don’t like

    Email is quite a bit safer than people think, especially if you host your own. Typically it is encrypted from point to point, so if a company emails me it goes through their internal system to their gateway, is encrypted using SSL and transmitted directly to my server where it’s stored until I connect over an SSL encrypted link to download my mail

    Even an ISP will have almost everything encrypted as it really is the default now

    There’s practically no chance for a man in the middle attack

    I do accept unencrypted mail but nothing arrives on port 25 (unencrypted email) except scam attempts to get spam forwarded (which are denied)

    We let huntsman spiders stay in our homes. Many don’t like them living in the bedroom. Huntsmans are a large spider.

    Funnelweb spiders don’t like indoors and are also limited to the Sydney region

    Redbacks are a threat in the garage and garden, but they’re not especially dangerous
