Deshittification as a Service: Reclaiming Privacy and Performance with OpenBSD pf and Unbound

How to use OpenBSD's Packet Filter and Unbound to build a zero-trust network sandbox that neutralizes Smart TV telemetry—and inadvertently speeds up streaming across your entire home network.

Part 3 of Deshittification as a Service is live! We analyze webOS 26’s active network sabotage mechanics—from cold-boot consent traps to selective socket murder when local telemetry blocks are detected. #privacy #enshittification #deshittification fabricati-diem.inform.social/post/deshitt...

A technical illustration showing network interference between a router and a smart TV. On the left, a monitor displays an OpenBSD router running a Packet Filter and Unbound DNS blocking "wiselg.com". On the right, a webOS 26 TV screen is encased in ice with a red mechanical clamp squeezing the Netflix app. Red labels on the TV read "COLD-BOOT WATCHDOG: CONSENT TRAP", "TELEMETRY BLOCK DETECTED", "TCP RST WIN=0", "GDPR ART. 7(4) VIOLATION", and "SELECTIVE SOCKET MURDER: ACR TARGET".

Block LG's tracking servers and WebOS retaliates by locking you out of the App Store. In Part 2 of my Deshittification series, I expose a blatant GDPR Article 7(4) forced consent violation. fabricati-diem.inform.social/post/deshitt... #Privacy #GDPR #WebOS #deshittification #enshittification

A conceptual illustration of a homelab network. A router running pf and Unbound connects to a glowing red 'Gatekeeper' padlock, which blocks a tangle of wires filled with eyes and 'AD' tracking icons. Clean cables run from the gatekeeper to a Smart TV, where app icons like Netflix are held hostage behind red chains and padlocks. A smartphone sits in the foreground.

Privacy toggles in Smart TV menus do almost nothing. To stop telemetry and evasive DNS fallbacks, you have to enforce honesty at the network edge. #LG #WebOS #privacy #enshittification #deshittification fabricati-diem.inform.social/post/deshitt...

A conceptual technical illustration showing an OpenBSD gateway filtering network traffic. On the left, a chaotic mess of dark cables filled with surveillance eye icons and "AD" tags enters a silver mini PC labeled "OpenBSD," showing diagrams for "pf Packet Filter" and "Unbound DNS." On the right, clean teal data streams emerge from the router to connect to a Smart TV running webOS and a docked smartphone running Netflix. Glowing light-blue airflow lines and a lung icon above the TV represent CPU performance relief and a responsive user interface.

This Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress. They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post. I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail! www.reddit.com/r/Cuneiform/...

Love it! From his post on Reddit

I have been studying sumerian for two years now. My problem has been that I have been studying by myself, from books only, without a teacher. I have been giving myself my own excercises, and checking them myself. As you might conceive, this creates something of an epistemic problem: how do I know if I am in the right or not?

I live in Finland, so I asked the local assyriological society for feedback. They said that Finland mostly has experts in akkadian, assyrian and hittite, with sumerian being somewhat of a blind spot with only one academic-level expert being active. He happens to be the same guy who wrote the textbook I am studying from.

I sent email to the author of my textbook, and I haven't had a reply in some weeks.

My next option was to send a sumerian tablet, asking for feedback, straight to the british museum. So I did just that. In sumerian. In cuneiform. I will give pictures as attachment.

I sent the tablet without any invoice or info about a week ago. Now I got an email that they have sent something to me in response. It means I have written something right, because the only request for a reply was in the tablet, written in sumerian.

I'm going to be entirely honest: I am stoked as hell.

T-minus 12 hours until the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman telescope! 🥳 Roman, the "Mother of Hubble" & #NASA's first Chief of Astronomy was the foundational architect who transitioned the concept of a large space telescope from "hopeful speculation" to a funded reality. #WomenInSTEM #astronomy 🔭

A black-and-white portrait of Nancy Grace Roman (1925–2018), NASA's first Chief of Astronomy and the "Mother of Hubble." The photo shows her from the shoulders up, angled slightly to the right while she smiles warmly toward someone off-camera. She has short, styled white hair and wears distinctive dark-rimmed, oval glasses. Her attire features a light-colored, floral-patterned blouse with a large, elegant bow tied at the neck, and a simple stud earring is visible. In the background, a framed astronomical photograph of a dense star field or galaxy hangs on the wall, subtly nodding to her life's work. The composition is a classic medium close-up, capturing an expression of bright, intellectual engagement. The lighting is soft and professional, evoking a sense of mid-20th-century academic and scientific leadership. This image captures Roman at the height of her career, symbolizing her pivotal role in transitioning space-based astronomy from a theoretical dream to the reality of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. An artist's concept illustration of NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in space. The spacecraft features a large, cylindrical telescope tube with a prominent multi-layered silver sunshield extending from the front, a gold-colored instrument section on one side, extended solar panels, and a high-gain antenna dish. It is set against a vibrant cosmic background of swirling red and purple nebulae, scattered stars, and a bright distant light source.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.

This is common among adolescents, who are having big grown-up feelings for the first time and believe that they are the only ones ever to feel so deeply, to be *real*. Most grow out of it by learning about the experience of others and the shared human condition via literature or life. Some never do.
