Are you interested in the decentralized web space? You could join the New Tech Lab discord which is bridged with a slew of servers for communities and projects in IPFS, DWeb, indieweb<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discord.gg&#x2F;mztGdAn" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;discord.gg&#x2F;mztGdAn</a><p>(I helped start this series of bridges across communities)<p>You may also want to check our Internet Archive’s DWeb Camp and monthly meetup (they have remote guests attend)

I was thinking about home routers, preloaded and preconfigured for privacy (i.e. preventing all the spyware &quot;smart&quot; appliances and whatnots to call home).<p>I am about to buy big TV and want to get some &quot;plug and protect&quot; WiFi router where this thing could connect but not siphon out any data i am not aware of.

We’re working on technology to make data analytics secure and privacy-preserving, maybe we can chat: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kiprotect.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kiprotect.com</a>, hn (at) kiprotect.com. We’re still bootstrapped and a very small team.
