The AWS outage hit us during the day in Australia. I didn't notice because I run my own server, btw
(aussie.zone)
And then I read about someone’s smart bed that got stuck in an upright position on heat mode because of the outage. Makes me feel like all that time sourcing devices that run locally was worth it.
Are we just digital preppers?
Edit: I get it, you aren't preppers, I'm sorry I said that.
From reading your comments I have gathered that you simply want to be ready (not prepared!) for when a free service becomes paid or they shut something down that you use or you simply don't like the idea of the gubbermint or the corporations being able to look though your data.
Many of you seem aware that your concerns are considered far fetched or like non issues by the average person.
well you are preppers, I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
VLAN setting are probably your best bet to prevent communication with your normal devices and lock the IOT devices off in their own section of the network where they cant snoop around. Same goes for Wi-Fi, make a new SSID for just IOT stuff and let them only see themselves and the default gateway.
Yeah I've been tryna find a way to do that but last time I did it I fucked up the openwrt settings and screwed some dns things with my devices.
