Sprites arguably has the better security boundary, since the agent isn’t sitting adjacent to my laptop and home network.
Though if you just want a simple ENV var that handles this WHILE honoring the specification on this page: https://github.com/alloydwhitlock/do-not-track-cli
MQTT is a messaging protocol used to communicate with the device. You can use something like Mosquitto to communicate with your new IoT device. It is lightweight protocol and easy to work with.
You'd use something like an ESP32 – which has Bluetooth – if you want a simple BLE beacon, otherwise if you don't need Bluetooth then an ESP8266 device would likely work better.; If you want to look at related videos, I'd suggest looking at the YouTube channel Andreas Spiess publishes with various devices. He has a few videos on BLE and ESP32 (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNoFdKgvskU) where he goes into detail.
If you don't want to use a Sonoff Basic or maybe the bigger 4 channel option, I'd suggest getting some of their wall adapters like the S31 (think Wemo wall plug). There is a confirmed flash for Sonoff-Tasmota & ESPurna for it and would let someone dip their toes into cheap home automation with MQTT.
That's a pittance for such a critical flaw in their purchasing system, especially for a company valued at over 180 million USD. 5000 Rupees is, by the way, worth $77.19.
Disappointed? Yes. I wrote this post on my Cr-48 running Elementary OS Luna. Instead of running Apt to update my laptop now I'm browsing DistroWatch in another tab to see what else has come out.
