This ^ I start by blocking any new device to the network, even if it needs internet access (e.g. a new mini PC or something) and monitor for odd activity. If the device needs internet activity and has shown no signs of trying to phone going to something suspicious, I grant it from there (note my devices are under constant monitoring though). If it doesn't need access (tv, home automation, printer, vacuum, etc) it stays where it's at.
But yeah agreed completely. I avoid all IoT that won't work without a third party cloud or internet access. Using Nextcloud (which does my rss feeds too), HA, pihole, and Emby (also blocked from internet access via firewall rules) for me. Also a few apps I created for myself for things where there weren't any useful or good FOSS alternatives for.
That's great. It's nice to see that there are other people who care about self-hosting. Any particular reason why you are still using Emby instead of Jellyfin?
I tried Jellyfin so that I could move away from Emby, but the deal breakers for me were:
Other things that I didn't like:
I truly do want to go to Jellyfin, but the biggest deal breaker of them all is the lack of support getting it to work on the Samsung TVs efficiently. Perhaps someday it'll change, but at the moment, I'll probably stick to Emby but keep an eye out on updates :)
That probably won't solve your issues, but I can tell you a little about my setup:
I really hope that your issues get solved soon, I wish you good guck
