Ads. I am so fucking sick of ads. I have ad blockers on many things and my next network project will be adding a pihole to my network for network ad block. Sick of it.
My husband has set up a pihole and it’s the best ever. It used to run off an actual raspberry pi but now we have a home server and he got it set up on there. Literally yesterday he also added Tailscale to our computers and phones and it seriously rocks my socks. I don’t even exactly know what it does but suddenly I’m not getting any ads while at my in-laws house on their WiFi so, score! I am not tech savvy enough to know about these things, much less set them up myself, but I am super thankful that my husband aggressively hates ads and I get to benefit from his crusade against them.
I have an executive function disorder, ads literally prey on my disability even as society laughs at the idea of attention being something other than a product of pure limitless willpower.
It's getting crazy. Or I'm just becoming more aware of them.
