Been on it for years, but reminds me that it desperately needs a hardware upgrade. Seems like now is the right time.

Anyone have any good suggestions? I’m still running an old pcengines apu2.

People have become so willfully, purposely, proudly ignorant.

It’s because the real motivation isn’t the kids, it’s punishing women. Babies are just the marketing.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the plain and stark language. I’m so tired of the sane washing, I’m so tired of skirting the issue. We need to accept and then figure out how to deal with the facts.

It’s not his supporters I’m worried about, it’s the apathy and impatience of the average american voter that does.

Yep, they will prop his rotting corpse up as long as they can, the plan is to having him be the wrecking ball, take all the blame, but by then the fixes are all in for the next one in line.

Not sure if they will foist vance on us, I don't think they believe he can be the front of a cult but by they maybe the power will be consolidated enough that they don't care since he's just a puppet.

What I meant by works is that between the pihole and AdGuard, I don’t see ads. I appreciate the technical deep dive, but all I really care is that I have an ad-free experience.

I too can wow with technobabble, I was just trying to give a positive experience with a product that might work for you. Seems like you’ve been down that path.

Maybe don’t use chrome then?

I am not affiliated with, and know nothing about them aside from being a user, but AdGuard has been very good on my iOS devices. Good enough that I paid for a 5 license pack for the family. It plus pihole here at home has been a lifesaver.

I don’t know how well it works for chrome but for Firefox and safari it’s been great. Worth a try anyway.

Right, I run almost the same stack as this guy, but on a dumpster dive office PC turned into my NAS, and three used, micro form factor pc’s I picked up for 60 bucks. My most expensive thing is the hot swap silverstone case for the refurb 4 and 10tb hdds.

Also, why pfsense when opnsense exists (j/k, just my preference).

Love it.

100%, I honestly wasn’t trying for a holier that thou attitude. Any snark was aimed at the higher ups in my professional life with that audit comment.

I too am guilty of having my personal stuff less than perfectly backed up. It’s better than most, but it is still not what it should be, so, that’s what I mean by it being so easy to not be backed up.

It is, but it also sucks that it is. I don’t know why people continue to have such blind spots, but given who and what is behind bluesky, why would anyone, ever think it was ever going to be open or anything but twitter 2.0?

I’m really baffled at why people are so unwilling to learn from history.
