Can you run all your traffic through a self-hosted pihole to avoid such things?
- em3rgent0rdr 3y agoHaving a decent internet experience shouldn't require going through your own self-hosted server.
- mattl 3y agoAbsolutely not but then I never thought I’d need a 20,000 entry hosts file either.
- ericra 3y agoCertainly an option for me. But not a scalable solution for the large number of non-tech people with older devices.
- nottorp 3y agoYou're already too rich and too tech aware to qualify as the low end described in the article if you ask that question :)
- mattl 3y agoMaybe so but I also test things in a variety of browsers and devices frequently to try and avoid the problems described in the article.
- nottorp 3y agoThat's great. But you just assumed that someone who uses these low end devices has heard of a raspberry pi, can afford one and even has wired internet to plug it into.
- mattl 3y agoI was responding to someone with a recent example of a slower Android phone. I know many Linux and Android users who already have Raspberry Pi’s and similar devices they could use to set up a pihole. People who go down the “fully free” Linux path or even are using more experimental hardware have the same issues. Pihole can (I assume) also work on WiFi too.
