Thanks! Random queries sound like a good extra tactic. It would prevent any of my 6 (unrelated afaik) DNSCrypt proxies from knowing with certainly about where I'm going. The queries would have to be somewhat credible and randomly timed

Thanks! I'll check it out, but it looks like there isn't a downloadable list, and inserting an extra DNS lookup as a check in my caching/resolving infrastructure isn't something I have been able to figure out how to do.

Over the past year or so I've done a complete re-evaluation of my home network and online activity with an eye to privacy and safety, after having the epiphany that the cloud is just a fancy term for other people's computers. Why

It needs to be combined with something like dnscrypt with cached ssl credentials (and the occasional request to known dnssec domains for the slightly more paranoid)

Modpacks and worlds for minetest are a bit tricky, since you need the right version of all the mods for things to work properly, and sometimes newer versions of minetest break old mods, so there is definitely some manual labour involved in

I agree completely with your assessment. I used to gripe about SfB, but Teams is hilariously bad. Off the top of my head: -200MB minimum memory usage whether you use the desktop app or in a browser. Usually much more -Animated GIFs

This is exactly the Zen moment that fixed my lifelong insomnia: lying in bed relaxed with my eyes closed, even if I'm not asleep, leaves me feeling worlds better in the morning than fretting about not being able to sleep. It's som

The best long-term carbon sequestration medium we have is wood. It is the slow and unsexy algorithm of: Plant trees, and then build things with them. Be careful not to burn them. Repeat

That's potentially the loophole that could work: The end user gets paid the ad money, and has direct access to the datastore that the advertisers are using in order to edit out bad or undesirable data.

It may be a fashion faux-pas, but tucking your pant cuffs into your socks when in a tick infested area will make them easier to spot and pull off. Doesn't help if you wear shorts or go barefoot of course
