I've never used pihole, but on any decent router you can intercept outgoing udp to port 53, and redirect it to a destination of your choosing. DNS-over-HTTP ruined that however.

GCC -O2 made a 1,8 MB executable after a bit over four hours. I'm not trying -O3 :D I don't know enough about compilers to answer why this doesn't get optimised down to something tiny, or why it took so long. I'm not sur

Well I created the 16 bit .c file, because I'm not that curious. gcc -O0 completed immediately and made a 1,5MB executable. -O1 took about 10 minutes for a 1,8 MB executable. -O2 has been running for 1h15m so far... i7-14700K I'

I'm curious what GCC would do if it wasn't purposely lobotomised and fed 300 GB of this nuclear waste.

Please take your meds. I told you my recommendations are working fine, my YouTube is not a default bottomless pit of despair.

Yes, a blank YouTube session is the 10th circle of hell Dante didn't know about. What's your point?

People are saying mean things on Twitter, or even disagreeing with government-approved opinions! They're making 12000 speech arrests per year, but there's still far too many slipping through the cracks.

You only assume recommendations are based on ratings, but you don't know. And I have seen your metaphorical green grass, because actual ratings were a thing up until about 4 years ago, remember? >I don't find any of that on my

I have literally not rated anything at all, ever since YouTube removed dislikes, and my recommendations are working fine. Ratings indicate(d) if a given video was likely to be a waste of my time or not, and in an age of AI slop, this featur

Yes, you can vote but only the uploader can see it, making it pointless and equal to no ratings.

YouTube doesn't have ratings any more, because people disliked the wrong things which made Susan very sad. I stopped rating things on Netflix, because after doing so for a long time, Netflix still thinks I'd enjoy Adam Sandler mov

As interesting as StreetView is, it's such a colossal privacy invasion, it's absurd. In my neighbourhood, you can literally see in peoples windows, into their living rooms.

Hard disagree. Google Translate performance is abysmal when dealing with danish. In many cases its output is unusable. On the other hand, ChatGPT is excellent at it.

I like WC1 and 2, but Dune II (1992) has to receive credit for laying the RTS foundations. And while WC1 predates it, in my opinion Command & Conquer evolved RTS much more. It's wild how much happened in such a short time, back the

I get the point you're trying to make, but it absolutely is a government solution, because it was obvious to anyone that this would be the result. And there has been nothing done to remedy or even admit their failure. Asking big tech n

I refuse to engage with them on principle and will not signal denial or acceptance, because doing so would legitimise this farcical, dilettante excuse for a government "solution".

But what's the point if you're just going to use Android Auto or Apple's car-thing instead? You're just letting some other company invade your privacy.

An annoying trend I've noticed is being asked for phone number or email at checkout (IRL). I bought a blood pressure meter a few days ago, and the salesman asked "what phone number should I put on the order?" Zero. Fuck off.
