On Android, it's technically possible to use an always on VPN to still use pihole even when on cellular data, but unless there are some mdm controls on the phone, one can obviously disable the VPN.

It's totally doable to block YouTube with pihole, and also to make it blocked only on certain devices. The regex are: (^|\.)youtubei\.googleapis\.com$ (^|\.)ytstatic\.l\.google\.com$ (^|\.)ytimg\.l\.google\.com$ (^|\.)

They wouldn't require a warrant, but at the same time, that wouldn't be scalable to be able to record every license plate everywhere in the city. Having a barrier to accessing data can help prevent casual abuse in my opinion, so t

They had their own phone culture prior to the iPhone, with mobile phones having features like tap to pay, streaming video, emoji, video calls, and so on, twenty years ago. They just weren't exported abroad.

There are also international tourists who may have different local parking rules than the ones in SF. Having clear demarcations between allowed and non allowed parking areas makes it easier for everyone to follow the correct rules.

I'd assume those bags would be okay considering they break down after a few days of holding compostable materials, and frequently make a mess in the compost bin. The "compostable" cutlery is definitely not compostable under n

Switzerland is a bit different from the US. From what I understand, property ownership entails paying the imputed rental value in taxes, which makes property ownership much less desirable. In the US, mortgage interest is tax deductible up t

LIDARs have the advantage that they allow detecting solid objects that have not been detected by a vision-only system. For example, some time ago, a Tesla crashed into an overturned truck, likely because it didn't detect it as an obsta

I wonder if this will allow flying with an ebike battery in disassembled form. The regulations allow up to 100Wh per battery, and an unlimited number of batteries, so transporting the individual cells should be okay, at least in theory.
