I'm happy to see the 4GB RAM and better overall performance now available for a mere $55. I admin over a dozen RPis at work for signage and sometimes they barely keep up, but as a non-profit, we don't have the budget for much else

So true. When I served, the occasional crap job would come around and everyone was expected to chip in. We had to field day the barracks every Thursday night. There was no liberty until it was done and inspection complete. As an NCO, I made

One thing I took away from growing up a military brat and then being an NCO myself in the military: You lead people, you manage things. People are not managed, they are either led well or poorly. Good leaders lead from the front, right alon

Good info; thank you. I'll check it out.

Not to mention they are far too involved in politics, which tech companies should not be, at least not overtly. I realize I'm likely in the minority here, but I grow weary of tech companies thinking they need to overtly champion causes

I really at a loss why decent browsers for "techies" cannot be better. I really like uzbl-tabbed even though it's fairly primitive and the code is getting older. All I need in a browser is the ability to browse (tabbed) while

That's a very liberal view inconsistent with justice. If you rape, murder, engage in paedophilia, sex trafficking, etc., just once, that's once too many times. You've broken the social compact to the point where you need to p

There is a code to living that cannot be violated. If we live in a civil society, we all have a personal mandate to be civil. Laws exist to act as a hedge against evil. They don't always work. There are some brands of evil that need to

Society has not failed some people. A person for whom all mental and physical faculties are intact, yet is simply evil (these people do exist), who goes on to rape, murder, engage in paedophila... these people have failed society and should

My guess is that because the Russians actually warned of him and his family, yet the US failed to act upon that intel means that perhaps we wanted a favor in return or to use him for something else politically. Happens all the time.

Let's be honest here for a moment. Look at the monsters like drug dealers. Everyone knows for a fact they are doing it. I'm talking crime boss types, not some thug on a street corner. Guys like Pablo Escobar. Colombia could have g

I'm wholly in favor for the death penalty. I've heard all of the arguments. Some people just need to be dealt with with finality. Having said this, I'm for the death penalty for the following crimes, if they are proven beyond

Agreed. My mainstay for some time has been Pi-hole coupled with browser running uBO, Privacy badger, Decentraleyes, Webmail Adblock, Tracking Token Stripper, Neat URL, Referer Control, and No Coin. I see nothing but pure content. I also lik

Thanks for the info. My ISP tends to be fairly benign with stuff like this, and as little bandwidth as DNS lookups use, I doubt it would feature in unless they are blocking DNS, but I guess I could also set up a VPN as well.
105.
by stirfrykitty 7y ago
Thanks for the option. I know some VPNs do this, but what about having something like Pi-hole as a paid service. Being that hosting and bandwidth for said hosting is dirt cheap, how difficult and/or legal would it be to set up a servic
106.
by stirfrykitty 7y ago
What about Pi-hole as a service? Surely someone could set up Pi-hole or similar as a service. $5 a month or something similar. You could point your home network and mobile device to the service.

That is patently ridiculous and taken to the extreme and you know it. We are talking reasonable possible situations (not world events) that you may find yourself in. And yes, if I had a choice to save an entire building or just my kid, it&#

You (metaphorically) still didn't answer the underlying question, namely, wouldn't you do anything it took to save a loved one? The answer isn't grey, it's black and white. The answer is always YES to doing what it takes

Depends on the situation. Let's say you have a hostile war captive (enemy combative of a high rank) who is the ONLY one who can provide you with critical, war-winning details. You (metaphorically) would want to do whatever it took to s

I have no idea why everyone isn't blocking all ads, trackers, beacons, or even using Facebook to begin with. Everyone knows what they are about. An ad-free Internet is a good Internet. Personally I have not seen a single ad online on m

I'm well aware of the advances. However, I can tell you that 6mm or .30 trumps 5.56 every single time w/o exception and the military is actually looking to replace the 5.56 with a 6mm cartridge. 5.56 is a weak performer. There ar

My living in the past is YOUR opinion. There are many millions of FOSS users who are highly opposed to MS having any influence whatsoever on FOSS. They have an agenda and it's never in the best interest of the FOSS crowd. Do you think

Most modern firewalls can decrypt/re-encrypt all traffic on the fly. The end user doesn't even notice. I've done this at my last two jobs. More here: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail

USMC, 86-94. As an NCO, I was issued a handgun because my MOS called for it. The Corps has different doctrine than the Army. Issuing a handgun makes plenty of sense in certain environments. I did lots of "jungle time", as it were,

This may be true, but I don't want MS having ANY say on what goes into a Linux or FreeBSD OS. None. They have an agenda that doesn't fit in well with FOSS. May no mistake about it, driving everything so that it works with Azure&#x

Palo Alto firewalls do decryption on the fly should you want to look at this. It can all be logged with short or long logging. Worked in your arena for 5 years. Kids are creative and crafty. We had kids getting around the MDM/DNS block

Why not run a Pi-hole? You only stand to benefit. Whilst it doesn't address DoH, it does go a long way in preventing the tracking you mention. It also saves on bandwidth. And because it works at the DNS level, you benefit from the call
