Nice to see humanity has its priorities straight as usual… :)
- Comment on Interesting question when you think about it 3 weeks ago:
People are afraid of a state they cant even feel or be concious about. The actual dying may not be fun though but being dead is the easiest thing you can be.

Seems minor. If they wanted people to pay for it, they would block games since thats what most young people use windows for…
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. I havent used windows in a long time but when I was, you could play games without any license… What is locked?
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 3 weeks ago:
Actually these days, windows is free because what Microsoft wants is your user data. And unless you stop that from being sent to Microsoft, you are generating profit for them every time you use your computer.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
So companies are not using vpns?
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
You cant ban vpns, its easy for tech people to set up a vpn server on any server on the internet and connect to it. Wireguard for example, super simple.

Yeah that would be the logical end game since companies have invested billions into this trend now.

When will we ever get rid of the .95 or.99 in every price… I guess never.
Im amazed it somehow works and the consumer buys more when using this system.

Maybe, but then who will supply the answers that Ai needs?
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 5 weeks ago:
Would love to but a lot of them have shut down now since people didnt buy them.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 5 weeks ago:
The larger problem that is not discussed so much is the amount of Ai generated garbage that is put on the web now.
When these Ai web crawlers start to read that Ai garbage as source data, the models will start to become worse and worse, and as a result, our Ai clients will start to get worse and worse.

They wont be happy until eye tracking technology makes sure we sit and watch their fucking ads before the actual content appears.
I mean, none of this is getting better. Its only going to become worse. I have ads in the fucking pause screen on my streaming tv app. So if I want to take a toilet break, I get an ad in my face. Its just so ridiculous.

Its actually not easy to run two of them since they are not designed for using a shared disk (you can get corrupted data). Its also not necessary, you can just leave the secondary dns server blank.
But if you want two because you want high availability in case one of your piholes goes down, you can rsync the settings between the two machines every 5 minutes or so. Its important to keep them in sync that way.

I switched to adguard home recently, much nicer user interface and I dont miss any features from pihole. :)

Its only wrong because humans have decided its wrong, when you think about it.
During roman times, it was common with complete orgies. Society makes up these rules as it goes.
- Comment on People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis" 5 weeks ago:
It will take another five seconds to find the same info using the web. Unless you also think we should censor the entire web and make it illegal to have any information about things that can hurt people, like knives, guns, stress, partners, cars…

Well yeah. Companies are creating jobs that consumers needs to “buy” (with their life/time/skills) so they can pay their bills.

Sounds reasonable. The time and energy ive lost on trying very confident chat gpt suggestions that doesnt work must be weeks at this point.
- Comment on A CEO explains the viral 'Gen Z stare'—and why it's going to backfire on them 5 weeks ago:
Its more of an attitude than a stare I think. A few days ago i went into Bauhaus to get some stuff and the yen z people in customer support was so bored out of their minds. They hated being alive and doing stupid trivial shit to help customers like me. I understand it. Pay is probably awful and they waste their best days of their lives sitting in that place working for a corporation.
I kind of like the attitude they have.

I hope you also can get out of the rat race when you feel you had enough. :) For me I just got sick of it at 50.
- Comment on jobaphobia 1 month ago:
In dollars, about 500.000. So if stocks go up 1%, thats 5000 dollars.
My monthly costs are about half of that. So im thinking it should work out fine. Its a risk of course, but its not a huge risk to take. I think its going to be fine.
