  Just noticed my ninja account is working again!

  Does yours actually block YouTube ads? I followed instructions and set my pi-hole up a few years ago and it works pretty well on most things but does not block YouTube ads. I was told this was because YouTube hosts the ads on the same IP address as the videos and therefore the pi-hole can’t tell the difference? However, I’ve been using smart tube on my Nvidia shield tv box and that blocks the ads. Do I just need to update my block list on the pi-hole?

  Just a thought, but have you tried requesting the desktop site from your mobile browser? I’ve had luck with a few websites that have missing features on their mobile pages.

  Honestly, I have no idea. I only ever really use twitch to watch Kitboga, and the vibe there is usually pretty chill so I’ve never thought about how streamers have to deal with harassment.

  The article mentions that but I’m guessing you can’t comment without logging in so it will cut down on harassment?

  I’m in the same boat as you with the Arlo cameras. I’ve got the Pro (4030) cameras. I read an article that said they kinda walked that decision back. They are going to continue the 7 day free cloud storage, so after the EOL date, which was July 1st, they’ll continue to offer security updates for a year, but after that our cameras will still work but not receive updates. I’ll definitely be looking for other options, but at least they’ll still work. If anyone knows a good kit that lets you host the videos yourself I’d be interested in hearing about it.

  Somebody showed grandpa how to use Lemmy? But maybe they forgot to explain how federation works? My view is that if it federates with Lemmy then it’s part of Lemmy. I think most would agree with that. Why the gate keeping?
