  This answer is completely untested and something I came up with while poking through my phone’s options. But it should work as long as the app in question uses your phone’s DNS settings.

  My Samsung phone a private DNS setting. Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Private DNS. This doesn’t seem to be bound to a specific connection on my device so I assume this value is used for any. I don’t know if this is available on all modernish android devices or iOS.

  One can set up a dns-over-https server such as github.com/m13253/dns-over-https/ and configure it to use a DNS server which is sinkholing those domains. Which it sounds like you already have setup.

  You’d have to have that public facing with a reverse proxy and a valid cert so they could reach it while on mobile data, so I don’t know that the juice is worth the squeeze.

  I’d love to see something like this in a tower format, and with regular 5.25" bays with faceplates rather than these faux floppy drives.

  I’d pay a somewhat unreasonable amount for that.

  That would suck if so since I obviously utilize it heavily but this doesn’t seem to be the case? Latest release was just a month ago and their github repo is active.

  Jellyfin/Plex like many have mentioned.

  I personally like Syncthing for petty much everything else. For general file syncing of course. But also with Joplin pointed to a synced directory for notes. With keepass as a password vault. With synced config directories for some apps across devices like newsboat for RSS, and neomutt for email. I also used to use it with rtorrent via a watch directory, though I currently am using a seedbox for that purpose.

  VPN (openvpn/wireguard) is a good idea if you want to access your services outside your local network, without exposing them all globally.

  I’m just throwing shade for fun.

  Feels like the right choice for a shitposting community!

  Are ps5’s not useful?

  I haven’t bothered with the last generation of consoles, but I haven’t heard anything bad about them.

  But maybe my “haven’t bothered” comment is a common sentiment and the answer to my own question?
