sorry dave I can’t do that.
Oh, it’ll be worse than just that…

- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 13 hours ago:
I’m all for services making a reasonable profit and being able to fund new shows and such endeavors…
But we’re rapidly getting into an environment of “soaking viewers for all we can get out of them” simply to feed the fucking shareholders ever larger payouts.

As a company that was forced to realize their profit model was <advertising and data> and <advertising and data> alone…

Certainly possible though not so versed in Pihole capabilities that I can imagine how that happens…
My DHCP is handled by an EdgerouterX…
My Pihole is limited to DNS only.
- Comment on I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn’t expect them to be such losers 1 week ago:
Money will never buy love and peace.
True enough.
But, in the broken psyches of the ones you’ve mentioned, it buys perfectly serviceable alternatives which they can convince themselves actually does make them happy.
They are so broken that broken solutions actually work for them…

Personally, I’m creating an environment in which I’m not dependent on any cloud provider on the front end.
I do have a cloud backup solution for all my data files on the off chance I lose every single on-site backup and closely-held remote backups (read: not in main building but still on property…).
Just trying to get away from reliance on the existence of someone else’s computer/datacenter…

- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 1 week ago:
Interesting…
I’ve a single Pihole instance running on a RPi 4 and have experienced not a single instance of any of the 3 probs you mention. Except, of course, the very few minutes it takes for a reboot which I can schedule and am aware when it’s happening…

Google/Alphabet completed its transition into a full-on data/advertising company some years ago…
Since then, its products have become increasingly intrusive/useless/invasive/unserviceable,

Fuck Google. 🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕

Pfft…
Disinformation on a global scale is Meta’s raison d’etre… It’s their best revenue creator. Especially in the current US “gov’t” climate. They are now shielded.
Anyone not clued into this fact is either not paying attention or is being willfully ignorant.
Oh, and FUCK ZUCK!!
