  I installed synapse some weeks ago. Pretty easy, straightforward. Even managed to install some bridges.

  After the last matrix.org incident and some info about the failing message retention, I just killed the server again. I’m not comfy with the service being so greedy/resource hungry and also the usability sucks at certain points.

  That sounds constant 😉

  Rethink/Adguard/pihole all interfere with the DNS lookup. Depending on the quality of your blocklist, the servers they try to send the data too are simply not reachable.

  Would it be overkill to use that with my graphenOS phone, where I don’t do much browsing etc.?

  Many add just don’t show up. The reserved space stays white. Also, depending on the aggressiveness of your block list, some pages don’t resolve (just like they never existed). E.g when you click on adds in a google search result, it leads to nowhere.

  Short outtakes make no difference. It is your primary source for matching names to IPs. Depending on your configuration you can have alternative sources.

  Not exactly what I was aming for. 1Blocker works as local VPN. It reroutes all iPhone traffic through a local firewall/App, that drops suspicious DNS queries.

  Yet, it is the only way forward, unless you can convince commercial entities to play by fair rules.

  In unrelated news. Alway use a Pihole for your network and a DNS sink (e.g. 1Blocker) on your devices. What would you use on Android for that?

  That is the reason Markdown and Git are used for a lot shenanigans these days. Knowledge bases, awesome-lists, documentations. You name it.

  If you got the right tools (sphinx, typora, mkdocs, …obsidian) you got a powerful toolchain.

  This might be an unpopular opinion/solution but even for two small size sister companies we are doing inventory in a version controlled markdown file 🫣
