NextDNS and similar services basically host the pi-hole on your behalf. Pi-hole setup involves installing packages on a device that will handle your ad content filtering and related network configuration; NextDNS involves getting a URL to copy-paste into your phone, computer, or network’s DNS configuration settings. The latter is far less labor-intensive. The trade-off is that you have less control over how things get blocked. Pi-hole is more of a local solution than NextDNS, but if you don’t want to fuss with the tech and just want to start blocking more ads, go with NextDNS (or similar).
Here is an article that covers info about how to set this up on an Android phone and several private DNS provider options: https://www.theupdatebox.com/how-to-enable-private-dns-on-android/
If your soup or sauce sparks a little bit next time, you’ll know, lol.
I have been using Calyx for the past few months, which is a 1 year pre-paid connection through the T-Mobile network for $750 the first year. No data caps, have used it in the Southwest, South Central, and Midwest parts of the country with fairly good results. I measure up/down occasionally and get anywhere from 30Mbps - 250 Mbps up / 1 - 25 Mbps down. Lots of variety in the signal based on location and time of day, which is my main complaint, but it should be expected with a mobile data connection. Not fancy, but I go through a lot of data at my job and generally don’t have much problems streaming video.
To be honest, I will probably try to switch over to a fiber connection when my year is up because I’m not longer working from the road, but it really hasn’t been the worst solution by far.
Exactly. If you’re someone who engages in piracy, you should be quite used to putting in this type of effort.
True, I sold my stash for a great fortune near the end of the game. It wasn’t particularly worthwhile to have stockpiled as much as I did (though it was still fun, I really like crafting games).
To add to this, in this case there is even some rationale for being closed source - given the critical nature of the code, less visibility means availability to examine it for exploit opportunities. But that’s just one side of it, right? Open source might mean more opportunities to find and fix possible exploits as well.
You are super cool, thanks for your story.
I hope those are soap bubbles.
Agree, I’ve used the same one for almost a decade a few times a month with no degradation.
Even worse is when your luggage gets switched with someone else’s by mistake - Stranger’s Things.
You don’t already want the latest iTube?
Helped me quit cigarettes at least.
Games where at least a significant portion of it is low-key/relaxing. Thinking Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, Spiritfarer.
I think it’s too early to tell how it will affect the IPO - with valuation already cut drastically by Fidelity earlier and very much ongoing contention from the community (just took a look at r/pics and r/interestingasfuck, wow), they aren’t really going to be entering in the position they could have without these recent poor decisions.
I think it would be possible not to tie up/down votes to a particular user and still be able to allow votes, but you would probably need to disallow changing a vote (unless there are some fancy uses of cryptography I don’t know about). You could use a bit field to indicate whether or not a particular user voted on a particular post, whether up or down doesn’t matter. You could register the up/down count to the table that has the post id and not tie it to the user that voted. But then a user couldn’t change their vote because of that arrangement.
I don’t personally care how my votes are recorded, I just like databases.
Man I really hope this is someone trolling on LinkedIn.
Oh my god… I get it now, thanks ⭐
