I haven’t really used adguard or nextdns before so I can’t compare apples to apples. I can say that Rethink is a FOSS local-VPN-based adblocker that doesn’t need root. I used to use a different VPN based one before that I forgot the name of, but because it was a VPN I couldn’t also connect to my home Wireguard VPN at the same time, so I was swapping VPNs all the time. I like it because I can be connected to my home VPN, and then if that connection fails it automatically uses the on-device DNS blocklists, which can be customized which lists to use. It can also set different DNS rules / bypass filtering on a per-app basis instead of being forced to being system wide. It’s been useful to allowlist certain domains for specific apps only to let them work.

Using RethinkDNS for on-device blocking, but also let it make a wireguard tunnel to my house so I can make use of my PiHole at home.
3·2 months agoI do prefer instrumental music, but for completely different reasons. Mostly for me it’s because I get earworms extremely easily, and can have a song stuck in my head for days at a time. 99% of the time it’s the lyrics that are stuck, so it’s a much lower chance to get an instrumental song stuck in my head.
1·2 months agoSame. I actually had the prompt recently when I had rebooted into my Windows disk to play a game that doesn’t when on Linux (damn kernel level anti cheat), and declined the survey because I didn’t want to help the Windows numbers. Only ever gonna take it on the Linux side of my PC from now on.
3·2 months agoWhat about without line of sight? If I get one of these is it going to work while it’s sitting on my desk, or am I going to have to mount some antennas on the roof to actually make it usable? The maps only show like three other people in my city with one, so I’m not sure how useful this will actually be for me.
I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him “do you want something that sounds good or looks good” and was amazed he actually said “looks good”. So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.
Peanut butter ones all the way.
I had to scroll really far to find this, but my LG was so good I bought another when I moved. My wife thought all dishwashers just sucked until she saw how well the LGs can do.
I’ve got this little blue plastic cup I’ve had for almost 30 years. Use it for my toothbrush. Got it when I was a kid and it’s the only toothbrush holder I’ve ever had since.
LG? Mine does the same. Also my washing machine plays the same tune.
This photo of my dog seems relevant
Great! I’ll use Button Mapper to remap that button to open Plex (or Jellyfin if I end up committing to switching to it).
Ctrl + Win + Alt + V works everywhere I’ve tried it.
1·8 months agoI used mostly this, but had to customize it a bit I think to get things working right. NUT feels like a super finicky system, but in the end it does work. My biggest issue right now is that it only reports a new status update to Home Assistant every few minutes, so the actions don’t really get a chance to trigger before the server shuts down. It also shuts down with the UPS at way too high of a percentage remaining, so I need to figure out how to make it wait just a little bit longer before the power down. It wants to power off like < 2 minutes after the power goes out…
I’ve got a project to look forward to. Have my Proxmox server with a UPS, running NUT to watch the battery percentage and power down gracefully if the % gets too low. I have Home Assistant watching that so it’s supposed to notify me before that happens. It’s not notifying me though, so I gotta look into that. I know it’s not working this morning because the power went out, so now I’m just sitting here theorizing instead of actually looking at it. 🙃
I originally missed the “I” so I went to “green”.

The one I use is called “Unpinterested!”, and is on both the Firefox and chrome extension stores. You can also use uBlacklist to block the domains.

To be honest I skimmed just of this, but the way my phone screen resolution caused line breaks I got to see the words “sususudododo baby” and that alone made me giggle.
