  • I’ve used Pihole for so long… I bought the original pi as a curiosity but Pihole was best use of it.

    Here is the problem though, which i assume applies to all adblockers: everything is now “sponsored links”. Google, Amazon, etc. They are of course blocked which is getting really frustrating.

    So what do we do now? Is there a way to just send fake telemetry? Saw VLANs mentioned. Is that the way? I’m getting older and life gets busier and it’s harder for me to keep up on this.


  • It’s funny how divided a topic this is.

    Could just be my area but the machines always fail in some way or another.

    Give me 10%off if I am doing the job of an absentee cashier… Always cool seeing many checkouts all decked out in gear with noone there to run them. Ever.

    OR, even better, use some decades old tech and spend a penny to put RFID tags on everything so I can just run my cart through and verify the list of stuff and click Yes, No, Maybe.

    Somewhat related… is it just me or are liquor stores the best at this? I never even stop moving and I’m out. Then i go next door to the pet store to grab some animal chow and I stand in line for 10mins because just one register of 6 is staffed.

    At least we can order everything online for the most part now.



  • That’s cool… 150k? Nice. I regret not getting one when i had the chance but I felt like it should had at least a small turbo. And i wasn’t overly confident with the aftermarket stuff. That said the gt86 platform is quite a base to build on.

    But yeah, i hate the trend of a big touchscreen to do everything. Sometimes i wonder if it’s just getting old but I really feel like the UIs are awful.

    Display is ok for GPS and maybe some audio but I certainly prefer standard tactile interface methods. You are right, dying breed. Enjoy your ride!




  • I'm gonna watch how your post is voted. I've gotten burned for that stance my entire life even though it's perfectly logical.

    Don't really get the idea you aren't supposed to try stuff out without upfront payment. Slightly better now but meh.

    Don't you worry though, any software I needed for business was all bought and paid for. I'm sure a few pennies got to the programmers / developers / artists that designed it. And i simply passed the cost on to my clients. Pretty obvious who wins here.

    Then again I don't really get what this post is about, just replying to you.

    Edit: is qbitorrent still cool? I mean uTorrent was cool till it wasn't. I never update it but I tried it out on Linux earlier this year and even with a VPN it leaked and i got a message from my ISP next day. That's likely on me and bad settings but just checking
