We’re in a very strange moment for the internet. We all know it’s broken. That’s not news. But there’s something in the air—a vibe shift, a sense that things are about to change.

I use pihole at home, but when I take my laptop out and about, I sometimes notice its fan going wild. Shut down the tab I'm reading and it calms down. What the hell are running on these sites?

I remember one time wwhen I was browsing reddit for a few minutes (booted righ before, doing nothing else, fedora os, minimum stuff installed, no unusual activity in the process list, automatic updates disabled) and noticed my fans spinning a lot, so I opened the system monitor to check what was happening. It was showing high cpu usage in a firefox process, and it registered 40bg of downloaded data!

It never happened again, so I guess it was some sort of bug they fixed, but still, it was something so bizarre to see.

Run pihole as a service... I think you can do that, maybe with a docker container?
