Code yes, but the information, lists, and capabilities beyond that no.

I do think it’s a low risk, but it is not zero.

They could also do some nefarious stuff if they get bought out.

Don’t get me wrong I hope they last and I’m just plain wrong, but pihole works great and is a bit more pure.

About ui/ux, you are one hundred percent right. People want and demand simple. Single click install and setup is what is really needed and pihole loses resoundingly in that, especially if combined with encrypted dns request forwarding.

Same can be done with Pi-hole. Yes it isn’t ootb, but it is easy to do.

There are still challenges with doh and isp packet scanning. Even without clear text dns, your isp still knows where you go, if not from the lookups. They still inspect traffic and destinations and can make very detailed inferences, even without https inspection on DoH or other packets.

Pihole is fully for free. AdH seems to be the same for now, but it is a company running it, they want to make money. I would be a bit worried about this.

This also doesn’t stop devices from doing their own dns over https. Adguard home and pihole will try to block the DoH locators (canaries) but can’t actually stop a tv from connecting to a known ip if it wants to.

Don’t get me wrong. I highly recommend something, and adguard home is nice, but I’m not convinced by its the right long term solution nor does either solution provide the sum total.

It just plays different. Once you get a bit further than an hour or 4 in, it clicks. Frustrating at first as the difficulty has a technique ramp and some rather hard seeming enemies.

Hellpoint is also a lot of fun.

Lords of the fallen is good, though some of the bosses and ranged enemies are annoying. Need a powerful machine due to the optimization and bugs, daily patches for most of the week.

Reality for what happened was way different. Now no one knows if he really did poison the apple, but others at the school said he made statements about having done it.

So who knows, but just remember confused super unbelievably young smart person in college getting abused by their teachers and told to just take it. There was no real structure of support in those days so he snapped.

Fortunately no one was actually hurt and in the end (after disciplinary action) it all turned out ok. Just nothing like the movie trying to explain that in 30 seconds and force his connection with theory vs practical physics.
