TIL - thanks!

The mastodon version of a post or, sadly, tweet.

It’s, uh, not the best name.

But maybe, just maybe, it more appropriately attributes correct value to a social media thing. ;)

Sweet. It’s worth it IMO. And definitely fun for either tinkering or just having something solid that works (why not both? ;) ).

We’ve been using monowall - now pfsense since 2008.

I don’t necessarily recommend btw - there are lots of great options out there (like it’s cousin OPNSense and so many more).

Easy to block that - though not with pihole exclusively.

We use another tool at our network edge to block all 53/853 traffic and redirect all port 53 traffic to our internal DNS resolver (works much like pihole).

Then we also block all DoH.

Only two devices have failed using this strategy: Chromecast - which refuses to work if it can’t access googles DNS. And Philips Hue bridges. Both lie and say “internet offline”. Every other device - even some of the questionable ones on a special VLAN for devices we don’t trust - work just fine and fall back to the router-specified DNS.

An ex-Google, ex-Apple, leadership chatbot focused on improving outcomes with data and cat memes, hustling 24/7.

Not accurate at all.

Daddy and top-dog-son want to prevent the rest from moving the media business away from fringes of the right.

The claim is that they’ll devalue the inheritance for all by making it less profitable (summary only).

Great coverage a few weeks ago on NYT’s The Daily podcast if reading isn’t your thing: https://pca.st/episode/7ff0fd47-2c1c-471e-a41f-6861322838f9

2 years plus source code and working oss backends or 10 years (and still source code).

2 years will just ensure endless forced upgrade cycles IMO.

If it’s a backup server why not build a system around an CPU with an integrated GPU? Some of the APUs from AMD aren’t half bad.

Particularly if it’s just your backup… and you can live without games/video/acceleration while you repair your primary?

Shawshank Redemption.

The Big Lebowski.

Also Star Trek 2.

So many great ones though.

Write to LanguageTool. They’re OSS in name only at the moment. I self-host their server, but the client is only usable on desktop and limited to web browsers without their paid version.

I’ve long been asking to be a customer, but to use their self-hosted server for privacy.

I think there’s a small but growing market for folks that want a quality grammar and spell check but don’t want data sent to the cloud.

If I could connect iOS to my LT server that’d be so rad.

Is there a reason you need a dual book instance instead of a VM or even WINE?

Unless you need direct access to hardware and if you have enough RAM, you can probably avoid dual booting altogether.
