I’m aware, and I run a couple of Pi-hole VMs at home. The issue is DNS adblocking is only effective as long as the ads and the legit content don’t come from the same domain.

Time to outright disable Javascript in my browsers and just deal with the broken sites and generally less useful web.

I find that most people that romanticize this sort of middle of nowhere living tend to only consider it from the point of view of that time period in their lives when they are healthy and able to go years without needing convenient access to medical services.

I use whatever the latest Ubuntu LTS is on my desktops and usually laptops (besides my Macbook) at the time, and whatever the latest stable Debian release is at the time on my home lab servers.

I am very much a utilitarian and function over form kind of person so I choose what I do because it is the best fit for the problem I was trying to solve, usually with little thought to looks or UI design. I find I don’t really care so much how something is done on a given platform, just that there is a way. As a result stuff like theme options, dynamic wallpapers, etc are not something I really care about. I have been using the same black image as my wallpaper on every computer I have used for at least a decade now for example. I arrange the UI in whatever way I feel is the most functional for me within the constraints of what the platform supports out of the box. Meaning I couldn’t care less for stuff like the old school Window blinds program and what not.

Ubuntu over Windows because I wanted to get away from the ever increasing ads and general slop that Microsoft was putting into Windows while still retaining some support for gaming(thanks to Valve and Proton) and building my own systems.

Debian on servers over Ubuntu or something RPM based because Debian stable is rock solid and will run whatever you put on it without issue in my experience.

Or Disney. That mouse would shank his own grandmouse for a larger slice of cheese.

Right along with story points.

Not meant to be a measurement of time, but of effort. But everyone ends up using them as a measure of time because that is what the MBA at the end of the tables wants.

Gotta get that post nut clarity to make sure it is you and not the horny feelings leading you to making that decision.

Could be worse, could have been your mother or grandmother.

They can try, but it is unlikley to work for long. So my general reaction is:

This meme does not contain enough toenail chewing.

I’m surprised there was no further validation or approval for that kind of money beyond “find the right person and socially engineer them.”

A lot of my personal dislike for VIM would be done away with if it just had a helpful common keys cheat sheet (basic cursor navigation, edit mode, exit with and without saving, etc) at the bottom of the editor window like Nano does.
