Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will...

Gooey0210,

Adguard-home is way better than pi-hole imo

Gooey0210,

Oh, oh, oh, gimme that!!

First time i hear about something like that, i’m going to install it asap

Gooey0210,

You can go and check yourself mr. Senior Officer of FSB, i don’t want to fight for your war

Gooey0210,

And also not secure if somebody sim swapped you, and then your privacy goes into the hands of the FSB agent who sim swapped you

Gooey0210,

Bravo, bravo, bravo!!

Dude, see you on the same side of the barricades when the time comes to fight the centralized army of agent Smiths 👏👏👏

You can’t steal something if you can’t own it Arrrr…

And really most of these AAa companies don’t make any great games anymore, just cheap cash grabs, why would even care about them

Gooey0210,

Hehehe, somebody really did it after Haier’s act of stupidity

Gooey0210, (edited )

As i understand google and Microsoft don’t really fit here

Probably the definition should look something like: companies that proactively did actions towards harming open source culture/community/movement. Don’t respect foss licensing, etc

I nominate Gitea for this one, for hijacking the project, and making it for profit organization

Also, Ultimate Guitar with their kido musescore, for basically trying to do the same thing that manga company is trying to do right now

And my favorite… Facebook for their oculus privacy and for threatening to sue everyone who tries to jailbreak or modify their devices

Simple tools is probably not considered open source anymore

P.S. oh! Really also think about Proton, Brave, and Telegram

Three companies that are famous for saying they are foss, but in really it’s often not exactly that

Proton’s and telegram’s servers are not foss

Telegram and brave had many instances of delaying publishing the source, even though they already updated the apps

Also, not sure how about now, but telegram is famous for having not reproducible builds, brave probably too

Gooey0210,

Facebook has their reasons to keep stuff as closed as possible, and they don’t claim to be opensource

But proton does, and it’s not about privacy or security, but about using banner of foss just for their own benefit, and don’t contribute what they claim to the foss community

Use encryption, using vpns for such a trivial task is a “really bad idea”

There are many cases when somebody wants to have their dns public, maybe they want to share with their friends, family, community, audience (not everyone is a solo server user)

Also, it’s good to use your dns even before connecting to the vpn. Just use encryption, it’s safe and nice

Keeping 53 opened is not that bad, the only thing you will notice is an increased load on your server if somebody tried to ddos somebody’s server using your dns

P.S. Or as somebody mentioned below, use rate limiting. It’s described pretty well in some other comments. Not just “spooky internet port”

Gooey0210,

Cloudflare is not private… not sure if dyndns has even worse reputation than cloudflare

Some services are better left to experts until you really know what you’re doing.

DNS, for experts? 😂

You host your own dns, and don’t work with glowing services, this is the private way

Gooey0210,

Or use encrypted dns 😕 it’s 2024, time to use encryption

Gooey0210,

Agree, agree, agree

But have some sidenotes to add 😂

The bootloader has to be unlocked for most approaches to gaining root;

Did you know you can root grapheneos, and lock the bootloader? 😂 pretty dangerous stuff to do, but possible!

concludes that most users are better off getting apps from Google Play.

In general, screw google play, and screw google, or any big corpo, it’s not even about security, but about them being bad companies and bad services

And the same about windows, joy is the most important thing, if software is full of trackers and just designed poorly, why would anyone want to use it 🫠

Gooey0210,

My last comment wasn’t really addressed personally to you, sorry i sounded like that

Having root is almost never a security benefit, it allows you to close one hole, but opens up 10 new more

It means you have your bootloader unlocked, you have secure boot disabled which allows for persistent malware. Just having root by itself opens up many more remote, zero click, or just very dangerous exploits

F-droid is not secure, some of the issues had been resolved, but it’s still not recommended for best practices

Of course, everything depends on the thread model

I personally really like fdroid and izzy, and other custom repos. And root is a cool thing, although i don’t have it on my daily driver(but have on my test phone)

Gooey0210,

Warden is on Izzydroid, alternative fdroid repository

It wants root so it can disable trackers

Gooey0210,

Tor, metamask, two gcams(no network permissions), librera(i tried avoiding using it because of this in the past), and element, schildi, openweather 1000027182

Gooey0210, (edited )

It’s from the same devs of aurora store, aurora droid

And really, so much talking and scepticism around a free and open source app, you can go and check the source, or at least read a review about it (though the app wasn’t update

OP is recommending a cool app to spark a conversation, but all the replies are just complaints

Cool people made a cool app, cool people are hosting an alternative fdroid repo so it’s easier and faster for devs to publish their projects for the world to see, and cool people found this app and decided to share with other people

But those people are just behaving like boomers and saying that everything around is fake, dangerous, and so on

If somebody cares for security, why would that person even have root in the first place, same with fdroid, if you care for security you shouldn’t use fdroid

Sorry if i’m being to rough, everything i said is not really addressed to you, i’m just being pissed by people not appreciating somebody’s will to start a nice conversation

P.s. the last update of this app was like 3 years ago, if somebody cares for security, they should never install an app that old, it’s not even about root or some policies

Now you! 1000027180

Gooey0210,

Just interested, sorry if it sounded not right

I just make cheese myself, like two times a week, 6 liters of milk. So i’m asking everyone if they make cheese to find my comrades cheesemakers 🫡

Gooey0210,

Struggling 😂 recently opened one of the cheddars, it tastes like a little off gouda 🤣

I even got out of rennet, i finished two bottles, the once for like 200-300-500 liters, i don’t even remember how many 😂

(Also, i broke my second press)

Gooey0210,

Did you make the goat cheese? 🤔🤔🤔

Gooey0210,
