PiHole and similar services just use DNS blocking, which only works if the ads are served via a third-party ad server. Sites with their own ad inventory (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc) can’t be blocked this way since they can just serve the ads from the same domain as their regular content.
Isn’t this actually more likely to happen if it’s closed-source, since the code isn’t visible to third-parties like security researchers? That’s why zero days are a thing.
Nice to see you on here! I understand the lack of time - I’ve got some projects I’ve had on hold for years because of time constraints. I’m definitely going to try Glitchtip.
If I get some free time, I’ll see if I can write some docs about using source maps for JS apps. Sounds like it works in the same way as Sentry’s does.
It was a great idea for GlitchTip to reuse the Sentry SDKs and CLI, because their SDKs are solid. They’ve got the best .NET SDK out of all of the error logging systems I evaluated two years ago which is why I was using Sentry. Unfortunately, Sentry has become significantly heavier over those two years.
Thanks! I’ll try it out. I don’t see anything on their site about JavaScript source mapping, so I assume they don’t do it. With Sentry, you upload the source map to the server as part of your JS build process, and their backend automatically maps minified stack traces to unminified ones using the uploaded source map. Maybe I’d be fine losing that in exchange for something lighter weight.
If only everyone was on IPv6, then everything could use SLAAC and worrying about IP assignment for client systems would be a thing of the past. IPv6 on a home LAN generally only uses DHCPv6 for configuring the DNS servers - client systems get IPs using SLAAC and learn their gateway using RAs (router advertisements).
If you ever switch to AdGuard Home, adguardhome-sync is pretty good. IMO AdGuard Home is better since it has all of PiHole’s features plus it supports DNS-over-HTTPS out-of-the-box, so your ISP can’t spy on your DNS queries (non-encrypted DNS queries can be easily intercepted and modified by your ISP even if you use a third-party DNS server, since they’re unencrypted and unauthenticated)
Microsoft have quite a bit of software that runs on Linux (PowerShell, VS Code, .NET, Azure tools, Intune / Endpoint Manager, even SQL Server) so it’s understandable that they’d have documentation to explain it to their customers.
