Using RethinkDNS for on-device blocking, but also let it make a wireguard tunnel to my house so I can make use of my PiHole at home.

Thank you for making me not feel crazy for thinking that exact same thing.
shadshack@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone here prefer instrumental music over *songs*?3·1 个月前I do prefer instrumental music, but for completely different reasons. Mostly for me it’s because I get earworms extremely easily, and can have a song stuck in my head for days at a time. 99% of the time it’s the lyrics that are stuck, so it’s a much lower chance to get an instrumental song stuck in my head.

shadshack@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@programming.dev•Steam Survey For July Shows Linux Use Approaching 3%1·2 个月前Same. I actually had the prompt recently when I had rebooted into my Windows disk to play a game that doesn’t when on Linux (damn kernel level anti cheat), and declined the survey because I didn’t want to help the Windows numbers. Only ever gonna take it on the Linux side of my PC from now on.
shadshack@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell ServiceEnglish3·2 个月前What about without line of sight? If I get one of these is it going to work while it’s sitting on my desk, or am I going to have to mount some antennas on the roof to actually make it usable? The maps only show like three other people in my city with one, so I’m not sure how useful this will actually be for me.
Yeah I’m gonna need a recipe here…
It’s built into the phone app for Pixel phones.
shadshack@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?331·3 个月前I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him “do you want something that sounds good or looks good” and was amazed he actually said “looks good”. So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.
Peanut butter ones all the way.

shadshack@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do y'all recommend for new dishwashers?1·3 个月前I had to scroll really far to find this, but my LG was so good I bought another when I moved. My wife thought all dishwashers just sucked until she saw how well the LGs can do.
shadshack@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?5·4 个月前I’ve got this little blue plastic cup I’ve had for almost 30 years. Use it for my toothbrush. Got it when I was a kid and it’s the only toothbrush holder I’ve ever had since.
I just found two of these in my garage. They’d be cool if they weren’t around every time I go to do laundry. They eat cockroaches though so I guess they’re still cool.

I haven’t really used adguard or nextdns before so I can’t compare apples to apples. I can say that Rethink is a FOSS local-VPN-based adblocker that doesn’t need root. I used to use a different VPN based one before that I forgot the name of, but because it was a VPN I couldn’t also connect to my home Wireguard VPN at the same time, so I was swapping VPNs all the time. I like it because I can be connected to my home VPN, and then if that connection fails it automatically uses the on-device DNS blocklists, which can be customized which lists to use. It can also set different DNS rules / bypass filtering on a per-app basis instead of being forced to being system wide. It’s been useful to allowlist certain domains for specific apps only to let them work.
