I’m using it as a server, a bunch of self-hosted stuff.

Wow, this sounds like it would thoroughly piss me of.

Share the plans 😂

For real? You’ve got a source for that? Because that’s probably not cheap to do for continued use.

Meh, I’ve used dlna with PS2 over 20 years ago. Not exactly the same, but for my needs essentially the same.

I’ve used PiHole and have switched to Technitium. Basically there’s vastly more options available. A lot of DNS records and zones that simply isn’t available with PiHole.

Also much better support for more advanced protocols (DoH, DoT, …).

But to get the best out of it you do need to use the “Advanced Blocking app”, which is a sort of a plugin. And it doesn’t always play nice with defaults in terms of blockint.

It’s best if one uses one or another, also because of how temporary disabling works.

Musicolet?

Because how else will they take care of vendor lock-in without such requirement?

Diff agrees, not likely. Might be permisson related, elevation of privileges.

There are other oxidizing agents that xan maintain fire.

You don’t understand what you’re talking about. You’ve made that very clear twice now.

And who guarantees that your PC doesn’t have malware?

Seriously, people will gobble up all the shit served to them without a question asked or giving it a second thought.

All devices get individual exposed IP addresses, then you just control the flow of access through which interface. I guess…

Technitium dns (and dhcp) server instead of pihole maybe, with advanced blocking app.

I use mailu, find it quite lightweight as well.

How to factor in independence from BigTech and privacy gained?

It starts with being used in a botnet. Then your data can be either erased, corrupted or encrypted against ransom.

I don’t worry because it’s just another backup. Just in case.

You have a point. But I encrypt my content before uploading it. Going a step further one could encrypt file names as well.

There’s no reason there wouldn’t be a possibility. Maybe more effort, but simply duplicate what it does. Or launch in Docker and analyze how it’s done, then reproduce.
