Weird how people are saying it should work, lol. Blocking YouTube ads with pihole most definitely does not work. Cannot work even, it’s just how YouTube works.

I’m afraid that using something like a googletv stick (or nvidia shield etc) and installing smarttube is your best bet.

Pellet gun, that travels like 100m at most.

Oldest species on earth? Lol what are you talking about?

Iew, using the word normies seriously makes you sound like an incel.

I owe my soul to the company store.

Cars are like 5% of co2 emmisions. Until they ban dirty ship oil and curb industry emissions (world wide), nothing will change.

That’s like religious people saying: how can you have ethics without religion? Well, I don’t need the threat of eternal damnation to not murder anyone, but you do apparently. Remind me to never be left alone with those people, just in case they suddenly lose faith.

If you cant respect someone who doesn’t respect you, maybe you’re just a narcissistic asshole.

Probably crypto, that’s basically just imaginary money, it’s right up their alley.

As if google doesn’t know already, grow up.

Why at you surprised? You can have 10000 books in the space of a single folder.

That’s super wrong. Typical ai hallucination since it’s not in training data (Claude is quite new).

Obligatory pihole doesn’t block anything if they use their own dns. You can probably force all port 53 traffic through pihole if you have a decent router though.

I didn’t see anyone else say this, but 7200 rpm disks are way louder than 5400. Where my server is it would be annoying, but if it’s in a closed room somewhere you’ll be fine.

Also, these drives are probably not made to run 24/7/365. First 1 or 2 years or so it will probably be fine, but after you can expect some sudden dead drives.

Never sign in anywhere, or at least with fake, temporary accounts.

When ordering things send it to a pickup point, not home address. Preferable by fake name, but hopefully they don’t want to see your ID.

Use a privacy focused email server.

Clear cookies after you leave a website, install an addon to generate a fake random browser fingerprint.

Never go on any website where you enter your real name and address.

Be sure to renew your vpn public ip address often. Be sure you can trust your vpn provider.

Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when going outside your house so they cant track you that way. Stores do that nowadays.

Avoid being seen by public security camera’s.

Make sure your friends and family don’t post and tag your face or name anywhere.

Hope your cellphone provider, isp, healthcare provider, etc don’t sell your personal data.

Basically impossible to not get tracked at all, but you can get quite far.

Eventually they will just use server side authentication that the ads were displayed properly and the best an adblocker can do is draw a grey rectangle over it and mute your tabs sound.

The problem is that it’s not just cartoon characters, but also realistic looking people. That makes it, especially in the next years when the techniques improve, impossible to know what is fake and what is not and thus the fake ones should also be banned. And these models are trained on images of actual abused children, which of course is the main problem with this.

So they got fined 150k for not bringing enough fuel. How much would the extra fuel (and larger fuel tank) cost? Probably more than 150k…

Ok a bit offtopic, but is this really ransomware or just a fullscreen ‘ad’ that you can easily close? I wasn’t aware of ransomware on phones.

Please, with all the dragnet laws and the sharing of that data with foreign agencies there is no privacy.

Not to mention all the cameras everywhere.
