Pi-hole DNS Server PT1
https://pi-hole.net/
Network-wide Ad Blocking

I have had a Pi-hole set up near my cable modem for at least 1-2 years 
now? Time moves differently for me for the last 18 months. Regardless, 
my Pi-hole device just sits there, filtering out ads from the network. 
I highly recommend setting up a Pi-hole for your home. It's cheap, 
easy, effective and efficient!

What is it? 
A cheap Raspberry Pi computer with an SD card. Gets power from a phone 
charger and connects with a simple Ethernet cable. Runs passively 
without any fans at about 37 degrees C. 

How do you use it?
You can set it up as a Wifi source, or you can add the IP address in 
your wifi settings for DNS server. Use the same IP address in your web 
browser to see a web interface. From there you can modify the 
whitelist/blacklist and see in real time how many ads are being 
rejected. 

How do you set it up? 
There are many guides. Here is a good one:

Pi-hole DNS Server PT2

Essentially, what is involved?
You flash a linux OS for Raspberry Pi onto your SD card using something 
like the Balena Etcher. I prefer "dietpi", which is a low resource 
Debian distro.

A simple 8GB or higher card will suffice. Then you install Pi-hole on 
it. 

How do you maintain it?
Every now and then, it's good to log into it with SSH and run a "sudo 
apt update/upgrade" (if you choose a Debian distro). That's it. 

I have over 4 million domains on my blocklist and it makes a HUGE 
difference when I load websites without Pi-hole DNS configured in my 
wifi settings. 

Bonus: You can SSH into it and install lynx, mc and any other useful 
linux terminal programs and have fun with it. As a double-bonus, you 
could even run a website or music streaming service using it!

#3 There are countless Youtube videos from South Asia explaining how to 
use "ethical hacking tools" (LOL) like HASHCAT & Mimikatz yet the leader
 of the free world was banned. Go figure. I'm sure Windows 11 will fix 
everything. 

That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

The real prize is IOS though.

I'm 100% sure alphabet agencies and the PRC can figure out how to use 
bitcoin.
What a world.
The fact that everyone and their uncle is demanding your real phone 
number, biometrics and other private data to operate without anonymity 
should be a concern. But facebook and candy crush.
