Sweet. It’s worth it IMO. And definitely fun for either tinkering or just having something solid that works (why not both? ;) ).

We’ve been using monowall - now pfsense since 2008.

I don’t necessarily recommend btw - there are lots of great options out there (like it’s cousin OPNSense and so many more).

Easy to block that - though not with pihole exclusively.

We use another tool at our network edge to block all 53/853 traffic and redirect all port 53 traffic to our internal DNS resolver (works much like pihole).

Then we also block all DoH.

Only two devices have failed using this strategy: Chromecast - which refuses to work if it can’t access googles DNS. And Philips Hue bridges. Both lie and say “internet offline”. Every other device - even some of the questionable ones on a special VLAN for devices we trust work just fine and fall back to the router-specified DNS.

An ex-Google, ex-Apple, leadership chatbot focused on improving outcomes with data and cat memes, hustling 24/7.

Not accurate at all.

Daddy and top-dog-son want to prevent the rest from moving the media business away from fringes of the right.

The claim is that they’ll devalue the inheritance for all by making it less profitable (summary only).

Great coverage a few weeks ago on NYT’s The Daily podcast if reading isn’t your thing: https://pca.st/episode/7ff0fd47-2c1c-471e-a41f-6861322838f9

2 years plus source code and working oss backends or 10 years (and still source code).

2 years will just ensure endless forced upgrade cycles IMO.

Is there a reason you need a dual book instance instead of a VM or even WINE?

Unless you need direct access to hardware and if you have enough RAM, you can probably avoid dual booting altogether.

Seems that Mr. Trump wasn’t singing the same tune when it went his way in October 2016 with a certain FBI director…

I’ve been using self-hosted Ghost for a bit and it’s a pretty well designed piece of software.

That it requires mailgun to really function well was a bit of a nuisance. But that’s a very minor nitpick that will likely change if adoption increases.

There sadly isn’t a viable one at the same level of functionality.

Edit: some random other comment appeared here. Fixed.

Agreed. Companies should be required by law to release source code, build guides, documentation and service architecture for services or apps that are required by hardware they sold.

While there are bigger fish to fry at the moment, socially speaking, the problem is only going to get worse if legislators don’t step in.

Building off the other reply - it’s the standard UX/UI design tool these days. Name a popular SaaS tool - their design / product team likely uses Figma.

They were recently in the news after their acquisition by Adobe fell through.

They also recently release a competitor to Google slides/powerpoint.
