Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    With a pi hole, you're basically setting up a DNS server that has built in abilities to stop ads.

    What that means is, you can point your router (or any device really) at that DNS server (pi hole) to block ads.

    Ublock is good.

    Due to remote work constraints, a pi hole doesn't play nicely with their stuff and I can't be bothered to figure out a work around. Mostly because it's my wife's remote work, and their IT is hesitant to talk with me about it - I get it, I wouldn't do that at work (I'm in IT).

    So I use ublock on Firefox on both my desktop and phone, plus I run through a VPN that blocks ads and malware for everything else. The VPN is a separate use case, but that's just an added benefit.
