Sister communities:


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!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I've wanted to do this for some time, but everyone tells me there's no way to make it work without constantly updating the blacklist. Is it really such a hassle?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

    You can install community blacklists on it that it automatically downloads each day.

    Here’s a popular set of lists that allows you to pick which lists you want. https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists

    You run into issues where the website detects what you're doing and blocks your access? It happens if I use ad blocking through my vpn.

    It's happens sometimes but I must say, not very often. I could probably count on one hand how many times that have happened through my many years of using pihole.

    If you have a significant other, they will discover said instances after about 5 minutes using the pihole and you'll hear about it. I think it's a kind of law of home networking.

    Yeah, my wife works in social media. We have to let ads in.

    Ublock Origin should prevent this, it's better than any other adblocker

    Is this similar to RethinkDNS?
