I’ve been looking in to this a bit more. I was interested in what you said about PIA so I had a look at my current VPN’s options (airvpn). Turns out they also have ad blocking options that I do remember configuring one time but then completely forgot about them.

I think I’m still going to try the pi-hole option though as my problem is with my Apple TV. I can’t install a vpn app on that. Looking at the link that op posted it’s possible to use the pi-hole on a per device basis by changing the DNS setting on the device rather than on the router, so I’ll continue using my VPN on my computer and mobile devices and just route the Apple TV through a pi-hole

How good is this in reality? It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time but I wonder if it’s worth the effort?

My ad blocker already gets rid of ads on web pages so the only thing I’d really want this for is ads on YouTube. Can it get rid of those? I recently saw some stories about YouTube potentially banning users who were blocking ads. Do I run this risk?

What about ads inside apps, can it get rid of those? For example, mobile games.

I currently use a VPN, would pi-hole affect this and if so, how?

I did some checking, weirdly both albums were released in the same month of the same year, June 2004.

The lackluster album is a selection of remixes of other artists tracks, so it’s possible he decided to use a ‘remix’ for the cover art too, changing the egg for an egg timer. There’s no remix of a Wilco track on the album though.

That’s my guess anyway, they seem way too similar to be a coincidence.

I actually used to talk with Esa (Esa Ruoho AKA lackluster) now and then many years ago on soulseek. Pity I’ve lost touch with him or I could have just asked him.

I saw the thumb nail and thought it was this album.

Hmm, that’s interesting.

I’m currently with Vodafone and they’re coming to install fibre to my home in a couple of days… for free! However, they’re only putting me on the 100mbps plan.

I’m out of contract with them so I think I’ll switch once the install is done.

Yeah, I just read through the whole thing. It’s a HUGE update.

I think it might be a known bug on multiplayer. I’ve only played that mission a couple of times with another player and it was bugged both times. We managed to complete it but there more than 6 waves, I’ve heard other ppl say that it just goes forever too.

The aphex logo looks sweet by the way.

I put a boards of Canada hexagon next to it if anyone wants to help fill it in.

That sounds more like bed bugs. No reported cases of blandford fly in derby, confirmed or unconfirmed.

Where were the bites? All over? It’s rare to get a blandford bite above the lower leg.

I’m torn between blackbox and in a room. I like them both.

You’re right! I didn’t notice until you said it though, it looks like it’s about 20 feet tall!
