Cake day: June 19th, 2023

  • I really love the way Kde 2 and 3 looked back in the day. I love KDE Plasma, but KDE 3’s design just hits differently. Maybe I should try one of the KDE3 forks again for nostalgia’s sake. I think one of them added start menu search, which was the main pain point last time I tried one. Now to figure out how to install Trinity.

    With that being said, as others have said, a DNS is like a phone book. By using PiHole with it going to a privacy respecting DNS service, you in theory eliminate being tracked by a DNS provider, but you do nothing to prevent your isp from tracking which ip addresses you access, and you do nothing to prevent search engines tracking which results you click on, you do nothing to prevent your web browser from tracking your browsing (especially on Chrome and Edge).

    In summary:

    DNS lookups: yes

    ISP with IP addresses: no you would need a GOOD VPN or TOR and either one properly configured

    Web browser: no, you need at least Firefox with data collection turned off, preferably with something like ublock installed.

    Search engine: no, requires more research but supposedly duckduckgo and eccosia are privacy respecting *citation required
