I can’t tell if the author is being repetitive to make the article longer or if it was written by ChatGPT.

IPv6. Stop engineering IoT junk on single-stack IPv4, you dipshits.

The large soda is always a Diet Coke. Working in fast food, I learned the “add mayo, add bacon, extra cheese, no lettuce, no tomato” crowd always complements their order with a huge diet cola.

At a high level it involves a terrible custom parser written in Ruby for several formats of DNS blocklists. It finds the proper domain then outputs a large configuration file for Unbound.

I’ve attempted to Dockerize it but honestly, I think it would be better to use a superior parser written in another language that can be statically compiled.

I was using Fly.io to host it in various regions using an Anycast IP, but since I’ve moved onto using VPN for everything I’ve moved it to a few hosts acting as Tailscale exit nodes. Those exit nodes provide the blocking DNS service along with rewriting incoming Tailscale client traffic to route out of another network interface assigned to a VPN provider.

Had I unlimited free time I’d rewrite the parser in Crystal, but part of me thinks there’s got to be something already written by someone in Go.

It’s a common solution but I do something more involved and manual, but it’s the same concept.

The term state at the international level usually refers to a nation-state. Nations generally have different terms like state, territory, province, etc for their internal divisions, hence state can refer to both meanings.

I go hard with DNS-based ad blocking and I’m constantly confirming it works by checking the network tab in developer tools. I’m basically only seeing first party scripts and CDN assets — 99% of websites load all the tracking garbage from third-party domains that can be easily blocked.

I use it and it’s pretty great, though it sometimes does feel like a hack (I mean, that’s essentially what it is).

For a better experience pick a search engine in Safari that you’ve blocked with DNS so that you’ll never see a glimpse of it before xSearch redirects you (as you would on a slower network).

I don’t even remember mine unless I’m going somewhere I know doesn’t have NFC. It’s a flimsy, shitty wallet that I only bring to flimsy, shitty points of sale and I’d really like to not bring it at all.

I purposely take awful photos from time to time and I didn’t realize I could set the key photo in Apple’s Photos app. Without fail it chose the absolute worst photos of people to the point I cracked up for several hours after seeing the People albums it generated.

I grew up in Iowa and was always curious about driving to Winnipeg on a whim knowing nothing about the place. I don’t live anywhere near there now though.

Yeah, I live in lawsuit happy USA and pirating through i2p has never landed me letters in the mail. They don’t even know what it is you’re looking at let alone where it truly came from.

Again, I really recommend reading about the subject instead of trusting some idiot (me) on the internet.
