Raspberry 4B and RPi 3B - PiHole Synced with gravity sync

- Wireguard

- Openspeedtest https://openspeedtest.com/ as a container to test random wifi speed issues

- CUPS

Experiments: - qbt for seedings ISOs

Alongside probably whitelisting : Most speed test sites hit the ISP cache or peered traffic and hence are much faster.

you can inspect fast.com and see this in action: It will show up something like "ipv4-c209-sea001-ix.1.oca.nflxvideo.net" Which is their openconnect [1] location in Seattle IX.

In many cases you will probably see a prefix indicating your ISP - Most ISPs with some scale host their own caches or peer with an internet exchange directly.

Incase of speedtest - its the same story most ISPs host servers locally and speedtest's website generally tests from it

Most of my ISP screw ups are involve content which isnt cached and its difficult to convey that when your netflix is able to stream 4K content easily but struggling to download a 100mb file of some AWS region :/

I sometimes use proof.ovh.net and ping.online.net to test using iperf also ec2-reachability.amazonaws.com helps debug if ISP is having issues with connecting to AWS (more open than not thats the case with mine)

Apart from some USB port selection issues there has been pretty much no problems running this for over a year

Explains my confusion with early internet "cliparts" and icons being always in yellow. I am sure most non westerns might be equally confused.

Oh IT cell actually reads tech news?

Firebog.net has curated lists

It's my home network, there are devices you can count on your finger. Also DHCP lease times by default are in multiple hours on home routers so IPs don't often change. also the web Interface shows hostnames

So this happened after a posted this comment (weird coincidence :/)

My pi hole graph started to look like - https://imgur.com/a/Jj8bmPW

NVIDIA geforce experience really wants to talk to the mothership :| Ended up uninstalling it

I use lists curate by firebog https://firebog.net/

+1 The API support this too

I use the web interface and filter it with the IP address of the device. It will usually show up in the top of the list and try whitelisting.

Example my Samsung TV took some effort : multiple domains were blocked and had to restart my TV everytime, thankfully PiHole has a neat responsive web interface. After allowing 2 domains it started to work or else it wouldnt go online.

I am actively using PiHole in my home network with over 8 devices doing around ~30k requests per day. Some highlights:

* By a huge margin the nosiest device is my Android Phone. >40% traffic is coming from just my phone (which is crazy!)

* I have 650,000+ in my domain blacklist and folks complaining about "it doesnt work on pihole" just have taken that tiny bit of error to unblock some domains like "ssl.googleanalytics.com" which break a lot apps. It took me about 1 day to see what isnt working (ex Facebook app break if graph.facebook.com is blocked)

* On avg 28% of my requests are blocked and 42% are cached. I am quite sure generally my surfing experience is snappier

-- Things like learn running PiHole :

How prevalent tracking really is across the web. A lot of apps dont go "online" if google analytics is blocked (example Toggl)

Manufacturers like Xiaomi are spamming the network with requests - mostly for notification spam

How amazingly scalable, stable RPi+PiHole is - we ran a workshop with 150+ DHCP leases and nearly a few 100k DNS requests without a glitch. Pi didnt even heat up a bit

SmartTV are freaking noisy. Samsung TV makes ~300 DNS requests in <5 min of startup. Literally every button press in the "smart home" is tracked

tip : you can assign sites to specific containers - so amazon always opens in shopping

No they won't bcuz UC comes with features that people actually like

-data compression (which also acts as a vpn to access blocked content)

-content feeds

There are a few things you forgot

$2 CPM!! That's not even close to what shitty ad networks pay. Majority of traffic comes from countries with < 5 cent CPM

HOSTING COST It's not just about running a wordpress website here. Most decent site run auto uploaders which need decent size seedboxes. Easily hovering around a thousand dollars

Sources/runners: If its a scene pre-d site you need access to some runners. Scene access isn't cheap

Changing Domains & black hat seo: These sites are constantly loosing domains and almost all google ranking ones are using black hat seo to get their ranking. Usually means paying someone to do the dirty work.

-- Some revenue streams you missed

- Pay Per Link (aka locked/paid link shortner) things like AdFly

- Background Crypto miners (becoming rather popular on streaming sites)

-'FTP ACCESS' / paid subscriptions

Still millions? Not by a long shot.. Few thousands.. Probably yes

Quick tip : you can blacklist nearly the full .Bid TLD. Its will stop a lot of popunders

A standardized list is also on coursebuffet.com

The list looks great! Some form of curation/recommendation (esp in the book section) would help in navigating the huge list

Have implemented DMARC? Is the effort worth it?

iRedMail is a pretty good project too

Sounds interesting. I have been looking for a proper mail Server for sending marketing only for a while now.

I'll wait for the doc to update but until then :

Does it do things like IP rotation?

Is it using postfix at the backend or its a complete mail Server

What kind of list management features does it have? (i am looking to compare with interspire)

Yep post titled got edited (maybe mods ?)

Any other side effects? I read a few people complaining fogged memories after longer cycles.

And another quick question what is ur schedule? What time do you take it?

How long have been taking ? Can you explain your stack & schedule ?

How have managed to avoid tolerance ?

+1 this I have tried 100 mg (even 50 at times) and the "noise filter" is exactly what I have experienced.

It doesn't give the "alertness or kick" of coffee but it gets you in this mood of "do things".

I am a bit worried about the side effects so I haven't ever taken more than thrice a week. Unlike many others who report I don't any changes in mood. Its easy to stretch your days after so you got to be careful not to over burn yourself for the day.

Also I get a really good night sleep after a day of 'killing it' - which may just because of feeling good as a result of getting things done.

I remember them mention about making a good messaging app without calling fluff (can't exactly point to which blog/faq)

But seriously how do they pay their bills? (I know VK brothers are super rich)

There are bots that relay huge media files

It's probably (imo) the fastest & most complete cloud based chat app

Everything.. Literally everything you share can be retrived over the cloud

& and now calling

That must be super expensive infrastructure? No investors no monetization

I meant less crappy among the usual "file hosting sites". Mediafire for one is a pretty good service with 10GB for free but some times has too many annoying ads

OP's site looks great!
