akilou , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

Right. I mean, I looked into this a few years ago when I set it up and just accepted my fate

akilou , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

You should definitely set up pihole but I don't think it'll block ads on streaming apps unless I'm wrong and someone can point me to something that explains how I can set that up.

akilou , 7 months ago to Privacy in Best alternative to Chromecast?

Explain setting up a Raspberry Pi to your aunt and have her tell me it's a low pricw. Let alone lineage os, Jellyfin, Smart tube, and whatever else was in your list. And that solves just casting and steaming. Now do email, messages, browser tracking and fingerprinting, and everything else in our lives... It a lot. And honestly too much.

For large chains in the suburbs this is totally normal. They're basically warehouses in a sea of parking lots filled with shelves and racks. Sometimes there's carpeted areas in between the tile walkways or displays that go up high enough that it feels enclosed. For smaller or more urban stores, you don't see this kind of construction.
