it has that as a setting, but it more of an afterthought

vox , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in Does anyone have a .eu.org subdomain?

they ignore all requets.
i have a couple of pp.ua domains, and there's no limit on them (you cant register more than 3 per month)
but unfortumately one of the requirements is that you can't hide phone number and address from WHOIS records and you must provide them your phone number

fuck gentoo, spending an entire week compiling shit is not something i want to do
I'd rather stick with arch or fedora

you don't need to write protect them, except options related to ms defender. (which can be removed as "malware" by the defender)
they won't get reset.

you should use MAS instead of Pico

also, gpos are just templates for the registry, you can just look them up and apply manually (ehich is actually faster than finding anything in the official gpo editor), unless you're a sysadmin and managing a whole fleet of machines (this is what gpo editor was actually made for) there's no real need for it.

this is borked in win11, and got borked in win10 a month ago.
my secondary win10 machine that had been edge-free for at least 4 years, just got edge back and since it was also disabled by policy, throws an error on every boot, since apparently that piece of crap tries to autostart for whatever reason (even if autostart option is disabled, it just starts in background, does something and closes a few minutes later)

pihole uses the same method of blocking as adguard dns but is more configurable, and since it's usually self-hosted you have full control over it.

btw, nextdns is pretty good too (think of it as a managed configurable, slightly more private alternative to adguard dns, great if you're not into self hosting).
it lacks custom domain blocklists tho. you can add your own white/blacklisted domains but not whole lists, except ones provided by nextdns.
also, it's a paid service. free tier includes 300k requests per month, which is enough for ~1.5 devices from my experience.

pihole does not deceypt https traffic, so it cant change dom. even if it could, it can't modify stuff added by js.
also it can only block whole domains, not individual urls

pihole is not a replacement for ublock

depending on what kind of games you play.
if you play mostly offline or indie games, you won't notice any difference.
like half of online/live services games (e.g. League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege) that include anticheats are borked

yeah it stutters but i got it to playable framerate. (60-70 fps)
(performance mods are pretty much REQUIRED, get sodium and like 50 other fabric performance mods,, you'll need all of 'em)
it has a 4 core 4 thread (no hyperthreading) 2ghz amd a6 and 6 gb of ddr3 ram, out of which ~4.5 is usable
also it has a terrible hdd which I don't feel like replacing.
arch with gnome takes 2 minutes to boot, pop os with kde used to take around 5-6 minutes. (windows is painfully slow btw, around 10-30 minutes to cold boot, fast boot or hibernation is not that bad tho)

1. they're not using a conventional network
2. they still have to pay for the backend infrastructure
3. my point is that this is not a client side feature, so it can't be unlocked by some cpu vulnerability. This is a case in which a subscription service DOES make sense
