The new testament stories were written well over a hundred years after. That would be like someone today writing an account of the civil war based solely on stories.

Crap I knew there was something I was supposed to do!

So that’s what people think crypto is like.

They recently changed the formula -_-

I’m chaotic good in my heart but lawful good because one needs a record of their work come review season.

Christianity and capitalism. If it doesn’t make you feel guilty the Christians don’t like it and if you can provide it to yourself for free the capitalists don’t like it.

Wow, ouch! That is my nightmare!

Thankfully, mine was not nearly as bad. We just bought the house a few months ago and a bad repair to a reservoir attached faucet led to my yard being completely flooded. Luckily a neighbor alerted us to the issue and we were able to circumvent the water before it got into our foundation.

I believe Pihole can be run from a docker container so if you have any hardware lying around that will do. The hardware requirements are extremely light, I believe the minimum RAM requirement is like 512 MB so any one of those should do. Personally, mine is running on a 4 with 8 Gigs of RAM and I have literally never experienced a single issue other than needing to power cycle it once or twice a year.

I have some bad news for you, Toot :(

Eh I don’t feel like giving bad news, just please see my response to this question and extrapolate.

Extra things you can do:

Firefox browser has built in protection against tracking and you can use container tabs to isolate each site you go to further.

Ublock Origin browser extension will increase that protection. Make sure it is Ublock Origin and not any of the clones and lookalikes.

DNS level protection. I use what’s called a Pi Hole, a raspberry Pi on my network acting as a home DNS server.

Here are my top blocked URLS for the month of May. I utilize all the above protections and as you can see the Pi Hole is still doing the majority of the heavy lifting. And it’s a constant game of whack-a-mole as they change a single digit to bypass the blocks in place.

123 THOUSAND requests from Roku, all blocked without a single detriment to our media watching experience. No one in my household even uses Netflix. It’s honestly sickening. People love to talk about how much energy crypto uses, but no one questions this at all.

Digital privacy.

It was very recently revealed in unsealed court documents from I believe 2013 that the Facebook app pushed a certificate to mobile devices that funneled all of everyone’s decrypted traffic through their servers. That means every webpage visited, every file sent and received, every word typed passed through and was stored on a computer at Facebook HQ. One engineer was quoted as saying that Zuckerberg had a particular interest in looking at people’s Snapchats. It was also revealed that Facebook had a data exchange partnership with Netflix where Netflix had open ended access to user’s private messages.

Now you don’t have to be a Snapchat or Facebook user to see how wrong and downright creepy that is, but if you bring it up with the average person you can see their eyes immediately glaze over. It’s hard to blame them, it feels like a hopeless situation and it’s much more convenient to pretend it’s not happening. People have been completely indoctrinated into abandoning their right to privacy. It’s a real shame because if we were paid as individuals what our data is apparently worth I’m sure that perspective would quickly change.

One is a political party and one is a group of religious extremists?
