I couldn’t recommend Pi-Hole more. It’s great for blocking access to TikTok as well as ad and telemetry networks 😅. Blocking TikTok is much harder than you’d expect as they use so many domains.

V.True. It’s a bit hard to inconspicuously walk down a street with a 65 inch TV at 2am too.

Got burgled at my old place but instead of taking the treasure trove of console games on my shelves, they took all the quid coins out of a change jar 🤷‍♂️

You’ve been burgled more than once?

Yeah, it’s a conundrum. Self-hosting is untenable unless you’re very technically minded. Even then, it seems like a real hassle and easier to let big brother spy on your every move 😭😂

open source software is so important. It’s a shame there isn’t a solid, decentralised competitor to YT with traction and 1-click install alternatives for IoT.

It’s great they’ve added that. Thanks for the tip. Enabled 👏

Nuke Windows and run on bare metal then 😊

Can you switch to WSL? It might be more stable than Virtual Box!

Sad to hear. Historically, I exclusively bought Asus boards for new builds + still have a couple here going strong for over a decade. The quality must have slipped!

Happy Birthday chap. 25 already! 👀🎁
