I was going to do this, but you can usually just change the DNS and add a hosts file to your router assuming it can run firmware that allows it (like tomato or ddwrt). It seemed pointless to try since the charts work for http and everything is https now. I didn't setup specs for traffic but the setup I use is much lighter. Just wanted to suggest this for anyone who might want to block on their home network. I also use it as a NAS with USB3.0 to SATA with An SSD.

You can set up DNS over https with pi-hole btw, I did that for mine. It's definitely not the only way to achieve this kind of ad blocking but if you're like me and have several old raspberry pi's laying around from abandoned projects then it's a nice way to put one to good use.

Won't matter if your main computer does the decoding, and for the price of one good computer that can stream to all devices including crappy ones versus all good ones and a cheap NAS to host, which would you choose?

Guess the question then becomes, do you need transcoding on the device streaming?

What advantage does an NUC have over let's say your old laptop? They seem like they're the same price as laptops with laptop specs but are missing most critical components and are a bit smaller.

My last 'old laptop as a server' dying is actually what prompted me to buy the NUC. It was a chromebook pixel long out of warranty. Until it bit the dust it suited my needs. Being a bit smaller is a nice bonus, it might be silly but I think the NUC is kind of cute.

Seems rather expensive, didn't you have another laptop laying around? I have so many that I don't think I'll ever see the point to them, especially with thinkpads for cheap or free

The laptop I had before the last was an Asus Eeepc that developed a dodgy AC adaptor port. I still have it and it could be made to work, but it was never a very good computer in the first place. It runs loud and hot for what it is. Before that, and the oldest computer I still have in my closet, is my T60p thinkpad. I'd need to buy a replacement fan before using that one again, and I'm not sure it would be worth the hassle to resurrect (again.) If I were inclined to fix up an old thinkpad I think I'd rather get a second-hand X-series since they're not nearly so huge.

Are you suggesting that in Christianity they don't have sex? Sex is important in all religions, or their populations would die.

Of course they do. They'd just rather they didn't and no one else did either, thanks to their god's hangups as codified by a Roman with some pretty fierce hangups of his own. Hence all the interest in cloning and brain uploading and so forth.

They sure do! (Only if the names are female.)

I Pay $13 a month for 2GB and unlimited talk and text. Most phones have 2 Sims and can use esim. Truphone is much better internationally. https://www.truphone.com/us/consumer/sim/ It has free incoming calls and you only pay for outgoing.

This sounds good to me, is that offer US customers only?

The first one? Yes. The second is not. You can get even cheaper deals. I had a free year from Sprint a year ago with unlimited data.

What if they don't like the taste of apes? What sort of mammals do they like?

Though the diet varies in different populations, many consume sea lions and other whales.

So non land mammals? I wasn't sure if they like land animals much. They might just dislike apes

But not one obese person was known to be killed?

Sure, research and development in bell labs was pretty good. Doubt we'd get all that stuff from random people without exotic equipment and cash. Of course they made risks of their own money, not other people's money

You don't think meat packing is centralized? How you you think factories do their work? Where do you think subsidies come from? What does centralized mean?

Why would I want a man in Washington to guide Montana in the form of government though?
