That tends to be how things develop when you're talking about systems. There's not a cackling Bad Guy engineering these things, but a system of socioeconomic carrots and sticks that, right now, favor exploitation. Schools and education happen within that incentive structure so its natural that they would take on it's characteristics.

Blyesky doesn't federate with ActivityPub/Mastodon or anything else at the moment. They say federation is coming, but its a different protocol than the Fediverse.

Often, if an rss link isn't on the page, there's still a feed available. /rss and /feed are the most common places to find it.

I'd be interested in utilization data before and after that change. Anecdotally, I use Signal much less after SMS was removed. With one app, I could opportunistically use Signal, when the other person had it, and send an SMS otherwise. Now I have to decide what kind of message to send before opening an app and learning my options. Most of those quick messages have moved back to SMS for me.

I made that move and had no issues. You can copy/paste your way through DNS setup and the rest is just configuring your proton account how you want.

You'll want to be familiar with proton and some of the tradeoffs in its privacy model, but it's most likely more feature-full than a hosting provider. Dreamhost, for one, is quite basic.

Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don't have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.

Well, I'm back and can confirm the sneaky DNS resolver. I have two roku devices and they both were making requests to 8.8.8.8.

Thanks for this post! TIL.

Interesting. I set an adblocking dns via DHCP and, as far as I know, the Roku respects it. Ads are blocked and I can see it failing to delivery telemetry in my dns logs (most persistent thing on the network).

I set a rule to catch outside dns to see if anything, the roku included, has been misbehaving.

Carson’s political beliefs and work with drug policy reform have made him a target for conspiracies and vitriol online. Popular pundits like Andy Ngo, Matt Walsh, and Nick Fuentes have all brought up Carson’s death, blaming it on “leftism,” anti-cop beliefs, and soft-on-crime sentiments. “The Ryan Carson story shows how leftism short circuits your brain and interferes with your ability to make common sense, instinctive judgment calls,” Walsh wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

DNS blocking (Pihole, adaware, nextdns...) Can take care of those ads on dedicated streaming boxes.
