In the UK, John Smiths is a fucking awful beer. There are so many independent breweries that there are many good beers to choose from. John Smiths is literally the bottom of the list!

I ran PiHole for years. It started as a way to block ads but then also a way to block games and YouTube for my kids so they get a break. I had to manually control this though. I switched to NextDNS last year because this can be done on a schedule and they can't get around it such as swapping to mobile data on their phones.

In the house though I run AdGuard because there's no way differentiate traffic for each of my kids NextDNS profiles. With AdGuard it can proxy DNS requests to take traffic from the TV in their bedroom and convert it to DNS over TLS so the traffic hits the correct profile. I don't use AdGuard for anything else. It does not filter anything. It's purely to make sure traffic hits the correct NextDNS profile.

Vapes have pretty much taken over here in the UK. The vast majority of smokers are the older generation.

I've been to Spain twice in the past year and each time amazed at how many smokers there are still. These were the Spanish and Germans.

My kids plays Roblox, it doesn't run as well as it does bare metal

I ran Linux in VirtualBox for years but it's just not the same as running from bare metal. The step to bare metal is the key to actually starting to make the move to Linux for me

Get a second drive and install Linux on it. You can then flick between the two on boot. I've done this and now booting into Arch more than Windows. I'll still boot into Windows for reasons but Arch is my main OS now.

Ugh. I filled my car last week and it cost me £70 ($87). That car wasn't even empty to begin with. This is a typical European family car, not some huge truck. Petrol prices in the US are too cheap for electric to compete with.

Shamelessly stolen by Kanye West on his Blame Game track
