Do you like, live in LA? I’m six miles from one of the fires and I can tell you now that putting up a bunch of dense housing where the fire was will totally not prevent fires in the future. The Santa Ana winds will continue and they’ll do so a lot more strongly if we don’t actually tackle climate change.
Probably the housing stock there shouldn’t have been built there in the first place, but they weren’t aware decades ago that we would have an event like this but now we do.
Uh… okay? It doesn’t say “now go off and support him” somewhere does it?
Huh? A big part of the problem was that there was housing so close to steep hillsides in the first place, I don’t think building more dense housing would be wise.
That feels like the opposite of deleting your account or blocking them
It sure does, but I don’t log my family and friends’ queries so I’ll probably MITM myself using a travel router.
Good point, I’ll be on the lookout for that.
I’m blocking primarily with my self-hosted, non-logging DNS server (Unbound).
I might just use my travel router to MITM myself while Tailscale is disabled on the iPhone to glean more information that way.
I agree. Most of my duplicates came from the raw disc files. I too dump some content to MKV (mainly TV episodes) but those files likely have much less duplication, though I do recall some of the duplicates coming from The Office in MKV.
(I do wonder if those The Office duplicates were something like the opening title, or scenes from the episode showing clips from previous episodes because it seems highly unlikely that the raw video streams were similar.)
You need to block all their domains/IP ranges too otherwise they’re still profiting from profiling you across apps and websites.
Because I’m not making the connection between this article and supporting Mark Zuckerberg.
That’s essentially what I do. Apps track like crazy too so browser-only solutions aren’t my speed. I don’t use PiHole but I have a script that smashes together a bunch of blocklists and exports them to Unbound.
They’re all over GitHub, you can usually just search the web for “X domains” or “X block DNS” (keep it vague because the language always differs) and you’ll usually end up on someone’s GitHub repository.
One excellent list I consider the base of my strict blocking is HaGeZi Ultimate but of course that blocks much more than just Meta.
Just the usual douchebags, got it
