You always must sneeze into your chelidon / reverse elbow so the crowd one I disagree. The other two you got me there.

>All the while, fiercer heat waves will require more energy-hungry air conditioning to keep people healthy. (Though ideally, everyone would get a heat pump instead.)

Isn't an AC already a heat pump?

I looked at Pi-hole recently but went with AdGuard Home. Nicer UI and nicer everything by all appearances. There's also a surprising amount of customization for something this slick, like being able to defer to my internal DNS for local private domain queries, etc.

I'm not entirely sure why AdGuard is giving this away, and maybe I should look into that, but seemed like a relatively low-risk decision to go with this for now. And I can't say enough about how much more pleasant using things like the NYTimes app has been without the obnoxious ads.

Does AdGuard support regex matching?

SD card corruption that just slowly started degrading the results, twice.

For the price of a single Pi, I can get NextDNS ad protection for _all_ my devices for multiple years. No matter where they are.

Just run it in a container. No need to use an actual Pi.

That's amazing. Truly. I'm assuming you're on iPhone. Anyone know if there is a way to do this in Android?

There is, we've had nuclear power for decades.
throwaway742 · 2 years ago
It really sounds like a perfect use of nuclear power. If you match the NPP with the carbon capture plant you have a nice consistent load.

I just closed another post on HN because the top thread descended into some bullshit semantics pissing contest so I come here and see the same.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed an increase in arguing over the meaning of words on HN lately?

It's unironically one of the things I like about this site.

I also enjoy spending time on shady websites with scams ads and virus. That will teach Netflix and Apple.

All my favorite shows download automatically to my server. I can stream them to any of my devices. There are no ads or viruses.

This infographic is a bit out of date, but you get the idea https://i.imgur.com/IrxoHI3.png

It's overall a vastly superior experience.

Yes. But you cannot see replies and authors page. Use https://nitter.net/ for that.

Thank you. I didn't know nitter was working again.
