@Tervy that's pretty good
So with dns setting being a thing in android 9. Is adguard DNS server recommended for blocking ads?
at home Pihole
but yes adguard is decent if privacy is not your top 1 priority
but ads
other decent one is "alternate dns"
Is it also blocking ads?
yes
DNS66
^
It just werks
use adaway friends
Daily reminder that a DNS is no substitute for smart browsing habits
adguard dns is very much the least effort of any option but its not technically private or configurable but itll block ads
adaway requires root and dns66 requires a vpn running at all times, right?
correct
but I have root anyway
IF SOMEONE HERE IS USING __ WINDOWS FIREWALL CONTROL__ save your installer exe (5.x) or find it while you can
and the new installers (6.x) comes with extra branding and features
Windows ltsb seems to work as expected
minimal bloat
still idiotic pre-settings
and needed to be firewalled and Shutup10'd before touching internet with it
time will tell (tomorrow) what nasties live in that one once i let it touch network and see the dataflow
goddamit its bitch to install
total asked times for internet : 5 or 6 just on installation
every fucking time it needs to reboot during installation
"how about now huh ? some of that packet data ? "
if this experiment works well enough i might even turn my main gaming os to ltsb
Currently on Fedora 28
Its comfy and so far everything was just werks
no games
The packages aren't completly outdated
Lots of games once you add rpm
Just the default KDE rice sucks
shutup10 does nearly nothing when you can just set telem to 0
ootb it's fine for 90% of users and their telemetry is minimal when basic is ticked
