I've been inspired to tweak my home network - I finally got all of my crappy
devices to get off of WPA2-PSK TKIP and onto AES, and set up a Raspberry Pi
with Pi-hole directly connected to my router.

Imagine my surprise when after one day, it's blocking 15.1% of all network
traffic.

I've been watching a Youtube channel called NetworkChuck, it's been
entertaining. I'm setting up k3s on a Ubuntu Linux VM I have running in
Proxmox, going to start playing with containers. He's got a $100 free
services offer on Linode, I might need to go check them out.

.... Listen in total darkness, very quietly

mine usually hovers around the 30% mark for blocked traffic. But then I do
silly things like look up local news which is 99% ads, thank god I got outbrain
and its ilk blocked, local news is actually readable now!

Been using https://nextdns.io/ which is basically cloud pihole, but
pretty well curated. Been on the free tier for about a year and a half
without issue.

Though I've been planning to configure pihole and wireguard for my own
use soon enough.

wow, never knew about that one. If I ever get to leave the house again I'll
have a look at using that on my phone
