• Ask HN: For what purposes do you use a Raspberry Pi?

  Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives https://pi-hole.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS. Note: This... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• YouTube Says It Has More Than 100M Premium and Music Subscribers

  Can the piHole help us eliminate bandwidth wasting ads on TV's? https://pi-hole.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV

  It definitely IS an option, but at the network level. https://pi-hole.net/ It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• In 2024, please switch to Firefox

  I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background. Adguard [1] is a decent free option. I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

• Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says

  AltStore (https://altstore.io/) is available, but only has two apps last time I checked. - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• A first look at Europe's alternative iPhone app stores

  AltServer from the AltStore folks allows you to automate the renewal of sideloaded apps. It’s not perfect, but it’s an excellent workaround. http://altstore.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• More options for apps distributed in the European Union

  That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users. (Which would be not so ridiculous as it sounds, there is plenty of software you cannot buy directly but only through a reseller. Epic could become a pure b2b shop on paper and sell Fortnite clients to regional distributors, or something like that.) Some time ago somebody made an alternative App Store for... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Is it possible to build React Native for iOS without a Mac?

  See: https://altstore.io/ 2 apps, re-sign weekly maximum. 3 if you do it without AltStore. Unlimited with a $99/yr developer account. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Do I need to get out the soldering-iron again? (2018)

  I mean, that's fine. My argument about adblockers applies to other software too: the Apple ecosystem has some of the basics (like sync, browsers, etc) figured out for me so that I don't need to fiddle with it. While I'd like to use Firefox, I don't need to, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting Safari instead are worth it for my specific situation. Forcing myself into a different... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
