• 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 / 3 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 / 4 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 Introduces M4 Chip

  Google operates in China albeit via their HK domain. They also had project DragonFly if you remember. The lesser of two evils is that one company doesn’t try to actively profile me (in order for their ads business to be better) with every piece of data it can find and forces me to share all possible data with them. Google is famously known to kill apps that are good and used by customers:... - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• How I migrated from Firebase to Supabase

  I was already starting to feel a little cornered in the whole Google ecosystem and a bit limited with stuff like backups, vendor lock in, etc. (and you always have the obvious hanging over your head) and ultimately, I think I just find the mental model of a SQL database more intuitive compared to a NoSQL database.
