> Jio also has its own streaming service, which doesn’t count against your data caps. How does this work? AFAIK JioCinema uses Akamai for content delivery... do they not count data…

Yep, I faced this same issue when I bought an M2 Air early March. The 16GB BTO upgrade was roughly 40% more expensive compared to the discounted base 8GB model.

Replace Pihole and Unbound with AdGuard and this stack will instantly be more efficient, fast and significantly more powerful.

Can someone please explain why the site downloads 600MB+ assets every time the page is reloaded?

I agree with this summarization but I don't see an issue with carrying three separate devices (three separate batteries!).

I use DuckDNS for letting Alexa and Google Assistant access my Home Assistant devices. Not needing to click on a link to “renew” my host name every month is a huge plus. The bigges…

As long as it is via domains I am able to block, it is fine.

In India, internet providers already provide a portal to the police and other agencies with no accountability. https://entrackr.com/2022/11/exclusive-indian-isps-we-alread...

In my experience, ISPs DNS servers are slower compared to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, especially for "complex" lookups where there are as many as 6 CNAMEs in the DNS chain. Also, they ofte…

Yep, this is the reason why I'm hesitant to switch ISPs despite crappy service during peak hours. They have PNIs/local CDN hostings/prominent IX peering and good international peer…

This is a little weird for me: Using Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1: ~> curl -s --doh-url https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query https://mensura.cdn-apple.com/api/v1/gm/config | jq -r .test_en…

> quick .json representations of Reddit pages Had no idea this existed... replacing the slash at the end of the URL and appending .json will output the post in JSON. Quite nice!

On a desktop machine, sure... but on a laptop, I'd want it to enter sleep and subsequently deep sleep when I close the lid or lock it.

www.casaos.io mentions: > X-NODE Space, 4F, 800 NaXian Road, Shanghai, P.R.C Definitely something I'd trust.

This is why I quit using Spotify. I couldn’t tune my recommendations after Alexa played music for someone else in a different language.

I was using Quad9 until they had infra issues where latency skyrocketed from ~40ms to an unstable ~250ms... soon after I noticed that the routing was changed to another country wit…

> it allowed the Bharat Jodo Yatra (Join India Campaign) and understands that a robust opposition is in national interest. Last time I checked India was still a democracy.

TIL that four spaces indents it into code blocks... thanks!

This contains both parts: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:B96B9C1CD9A0332E82023FA934DDD4ACF94377DE&tr= http://tracker.trackerfix.com:80/announce&tr=udp://9.rarbg.m...

Can you explain in detail how this is supposed to work? Am I supposed to run this (Docker here) on my local server or on a remote server that the block is not affecting??

> unable to stream HD Content to my iPhone Yeah this has been the case since forever. It prioritizes instant playback vs forcing 1080p or similar. Can't speak for iPhone, but on iP…

AdGuard Home is more lightweight, no doubt; it's a single binary executable. Whereas Pihole... where do I start

It can, as a matter of fact. Source: have AdGuard Home running in my network for many years.
