Not the GP, but I got a Rocketbook from my most recent workplace when I joined. Not quite a smart pen, more like smart paper - each page is grid paper with a QR code at the bottom …

There are a lot more JS and Native developers compared to Flutter/Dart developers in the West. Plus fear-mongering around Google dropping development of Flutter.

Riverpod does a lot more than just state management - it also handles dependency injection and reactive caching. Here’s a great guide on using Riverpod: https://codewithandrea.com/…

This is exactly what the AGPL was made to combat against. But open source devs still choose more permissive licenses first - presumably to attract corporate clients to use their pr…

Because it’s written in C# and relatively new. Unbound is written in C so should consume less resources, has been around longer and has been vetted – FreeBSD and OpenBSD replaced B…

Ditto, just recently set mine up this way. Will never go back to ISP or proprietary routers.

The real eye-opener is when you start redirecting DNS 53 requests to your own DNS server and block DoT/DoQ/DoH – so many devices/apps just trying to reach out to their hardcoded DN…

9.9.9.9 from Quad9 is another great, free, pro-privacy alternative.

I do the same thing and am on 500mbps - don’t experience any issues

Hagezi blocklists are the current standard now: https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists You could go for one of the Lite blocklists for the network wide, family friendly (non-brea…

Doesn’t work for YouTube ads – they no longer load ads via DNS and instead embed them directly into the video feed. Ublock origin via the browser is the best way to block them. If …

You can block HTTPS to known DoH providers. You can set up an alias in a firewall to load the list from https://public-dns.info/nameservers-all.txt . Its a bit of a cat-and-mouse g…
