Some ad agencies starting asking hosters to add a CNAME record to one of their domains. Let's say I have your own blog running on dastx.me, and I wanted some ads from adgiant.com. As an adblocker you've added `* .adgiant.com` to your blacklist and I'm an asshole and try to circumvent such adblocking measure. Them young millennials and their tech. Stealing me out of my money! So I go to adgiant.com and ask them if the…

cdn.goodsite.com -> tracker.badsite.com cdn used to mean - serve the same static content all over the world and speed things up. cdn now means - serve up different content to every single person and track them. take a look at stack overflow and it's cdn.

No additional hardware required, you can use it to provide some protection to your family without having to worry about remote access to the Pi-Hole to configure things, works for your devices on the go, cheaper than running pi-hole in the cloud yourself unless.

I set up a pihole and literally forgot about it. Like I was cleaning out a closet on moving day and found it plugged in. Took a moment to even realise what it was doing there.
