>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

What's EE Australia's situation like with snakes and spiders? Obviously Real Australia has a lot of venomous animals that get their deadliness exaggerated, but I was wondering if EE Australia sticks to the cartoonish everything-here-will-kill-you with that, or if it's closer to real Australia than to the memes for that one specific thing, like "oh, we haven't had a confirmed spider bite death since the 70s and our most venomous snake hasn't killed anyone since we developed an antivenom. now, the dinosaurs," (I've brought this up in conversation before, and there was... lively debate over which option was funnier)

You would be lucky to be fighting something as mundane as a poisonous snake or spider in Epithet Australia. They have lightning storms made of dinosaurs down there.

woe brainrot mashup the 3st be upon ye

I hit play and then answer and then hit play on the audio thing in the answer tab thing. This song is even better with multiple overlayed, this has clear audio flow to it and it's genuinely pleasant for my ears on top of just having audio sources that cum. I fucking love having brainrot beamed into my head like I'm downloading a file into my prefrontal cortex.

EXACTLY. The appeal of eating the meat is that a thing died for it. Something that occupied space in the world, that existed in some kind of ecosystem that it thrived within enough to grow to the size where eating it is worth doing, was killed, carving away the space it took to make room for the one eating it.

It's a painting of Overwatch 1, Hybrid map Hollywood first point <5% away from being capped by the enemy team. Character is Junkrat, default weapon skin(Not gold or jade), Firework skin from Lunar New Year. Character is on fire, with all hud elements from OW1 but the fact Junkrat has no meter above ability 1 to show how many he has means he only has 1 charge of that ability, meaning this has to be of OW1, pre-august 29th 2017, as that was the glorious day on which Junkrat received his 2nd concussion mine.
