I’m not saying it’ll be any more secure/private, as like I said I don’t know the technical details behind it. But that is the explanation for why they’re using all of their own chips for it.

I don’t know all the technical details of how this works, but I read that they’re planning to use their “Secure Enclave” functionality, which is hardware based.

It says on their main page… it’s basically self hosted GitHub.

+1 for AdGuard

Please no.

I just got a new all AMD laptop to replace my Nvidia laptop for this same reason.

Have you tried The Universim?

Pokémon Red/Blue, Stardew Valley, and then Borderlands games. Honorable mentions: The Witcher games, Fallout series, some of the Assassins Creed games, and Baldur’s Gate 3.

I haven’t used Pi-Hole in a long time to know that, but I don’t seem to have any issue with them using AdGuard Home.

It’s not something the average person can or will do, but if you’re so inclined you can run Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home and have all your iOS devices go through it.

I even set up a VPN for when I’m away from home that I can connect to and get routed through my home internet connection which gives me ad blocking on the go.

Or if you want a simpler answer, look into using the AdGuard app on your iOS device.

There shouldn’t be any reason you can’t change the DNS setting on your devices though, right? You’re not required to use your router for DNS.

I have a Synology NAS that holds all my important data. Then it does nightly backups to Synology C2.

I’m not sure I would say that Nvidia works “great”. I’ve had numerous issues over the years trying to get my laptop with an Nvidia card set up and working just right. I’d say it’s more like Nvidia “can” work in Linux.

I just bought a new laptop with AMD graphics, and so far the difference is night and day. It just works.

I’ve been pretty happy with Mlem lately.

Hard to say which is used more by my wife and I between:

“Huh, learn something dumb every day!”

“Shut up baby, I know it!”

That sound Amy makes when she doesn’t answer yes or no and just goes “Guuhh!”

“Eww, look at him go! He don’t care!”
