the pihole is a program you put on the computer you wasted $35 on getting because you thought it would be a good idea to buy something to blink an led, because you were too stupid to get a functional router or use a hosts file. it is reccomended solely between similar incompetent nerds.

do you really think dns blackholing is something that can be trivially accomplished by anyone manually editing their hosts file?

i still find it a bit amusing facebook's ad buying interface warns about using an ad-blocker if one is detected.

if you have an ad-blocker running it will often gently caress up the preview, which is a source of no small number of support issues
