I've used PiHole and have switched to Technitium. Basically there's vastly more options available. A lot of DNS records and zones that simply isn't available with PiHole.
Also much better support for more advanced protocols (DoH, DoT, ...).
But to get the best out of it you do need to use the "Advanced Blocking app", which is a sort of a plugin. And it doesn't always play nice with defaults in terms of blockint.
It's best if one uses one or another, also because of how temporary disabling works.
I drive European... But our automotive industry has already taken advantage of us during Covid and until now. Kind of hard to still look to the options.
Not to mention the whole WV debacle. Not enough people were "hung" due to that.
I hear you. Personally I never understood the appeal of costly hosting at AWS and such. It just always seemed so expensive. The only benefit it provided, imho, is when you legitimately need to scale very quickly or if you've got a really huge variance in load.
Everything else? My own servers please, and thank you for reading 😁
I believe you, but many people self host on rented hardware for various reasons. For example "proper" self hosting comes with upfront cost. But self hosting ln a VPS comes with reliability, uptime, predictability. But you're still the master of the software you host, of backups, etc.
But do you evel feel that way "obsessed" with any other game?
Because I'm kind of in the same boat. I love souls games, am by no means at all a master, but after finishing them I just don't go back, I have enough.
