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’ve always been curious if their compute could “simply” be redirected to another devices output.

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.

Nah, performance diff is there, for sure. It depends on your use case.

I’ve also got both, a 1 TB SSD and 512 MB uSD.

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.

Self hosting doesn’t necessarily imply you need your own hardware.

Only if cognitive capabilities follow the same trajectory…

A reminder to check on what’s going on with Postgres.

Peace…
