    …until your family complains that their favorite site has stopped working.

    Pi-Hole these days allows you to create Groups so you can set certain devices to fewer or less restrictive blocklists or just leave their connection untouched entirely. Groups is basically how you solve the problem of it breaking something for someone else.

        I might have to try that. I had pi hole set up but my gf couldn’t use facebook so I was politely asked to remove it

        Haha. Same with mine. She was mad that she was not seeing ads everywhere as she liked to interact with them and buy stuff.

          God regular people are so fucking weird haha. I just can’t wrap my mind around wanting to click on ads.

          Sometimes I wonder if working in local television news for 10 years and being subjected to ads basically constantly broke something in me.

            Had a family member complaining that they couldn’t access “the internet” and found that they only clicked ads on google searches…
