Any good guides you know of to set that up?

My DNS is from controld.com.

What you do is you log into your router and on the local area network page there's generally a section to change the DNS settings of your router and you just put in the IP addresses that control D gives you.

You can also set it up on iOS and Android so that you are also protected when you leave your home network and are on the go on your cellular network.

As I said, along with Control-D, I also use U-Block Origin to catch anything that it might miss.

The other thing to do is use as many open source applications as you can possibly get away with.

They ad a random to showing you ads

hhwat

Reminds me of the bill hicks quote on advertising.

Billboard Liberation Front - Wikipedia

The sentiment is influenced by many.

Me and Mullvad would like to send them a nice little GET FUCKED.

The ad industry is an abusive ex that complains when you defend yourself.

For a few years, even the FBI officially recommended that everyone should use an adblocker. They recently removed that PSA from their website, I believe with the new administration:

The feds say cybercriminals are buying online ads to impersonate brands with the aim of stealing or extorting money from victims.

Yeah no, I have seen multiple businesses closing down due to poor marketing promotion/budget.

And then we all complain that we didn't know about a certain product/service because they didn't market it good enough (we have seen it a lot of times with movies for example, then they turn into obscure classics with the pass of time, but not really profitable), also some games that didn't really made themselves known while in critical selling weeks?

Who is gonna be the brave soul to release a game when GTA VI appears? That would be marketing suicide, no matter how good your game is.

My kid hasn't ever seen an ad on any streaming service or any web page, ever. And I block ads via DNS. We don't have any kind of live TV service or cable so they literally have just never seen any ads, ever.

Sometimes if we're out at a restaurant, some TV is playing live content and an ad runs. My kid is shocked like it's the first time he ever ate sugar.

Glad I can keep that toxic trash out of my house and out of his life.

gasp you mean to tell me you DON'T like 20 million videos playing over the top of the recipe that you're trying to read while trying not to burn dinner? unbelievable.

smh these motherfuckers are so brazen

They're not ex. They're serial rapist.

I run uBlock Origin for the browsers, and Pi-Hole for the network. Plus a wireguard VPN server that my phone connects to when I’m not on the home wifi for ad-blocking on the go.

Whatever number it is, it ain't big enough yet.

More power!

Was so proud when my kid stated that ”If the thing is good enough, it does not need advertising. Only poor stuff needs that.”

Pi-hole. You’ll want to run two, because machines will use both a primary and a secondary server for their DNS requests. If you don’t want to buy a pair of raspberry pi’s, you can run it in Docker, which basically keeps it isolated to its own tiny virtual machine. So you’d just need to spin up a pair of docker containers to run the pair of pi-holes. If you’re using Docker, they’ll need a pair of volumes too, or else they’ll lose all of their data every time they reboot.

You’ll want this to be on a machine that is running 24/7, because any time it shuts down, your internet will essentially stop working. That’s why lots of people end up just throwing a few raspberry pis in a closet and forgetting about them.

Once it’s installed, you’ll need to load it with block lists. The default ones are pretty basic. I’d just google something like “pihole blocklists” and figure it out from there. Each list will be a URL, which allows the pihole to pull updates, (which you can tell it to do via the built-in web UI).

Psychology has revealed that the ability to direct attention to and process stimulus is limited, and that it's more limited in the most vulnerable members of society, including those with autism and those with too much stress.

Stimulus engineered to capture attention must therefore be treated by the law as a form of violence.

I actually don't mind ad but only if it is general ad, not targeted ones. Hence, why I hate web ads. I appreciate advertisements in more public spaces like radio and posters.
