300K is nothing but a taste, for normal usage. I’ve been using NextDNS on my home network for a few years. I average 1.2 million queries/month. And that’s with cache boost (forced minimum TTL) enabled.
$20/year is worth every penny. The amount of time you save in blocking all the ads and surveillance marketing services is worth 10x that.
Fro recurring ones, the surgery is followed up with an acid treatment that kills part of the nail bed, so the nail stops growing so wide. I have had it done on both big toes, on both sides. Haven’t had any issues in over 15 years.
Signal is E2EE. While it does use notifications, there is no meaningful unencrypted content in them. The content of the notification you see is decrypted on-device.
The “record” is a SMS verification code. All that will tell the government is that you registered for Signal, nothing else.
Signal doesn’t use SMS at all, once you have enrolled. The phone number is used to validate people and exclude bots, during registration. As others have noted, you can hide your number from other users, as well.
They can “request” it all day long. Signal doesn’t store them beyond the time needed to deliver to the end user device, and while (temporarily) stored, it’s encrypted in a way Signal’s service cannot read.
Google’s default implementation IS proprietary, so while the spec isn’t, the mass-adopted deployment is. Google is in the middle, unless you use a different app (if that’s even possible, I don’t know as I don’t Android).
How would they find that info from the outside, though? Or are you saying they are hooked into Amazon’s internal data harvesting ecosystem?
What are they monitoring on Amazon, the fake reviews?
Try to only tackle one project at a time. It gets exponentially more stressful trying to juggle a bunch of incomplete projects. Also, you’ll never be “done”. That’s not the point. The point is shelter and comfort.
If you’re East Coast, I think you’ve just given up too early. Plenty of pests on the West Coast, too. There are also plenty of organic ways to keep them in check. Will you have perfect harvest? Never, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have anything at all.
Some do. Grass just got into the pop culture as the “proper” look for a residential property. But having fruit trees is amazing, especially in spring when they are all in bloom with flowers.
You can set up NextDNS on the router to cover every device on the network. My family is all over the country, so the app was easier for my use case.
If you want cheap and easy, something like NextDNS. Otherwise, your tentative plan works just as well. My family liked NextDNS because all I had to do was have them install an app, enter my code (for the profile I configure for them), and set it to on. The rest was magic, to them.
Seconded on NextDNS. It’s like $20/year for the “pro” version (no monthly limits) and I honestly cannot recall the last time I saw an ad on any device I control. The sole exception is my Apple TV, where one of the apps I use has ads injected into the video, so, no way to block those.
If advertisers truly cared about serving the customers they claim to care so much about, the ad networks would have better standards and more safeguards to prevent malware. I’d still block them, I just wouldn’t feel the same level of pride in blocking them for both annoyance and safety factors.
Yes but the difference is they were opting their readers in. Now Google is hijacking content without consent if the site owner.
Doing anything on Facebook is the opposite of private.
I don’t think I did. I just assumed it would be impossible to detect the home network automatically once WiFi was automatically switched off. Unless off isn’t actually off. Or the “auto on” part was location based.
How does it detect your home wifi if it has turned off wifi? I don’t know Android, but the logic there seems odd. Are you using location services to drive it?
If you are getting something for free, you are generally the product, not the consumer.
