Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I’m up to my tits in Linux and privacy guides

omg I'm seriously loling rn 😆 there's so much fucking linux on this site. ive been using linux for ~14 years (exclusively for 2), and i have no idea what most linux posts are going on about, nor do i know anyone with a linux pc in my real life. us on lemmy have somehow managed to find each other.

i give it a few months until i have my own instance, a pi hole (whatever tf that is), and completely blocked google from tracking me in any way.

I still love seeing them despite lying outside my interests. Seeing someone’s passion project or troubleshooting session from the outside is interesting, if only thanks to their enthusiasm inspiring novel approaches and clever workarounds.

yeah, it's engaging and entertaining. i spent half an hour yesterday going through a thread where OP argued for the use of linux in business settings and the comments were reaming OP for his arguments. i was like, "jeez. dont make a mistake on this site. people will let you have it." OP should wait a few weeks, make an alternate account, and argue for the use of Win over linux in business settings to get the other end covered. 😆

Network-wide ad blocking

You set it up to be your local DNS server and it will support all devices on your network.

I like a good project. Pi-Hole actually frustrated me with how easy and straightforward it was to set up. Maybe like- ten minutes total. You won't regret it.

Pi-hole isn't a complicated tech thing!

It's just a raspberry pi with a piece of software that you attach to your router and set up block lists that...

Well shit, maybe it is.
