  • Does yours actually block YouTube ads? I followed instructions and set my pi-hole up a few years ago and it works pretty well on most things but does not block YouTube ads. I was told this was because YouTube hosts the ads on the same IP address as the videos and therefore the pi-hole can’t tell the difference? However, I’ve been using smart tube on my Nvidia shield tv box and that blocks the ads. Do I just need to update my block list on the pi-hole?


  • Why do I feel more sympathy for the shooter then? Let me explain myself. I don’t condone his actions, but here’s the thing… You have no idea what a stranger is going through in their life. No idea what trauma lies in their past. Going up to strangers and trying to provoke them could yield wildly different responses from person to person, and in the world we live in that could easily involve anger. Some people are barely holding it together and all they need is a jarring incident like this to make them snap. The shooter didn’t provoke this situation. Yes he reacted poorly, but the entire thing would have been avoided if the brain dead YouTuber wasn’t going around trying to elicit a response for clicks.














  • I’ve got three cats. All males. I like cats because they are fairly low maintenance with a high cuddle return. Especially with an auto feeder. All I have to do is scoop the litter box once a day and I get to pet them when they feel like coming and sitting with me. Watching them interact with each other is entertaining and occasionally will melt your heart with how sweet they are to each other. Here’s a pic of them sitting with me while I play video games.




  • I’m in the same boat as you with the Arlo cameras. I’ve got the Pro (4030) cameras. I read an article that said they kinda walked that decision back. They are going to continue the 7 day free cloud storage, so after the EOL date, which was July 1st, they’ll continue to offer security updates for a year, but after that our cameras will still work but not receive updates. I’ll definitely be looking for other options, but at least they’ll still work. If anyone knows a good kit that lets you host the videos yourself I’d be interested in hearing about it.
