To be honest I skimmed just of this, but the way my phone screen resolution caused line breaks I got to see the words “sususudododo baby” and that alone made me giggle.

I haven’t really used adguard or nextdns before so I can’t compare apples to apples. I can say that Rethink is a FOSS local-VPN-based adblocker that doesn’t need root. I used to use a different VPN based one before that I forgot the name of, but because it was a VPN I couldn’t also connect to my home Wireguard VPN at the same time, so I was swapping VPNs all the time. I like it because I can be connected to my home VPN, and then if that connection fails it automatically uses the on-device DNS blocklists, which can be customized which lists to use. It can also set different DNS rules / bypass filtering on a per-app basis instead of being forced to being system wide. It’s been useful to allowlist certain domains for specific apps only to let them work.

Using RethinkDNS for on-device blocking, but also let it make a wireguard tunnel to my house so I can make use of my PiHole at home.

Thank you for making me not feel crazy for thinking that exact same thing.

Yeah yeah. Just saying it’s definitely more than the “zero support” you credit them for.

They literally say they support Ubuntu… https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/212456929-General-questions?product=gog

What about without line of sight? If I get one of these is it going to work while it’s sitting on my desk, or am I going to have to mount some antennas on the roof to actually make it usable? The maps only show like three other people in my city with one, so I’m not sure how useful this will actually be for me.
