I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home's internet.

He just sent me this, and now he's ready to #degoogle ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.

I agree it's definitely fun to see how far we can push it as consumers.

Long term. I do think the more sustainable solution is for people to run their own "Personal Clouds".

It's the 2nd "PC" revolution ๐Ÿ™‚

I've been degoogled for so long that I can't imagine ever going back to anything other than self-hosting. Sure, starting is not easy, buy once I got used to it, I could not be happier.
