NextDNS and similar services basically host the pi-hole on your behalf. Pi-hole setup involves installing packages on a device that will handle your ad content filtering and related network configuration; NextDNS involves getting a URL to copy-paste into your phone, computer, or network's DNS configuration settings. The latter is far less labor-intensive. The trade-off is that you have less control over how things get blocked. Pi-hole is more of a local solution than NextDNS, but if you don't want to fuss with the tech and just want to start blocking more ads, go with NextDNS (or similar).

Here is an article that covers info about how to set this up on an Android phone and several private DNS provider options: https://www.theupdatebox.com/how-to-enable-private-dns-on-android/

If your soup or sauce sparks a little bit next time, you'll know, lol.

I have been using Calyx for the past few months, which is a 1 year pre-paid connection through the T-Mobile network for $750 the first year. No data caps, have used it in the Southwest, South Central, and Midwest parts of the country with fairly good results. I measure up/down occasionally and get anywhere from 30Mbps - 250 Mbps up / 1 - 25 Mbps down. Lots of variety in the signal based on location and time of day, which is my main complaint, but it should be expected with a mobile data connection. Not fancy, but I go through a lot of data at my job and generally don't have much problems streaming video.

To be honest, I will probably try to switch over to a fiber connection when my year is up because I'm not longer working from the road, but it really hasn't been the worst solution by far.

And that's exactly how I've found myself justifying having 3 different pedals that do delay/reverb in some way (I have 7 pedals on my board in total, lol). But I do find trying out new effects or instruments leads me to write something I wouldn't have otherwise written on an acoustic guitar. "More reverb!"

Nice! Hadn't heard that one before but the demos sound great.

But also, hopefully you have some sick new effects on hand. Pick up anything interesting?

Wow, surprised that I hadn't heard of THIS vulnerability that previously existed: https://electrek.co/2020/08/27/tesla-hack-control-over-entire-fleet/

Pretty wild stuff, and that was 6 years ago!

True, I sold my stash for a great fortune near the end of the game. It wasn't particularly worthwhile to have stockpiled as much as I did (though it was still fun, I really like crafting games).

What is your most memorable childhood event and how has that impacted you today?
