Just noticed my ninja account is working again!

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.

They are threatening to sue her for lying and defamation? Wtf? People saw the kiss and everything I've read about the situation sounds like all she did was say that she never consented to it. SFA can get fucked.

This community has no posts besides a month old call for moderators, and absolutely no description in the sidebar. What's the point of posting it here if you're not even going to say what it's supposed to be about?

Honestly, I have no idea. I only ever really use twitch to watch Kitboga, and the vibe there is usually pretty chill so I've never thought about how streamers have to deal with harassment.

The article mentions that but I'm guessing you can't comment without logging in so it will cut down on harassment?

This comment has big Dwight Shrute vibes. What is the best bear?

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.

After work I think I'll order some food, maybe pizza and wings, and then hopefully get a round of Mario party in with some friends. I also need to catch up with the most recent episodes of Foundation.

Somebody showed grandpa how to use Lemmy? But maybe they forgot to explain how federation works? My view is that if it federates with Lemmy then it's part of Lemmy. I think most would agree with that. Why the gate keeping?
