It is far from perfect, but I wrote a quick guide on setting up an #Openbsd #router
"Building a Simple Router with OpenBSD"

Includes setting up #adblock and avoiding Strict NAT on my Xbox console (hooray for online play!)
When you haven't been exposed to advertising for a while and it's no longer normalised, it's quite jarring. Not because it's annoying or shit, rarely lacking any artistic merit, begging and pleading and lying for attention and complicity - that bit you remember.
But because the only way this crap exists at all is through force, ramming it through devices without permission or consent. An entire industry based on tracking and surveillance to target assault.
It's fucking despicable.
Tangentially related but lately #NextDNS and #Adblock on my browsers (desktop and mobile) were still having some ads go through.
I have since started using @Vivaldi and it's SO REFRESHING to have all ads and trackers turned off
📛 Youtube started to show me a "Expecting interruptions??" popup to gaslight me into disabling my adblocker.
I wasn't even affected by whatever antiadblocking shenanigans they were trying to "warn me" about.
Adblocking is working just fine, try harder.
Riprendo un flusso di pensieri avviato qualche giorno fa: tra #adblock, DNS privati, filtri, app offline e quant'altro, l'#Internet di oggi sembra diventata un campo di battaglia dove difendersi da varie entità che cercano di erodere i nostri diritti.
C'è gente che riesce in qualche modo riesce a cavarsela, con un minimo di consapevolezza, ma... L3 altr3? Chi questa consapevolezza non ce l'ha?
Tutto ciò è faticoso, a volte deprimente. Maledetto capitalismo.
