Merci @sebsauvage d'avoir partagé à propos de Pi-hole. Je ne connaissais pas ce genre de solution. Mis en place sur mon Nas et Box reconfigurée en très peu de temps. Simple, élégant et redoutablement efficace. 😍
Je pense que je ferai un don d'ici quelques jours au projet.
I had to use the internet without ad block for 5 min the other day in order to test something. How does anyone surf the web without ad blocking? I would go insane! Seriously, I'd probably just keep off the majority of sites and I'm fucking addicted to the internet. What the actual hell?

｢ The BGH (as the Federal Supreme Court is known) called for a new hearing so that the Hamburg court can provide more detail regarding which part of the website (such as bytecode or object code) is altered by ad blockers, whether this code is protected by copyright, and under what conditions the interference might be justified ｣

👀 YouTube’s new anti-adblock measures
｢ One thing that people have ran into is “fake buffering”, where videos will take a while to load due to a lot of buffering, but only at the very start of the video (there’s no mid-video fake buffering). As I’ll explain, the fake buffering is 80% of the length of the ads you would’ve seen, so even with fake buffering you’re still saving time using an adblocker ｣
