Sounds like that’s the way I’ll have to go. Unfortunate, I hate increased layers of complexity, but I think that’s the move.

Ooo a pihole! That’s on the list.

That might be what I’ll have to do.

That sounds ideal, but I don’t currently have the resources to set up a home network. :⁠-⁠\

Right, it’s like the commentor above asking why I would use a private dns. Check the logs. I posted a screenshot above. A private dns is a great tool.

A mvno is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, thus MVNO. They don’t own the network, they lease it.

I use a private dns for privacy. I don’t like my data and metrics being shared without my consent. It also blocks ads. Win win

edit: they had some sort of billing issue with me where my bill was consistently 40-50+ bucks over what it should be. So it would be correct one month then the next it would be like 200 bucks and back and forth. When I called, the garbage support had zero clue, and now that I have cancelled, they say they owe me 40 bucks. When I went to pay my bill, it was always 2 payments. Why? I called, again no clue. They did away with Google pass, well you want to know what they also did away with? The insurance on my phone and didn’t tell me. So with i needed it, I was not insured. Cool. Hard pass for me.

Edit: here’s an example of why a private dns is useful:

I think they provide tools to do this. You can do google takeout, then set your privacy settings to delete after X amount of time. We can hold good faith that they do so? Other than that, i guess you can contact them?

man watch

Nice command! Thanks!

AHHHH “Has ptsd flashbacks from having to use Cygwin on a mixed build environment for a popular MMO that’s about some kind of war up in the stars…” lol NOT THE CYGDRIVE lol jk but it did take me back ~5 years.

Can confirm. Worked at BioWare for ten years. They did a presentation at some big release event and they had the pc off stage with a pan of ice and a fan directly blowing on the open pc. Mmmhm it totally won’t melt your pc! They eventually fixed it, but video game announcement trailers are total smoke and mirrors typically.

So when I was in the interview, you know, typically you answer questions, right? I mean there’s some back and forth, but typically you’re on the end of the stick.

It was Zello. They wanted someone to continue manual deployment. Are you fucking kidding me? Read the reviews. They are all consistent with a good product and an outdated infrastructure team.

Best of luck.

edit: grammar

Reminds me of an interview i was in. I was like, this isn’t even in my job description… 7 interviews later. Come to find out, they were HAND DEPLOYING Linux servers to try to scale for double of their user base. I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Not my experience.

I installed a Fedora KDE Plasma spin and it enabled features on my laptop i didn’t know existed. It was nice. Windows 11 sucks. I’m happy to get rid of it.
