Buried the lede with the return of Creme Savers, too! Can not wait until I get some of them classic sours, long awaited return.

This movie is surely an allegory for the period of which it takes place, yes? Following the troubles through the character relationships of the stubborn, the maimed and the child. It’s a beautiful movie that left me with deep impressions about the world and humanity.

I understand this. Just try to maintain perspective while being lambasted and inundated with all the terrible headlines:

It has always been this way.

We have progressed through our own adversarial nature and will continue to do so. The older, wiser of us know that. Everyone has their connections turned up to 11 right now just because of how easy it is for outside news to reach us.

The world and everything is not as crazy as the news and internet would make you believe.

Good tools are expensive and meant to last a lifetime, maybe more. A cheap tap and die set is a blessing for anodized sheet metal like in a computer case. Cheap materials, cheap tools.

Tin snips and a metric size tap and die. Youre right that a lot of cases have proprietary or non standard power supply mounts. The only guarantee that I could fit anything, including motherboards, in some cases was to get a template and do it myself.

Sorry, you wouldnt and didnt mean to imply that. I was suggesting that port forwarding is a fairly easy task and if one is confident in their ability to do that, than they should be able to complete a PiHole install.

PiHole runs great on older Raspberry Pi’s(I am still using a pi3). Older models are still very easy to get and a readily available from the approved resellers list.

I felt the same way about youtube, streaming, shopping and general browsing: too many ads. Ruins the content. I set up a pi-hole as an experiment to see if it would do what it said and what others said about it. Manage your expectations here. Pi-hole works well for blocking a lot of static information and ads in your browser and a lot of apps on iOS and Android. It does not block video ads on Youtube or Hulu, it does not block ads for Roku or Firestick or Smart TV apps for example, it just does not work because of the technical limitations of how the PiHole software is designed. Using a regular PC with adblock browser extension installed as well gets rid of 99% of ads including video ads from adcdns. PiHole is incredibly easy to setup and install, the pay off in quality of life is enormous. I cannot recommend it more to someone that has a little networking knowledge base. If you can figure out how to port forward and run a handful of command lines you can complete a pihole setup in an hour.

Potatoes absolutely will build up enough internal pressure to pop, even if the skins have been punctured. Not every spud will blow up some just split; when they do it makes a hell of a mess in the oven. I once broke a microwave at work with a potato because it did this. To postulate a reason; some potatoes have a higher moisture content than others.

Phō. I have never had a bad date while enjoying a bowl at a Vietnamese restaurant.

Nardwuar, The Human Serviette. He does interviews with musicians, since the 80s at some point, always comes correct with great facts and tidbits about who he is interviewing. Its his response when the artist inevitably asks him: “How did you know?”

“You’re xxxxxx we have to know.”

The chokepoint here would be the networking and RAM. Pi-hole isnt all that resource intensive but does use a bit of the network resources. Kodi, should run along with it but the performace as stated from other posters will leave a lot to be desired. The 2GB of RAM is not going to be powerful enough to do a lot. On the fly encoding for video is going to suffer by RAM, CPU and network output. Its possible to do it but youll definitely have to be patient with it.
