I no longer smoke as a habit, but when I have to travel solo (like for work) I sometimes will buy a pack just so I have an excuse to strike up a conversation with other humans without being called a creep or weirdo. "Hey, you got a light? What brand you smoking? How are you liking the conference so far?"

But you don’t have to run pi-hole on a pi. I run it in an Ubuntu Linux container on my Proxmox server.

Awesome advice and a great way to prepare for unexpected death or incapacitation (if you are the one in your family who usually handles all this stuff). I only would add that if you do go ahead with this, use tools or a medium that mere mortals are familiar with. Assume the person who needs to read it only knows git as a Larry the Cable Guy reference ("git 'er done!").

This is great stuff. I’ve had this bookmarked in my browser for almost 20 years!

I should see what else I have in there…

But with 600% more smug.

This doesn’t even really need reporting when every rando-vegan out there is running up to people they don’t know to announce shit like this.

Downvote me, but you know it’s true.

Ah yes, the “they were asking for it” defense.

This is how to learn to mimic a new language and avoid actually learning it. It’s the difference between carrying around a French phrase book and being able to converse like a native.
