#adguard

I made my #AdGuardHome configuration public.

This is my solution to both store #adguard conf in code and continuously deploy it on many nodes. I also proposed some solutions to easily gather metrics and switch off/on ad protection. Everything is written in README.

(That background removal tool is actually a pretty good use of AI, and it runs locally, so no need to give Kdenlive Internet access.)
(The ability to change duration of multiple clips at once is also pretty useful, I might attempt to update Kdenlive to get that feature, and hope it doesn't break lol.)

BetaNews · Brave open sources Cookiecrumbler to make cookie consent blocking smarterBrave just made a move that should make privacy enthusiasts pretty happy. The company has officially open sourced Cookiecrumbler, a tool designed to automatically detect and help block those obnoxious cookie consent banners you see across the Web. These pop-ups are not only annoying but, according to research, often track users even when they click reject. Cookiecrumbler aims to stop that nonsense while avoiding the headaches that can come with sloppy blocking rules.

Today I discovered that #homeassistant has an #adguard server available as a community add on.

So I now have a fully functioning ad blocker to replace my creaking pi hole, with the added benefit that it supports encrypted DNS out of the box. And I can repurpose my Pi 4 for other exciting projects...

AdGuard VPN is now available on Microsoft Edge for Android.
AdGuard itself is not yet available, but support is planned.

Edited with better screenshot.

#AdGuard support is really useless. They told me they won't fix their app that crashes all the time because it's Android that's killing it in the background and there's nothing they can do.

Meanwhile, Tasker has been running for months in the background.

I was talking to my kids last night a bit about why I put #AdGuard on the network. They were complaining about having to go off wifi to watch ads in their games.

Me: But the trackers!
Them: wat

Does anyone have a good video aimed at young people about why you should care about online #privacy?

This morning I thought, hey nobody is using the Internet, I can do a quick update of my #pihole to version 6.

Welp that went sideways. While the upgrade worked for the most part, my custom DNS didn't get transferred over so that broke most of my internal services. I coudn't find any simple way of re-importing it. I could tell pihole to use the generated list from DNSMASQ but it doesn't show up in the WebUI.

I forward to my DNS to a local unbound services and always thought I should have my local DNS there so I figured I would take the chance. A few bash one-liners later to convert the files to unbound config. A records works but not CNAME. Found out that between unbound just gives DNSMASQ the CNAME then does nothing else with it, it doesn't follow through to resolve the A record.

Another one liner to convert the CNAME to A records and everything is working....

Now, do I table flip and try replacing pihole with something like adguard? Would be easier now then ever.
