I'm curious why you'd use pi-hole in combination with Unbound instead of using blocklists and stats that Unbound has built in?

I don't know about unbound's blocklists and stats or indeed much about unbound at all.

This: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ was stupidly simple, pi-hole has a gui that I was already used to and it all works great. So I think about and study other things that need fixing/improving in my life instead.

To flip it, why would I use unbound without pi-hole? What's the win I haven't seen (or even looked at or considered?)

In my experience, the fewer moving parts the better.

I run Unbound on my OPNsense router, and it uses the same blocklists as Pi-hole and the stats page (blocked domains, DNS requests, etc) are the same afaict.

But you still need something to do your dhcp, so maybe not fewer moving parts? Dunno.

I did pi-hole first, then much later decided to use unbound for dns because it looked super easy to add it. It was. Haven't thought about it much since. I hope your experience was as good or better.

What is multiplication if not adding over time?

I have been looking into Desktop Linux recently because macOS has taken a bit of a quality dip. GNOME - I'm never going to pronounce it guh-nome, please stop, it's embarrassing - seems to have a strong alignment with the old macOS philosophy. It's opinionated.

It also clearly copies macOS: Epiphany and the Settings app being prime examples.

I installed NixOS on an old T2 MacBook Pro, and it's... awful. Things just don't work, or don't work properly. It actually reminds me of running macOS on PCs back in the day (osx86, etc). GNOME 49 is headed in the right direction I think, but Desktop Linux is still in an absolute state.

whats a T2 MacBook Pro?

It’s an Intel MacBook with an Apple T2 Security Chip.

Coming from Logseq... this looks ideal for me.

It could also be that there is a dirth of high quality CSS training data in comparison to JavaScript et al.

I wouldn't be surprised if the negative developer sentiment toward CSS is reflected in training datasets.

My guess is it’s because CSS is so dependent on context. Especially layout styles only make sense for a specific structure of HTML elements, which might be stored in an entirely different file and directory.

Two other use cases spring to mind:

- "GitHub: Let me know when this PR is merged" - "Store: Let me know when this item is in stock"

Unfortunately I think it's only useful if it works everywhere, so we can't rely on every website implementing it themselves.

Just hope that Herbie doesn't go bananas again

Correct, and it's Linux-only and more hardcore FOSS (i .e. they don't have any blessed way to use non-free software).

I'm not sure why it's being sold as an alternative to Nix/NixOS

If you regard it as an alternative to NixOS rather than Nix the package manager then both are Linux.

Some people want FOSS only, some people dislike systemd, some people like Scheme....

Because it's an alternative which guarantees freedom?

Only Free Software guarantees that you have the final say in a matter of using arbitrary proprietary software.

It's easy to use proprietary software with Guix and nearly all users do this.

Absolutely agree.

When my boomer dad complains about the Pakistani family he went to sell something to having 2 BMWs it's definitely racist.

But the racism is inflamed by poor economic conditions, and the rationale is "how come these people that aren't even from here have a better life than me?"

Sadly, people seeking power know this and use the racism to get power and don't fix the underlying cause, which was never immigration — it was wealth inequality.

If they were of the same race as your dad, the question "how come these people that aren't even from here have a better life than me?" would still be valid.

If he can tell they're not from there, then he'll be mad. If he thinks they are fellow Englishmen he'll be less mad. That's the point, how prejudice often has a ground in economic conditions
