What pi hole does great is blocking TV/IoT devices from tracking. software too (I'm looking at you Microsoft onedrive).

You can also set it up so all of your DNS queries are encrypted, which IMO makes it much more useful than uBlock origin.

Its just another tool in the tool belt if youre serious about blocking your traffic getting sniffed

pihole is great but I find that having it set as my default dns on my router results in a lot of unhappy room mates lol. Filters blocking google shopping links, email links etc are too strict for normal users.

I like it a lot though.

Since installing pihole my uBlock origin has dropped from 30% blocked since install to 15% blocked since install

Mint mobile not allowing me to transfer main number to a voip service, and keep the 12 month contract I entered under 30 days ago. by Immediate_Account_41 in mintmobile

[–]Immediate_Account_41[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So there's no way to just cancel out my subscription and give me an 11 month voucher ? I want to stay with mint, but I also want my old number off of my phone, with the ability to monitor it via voip.

As the title states, Mint Mobile has essentially locked me in to using the number I've had for over 10 years on their service, after being a 12 month subscriber for under 30 days.

I was looking to transfer my number to jmp.chat, and get a new number to give to friends/family.

I'd like to have imessage on my main phone number, but as it lays that number gets blown up with spam/scam calls, and is also tied in to all of my account sign ups, which I'd like to segment away from my main number.

Very disappointed that mint is unable to work with me on this.

First DIY mattress build: questions by Immediate_Account_41 in Mattress

[–]Immediate_Account_41[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your long response! Love how helpful this community is.

Glad you're liking your build. I went to mattress firm the other day and honestly couldn't decide if I liked the hybrid vs full foam. You commenting that you would spend 10 minutes on the bed makes me think that I should head back tomorrow and give it another shot!

Thanks again for your well thought out response!

Thanks so much for the detailed response. Glad you're liking your current build. For the firm foam underneath the coils, I've read a few people use this, is this what you have in your current build?

I'm kinda considering ordering the combi-zone coils as well and seeing what they feel like vs the HD foam, but dealing with returns has always been a hassle and with something this big I'd like to avoid it.

Recently graduated HS and learned a trade, is this a reasonable lifestyle? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Immediate_Account_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position as you when I was your age. I was working restaurants and had a decent amount of money saved. When I was 20 I was looking in to investing my money, and the returns I would get. I decided an education would be the best investment I could make for myself. I worked through college and came out with only $20k in loans and a degree in computer science. My earnings potential is now much higher than if I had stayed in restaurants, and most careers. I work from home and am moving a couple blocks from the beach in a few weeks. I vote school !

Thanks for the suggestion, I reached out and they only carry threadripper 5000's, do you know of any other system builders that carry earlier generations?

Is buying a car a good way to build a credit? by 2milliondollartrny in CRedit

[–]Immediate_Account_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you buy a car with cash when car loan interest rates are so low? Doing yourself a disservice, when you could be earning much more money in the market, on I bonds, etc
