I think teens do it to feel edgy.

I’m not saying that’s the ONLY reason they do it, but they hear about it and see others doing it and it’s a case of monkey see, monkey do.

Lol this is the best answer

Yep. It’s mind boggling that they still even do this.

The other thing I hate about reviews is when they use the same review page for different SKUs of the same product. So for example you’ll be reading a review of what you think is a 2 litre plastic container because that’s what you clicked on. The review will say something like ‘it’s too big for the fridge’. Meanwhile the review was actually for the 5 litre version of the same product. So then you have to scroll through a million reviews to find the relevant ones, with no way to filter them.

Well it’s a service I’m paying for, so yes a bit of trust is required. Their privacy policy looks decent as well. As it stands, I trust them more with it than I would my ISP, Google or Microsoft.

You can choose what region to log to (I chose Switzerland) and you can also configure the retention period.

I also started on pihole, but switched to Blocky because Blocky is way more DevOps friendly (I run this stuff on microk8s on a Pi cluster).

Then I just ditched it altogether and now use NextDNS. Well worth paying the small fee for. But you obviously don’t get the same DIY satisfaction out of it.
