@stetech Thanks for the nudge. This is the one https://timsh.org/tracking-myself-down-through-in-app-ads/

@Confused_Emus @rtxn Figuring out DNS is always fun.
And never ever ever make any, even small, DNS change on a Friday. Unless you don’t like weekends.
Is it time to break out the DNS haiku and pray to the name gods?

![It’s the DNS haiku. Not my work. Is very widely circulated on the internet and I’ve no idea who to attribute the original to. Anyway, it’s a watercolour(?) painting of a branch with pink blossom flowers. Show in the top left corner is the following calligraphic text:

It’s not DNS There’s no way it’s DNS It was DNS

It appears to be isned “SSBroski”

Anyway, as someone who’s had days taken off their life by broken DNS I like this image.](https://o.mastodon.au/media_attachments/files/114/107/965/106/956/466/original/d05aeed43a3c9b71.webp)

@stetech @Xraygoggles there was a good article i read a couple of weeks ago about a guy who fired up a factory reset iPhone, opted out of all the crap but logged all connections it made (on his router). remind me tomorrow and i’ll try and dig it out. i reckon you’d like it

@stetech @Xraygoggles yes if you’re able to either configure your router to tell tge tv to use it (DHCP), or you can set your TV’s network settings directly. adguard probably have guides on how to do it

@miss_demeanour @Semi_Hemi_Demigod Now you’ll have an open bottle of port in your cabinet for 10 years until you fancy another glass or a recipe calls for it

@muntedcrocodile @crony I used to run Exchange and have had various others for my 2 person house. Sometimes overkill. These days I don’t think I’d bother running mail at home, even on reliable hardware, a decent connection and with a static IP. Hassles with getting on/off blacklists even with all DKIM, SPF etc being in place are things I don’t want to deal with these days.
My incoming mails are a couple of bank notifications, monitoring alerts and notes from schools and sports clubs. A lot of system admin for not much actual use.
I might revisit it once the winter evenings come in.
