Nostr Web Client

After 3 years of use, mine died about an hour before we were due to go on holiday.

I was using the ISPs DNS until I switched to CloudFlare, then saw somebody mention NextDNS, it's cool, but there's nothing like running your own services.

I might get another pi-hole up and running some time.

Umbrel has the app, but I think it's better to use a dedicated device.

I'm always looking for a new project with raspberry pi's. Currently trying to build a semi-smart phone with a 2G wavshare modem and some code which was stolen from this project: https://github.com/evanman83/OURS-project

Kinda stuck though as while I can text and call - I can't make the audio work in either direction.

Might be time to give up, and work on setting up a pi-hole at the router. Would love to remove those ads network wide!

From experience, Brave browser is far more successful at removing ads then Pi-hole was.

Most companies, like YouTube or Facebook don't have separate servers to serve their ads and so Pi-hole's DNS approach is not very effective.

Pi-hole did work well on less popular sites that outsource their ads to external companies tho.
