The content of your argument exists only in your head, there’s nothing any of us on the outside can do for you there.

Lmao it’s like comical how when presented with a crossroads of how to get back to printing money, EA has chosen the one path least likely to help them make any money.

Look at cyberpunk, marketers told poeple that it was going to be basically a real life simulator and then people were upset that it was only a really fun RPG

We can’t put all the blame on marketers. It is still to this day a wonky, janky, buggy and substandard RPG. There was no level of softening that would make Cyberpunk palatable enough to be entirely free of negative sentiment.

Why would I take onboard what you’ve said, which has still to this point not been relevant in any way whatsoever. I’m not a party to the argument inside your head lol. In order for me to make any more points, you’d have to actually engage with the ones I’ve already made, not the ones you’ve made yourself inside your own noodle.

…but you won’t. It wouldn’t be very European of you to engage directly with reality.

People who aren’t seething don’t feel the need to make up fake arguments in their head because they have no defense that actually applies to the situation they’re commenting on.

What’s next for you, bring school shootings into it? Thats the usually play at this point right? Europeans will talk about anything but what’s relevant.

If the French were half as dedicated to their work as you are to shadow boxing with your own reflection, maybe productivity wouldn’t be next to dead last lol.

You’re a lost cause pal. If you have to invent some separate imaginary argument entirely unrelated to mine just to respond, you really must be out of your element. Classic seething european playbook lol. Have no valid response? Just hit em with some “whatabouts” with zero relevance lol.

I think you’ve lost the entire thread. You’re miles away from the point of conversation. Whatever argument it is you’re trying to make is entirely irrelevant to anything I’ve said up to this point. Clearly people who have shit jobs have zero relevance to what’s being discussed. Neither does any mandated benefit to US workers or lack thereof. At this point I honestly can’t tell if you’re ESL or just illiterate.

I’m not sure how exactly how that’s relevant to me or what I’ve said in any way. I have no clue what point it is you’re trying to make or to who.

Yes it’s all anecdotal, given that it’s an anecdote. That naturally follows does it not? And no, it’s not including any substandard jobs that you need two of to scrape by. It counts very good jobs that are similar in scope and with at least adequate benefits across multiple countries within the same company.

How are you going to tell me how good of a work life balance I have or don’t have at my company that I work for and you don’t? Pretty sure I have all the facts in this case lmao

There’s no federal requirement, yet I still get 3 weeks vacation time, 5 personal days,a week of sick time, and an abundance of WFH. Somehow we manage a good work life balance and still beat out the French in productivity. We’re not even superstar corporate drones. Our office is mostly Gen Z at this point who have no qualms with actually utilizing our time off like some of the older generations.

No there’s more to it than that. We have 3 weeks of vacation here in the U.S. and don’t have any problems getting things done.

My experience with French companies is that they never even work. The French take so much vacation time off you can hardly get anything done. They are regularly out worked by just about every other country on the face of the Earth.

But I also understand IT security is dramatically complicated by user’s working on their private network connection.

It really isn’t.

I mean if you want to build something around Unbound to do ad blocking and set up a monitoring stack for metrics and all that jazz that’s great, more power to you. But you already have two things built for purpose, there’s no reason to go out of your way to do that. And I don’t think OP here is prepared to do all that.

If you want to run your own recursive DNS server, why would you run two separate DNS servers?

I’m not sure I understand your question. A recursive DNS server and a local DNS cache/forwarder/are two different things with two different purposes. You will always need both. You yourself are using AdguardHome and that is just connecting to recursive DNS server upstream. In my scenario you’re just running both yourself instead of you running one and then letting a 3rd party run the other for you.

Your outbound queries will still be unencrypted, so your ISP can still log them and create an advertising profile based on them.

You can encrypt the recursive queries through your ISP if you want to. Though the effectiveness of any profiling your ISP would do to you are minimized by Qname minimization that Unbound does by default.

If you’re just using DoH then you’re just shifting who’s making that advertising profile on you from your ISP to whoever is hosting your upstream recursive DNS server. It doesn’t matter how much encryption you do because on the other end of that encrypted connection is the entity who you’re giving all your queries to.

I would say Pihole is a better choice than AdGuard home because PiHole just runs on top of dnsmasq. Throw Unbound on there too as your upstream recursive resolver and you’re set. You don’t even need to worry about an encrypted session to your upstream anymore because your upstream is now your loopback.

God just imagine the racism.

Nah, just a guy who has actually used both consoles and understands the state of Compute today.

Yes besides all of the brand new hardware that improved load times dramatically and can reliably play games at 60fps without blowing out your eardrums due to fan noise, the best new controller to hit the market since the first rumble pak, and all the new games to play on it, it didn’t improve much… lol

You better settle in bucko because I have some bad news, it only gets more incremental from here.
