That’s a new one for me, I’ll add it to the list.

Damn. Well, thanks for saving me the trouble.

Yeah… that’s the problem.

Unfortunately, that’s one that got banned for a few services. Obviously not all, good to hear it still works for some, but for others you enter a gvoice number and it tells you it’s not eligible. (At least it did, maybe something has changed and they’re working again, it’s been a while since I tried it.)

Oh good, someone had suggestions. Thank you, I’ll keep these written down for when I need an anonymous voip again. The last ones I used suddenly became disqualified for what I was using them for. Hadn’t gotten around to trying replacements.

You would still need a internet source, but yeah. The hardest part would be getting a virtual phone number that qualifies for receiving account text messages when necessary. Or using apps that inherently tie themselves to a phone number.

Take the W, brah

Yeah, it’s pretty vague. I think the proper takeaway is to use them as soon as possible, and at the very least they probably won’t do harm. Hopefully.

I just logged in, no issues, probably check your extensions. Mine are minimal, includes uBlock, regular Firefox updated to latest.

Dunno, but it’s on archive.md

They just lose potency until eventually they provide no benefit.

Huh, I’ll definitely look into that. Both times I tried to route external pihole access, somehow other mystery services found it and it slowed to a crawl from getting absolutely pounded by requests not from me. Thanks for that tip!

Except that, as I’ve already mentioned, I have two piholes, and sometimes both will be receiving requests. Based on your description, the second would never receive requests as long as the first is online. Perhaps this is router dependent, but it’s what I’ve observed.

Pretty much. Not sure how the router determines which DNS to use, but mine seems to latch onto whichever one serves up results the fastest, which would inevitably be cloudflare direct after the pihole returns enough blocks.

So I use a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a dedicated pihole, and my Pi 4 seedbox acts as its own pihole and as a redundant backup. Then use gravity-sync from the Zero to the 4 to mirror the settings.

I have two piholes, and sometimes both will receive requests at the same time, if there’s a lot of traffic.

I would avoid it, as it may use the alternate instead of the pihole at anytime. If you want redundancy, it’s best to have a second pihole.

Have to wonder how many dances end with the female being like “your performance was excellent but, unfortunately, you missed a spot.”

maybe Birds of Paradise

They carefully weed, groom, and remove any debris from their courtship grounds to ensure a spotless area for their performances. This ensures that the females are not distracted by dirt and debris, allowing the males to show off their dazzling colors and elaborate dances without interruption.

I didn’t say it was stupid, but there have been questions asked here like “is Kim Kardashian a princess” so sometimes the seriousness of the question is unclear.

On iOS, Tusker (for Mastodon and Pixelfed) has settings to set the default for composing and replying:

edit: also note that you can set your pixelfed account to private in general, but I think you have to check that box from the website interface. None of the apps I have include that setting.
