A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Just set up a pi hole. Fuck ‘em
Pihole explicitly doesn't block Youtube ads as they can't differentiate them from content at that level, it needs to be done at browser/app level
This.
The ads and content are delivered via the same way, so blocking one blocks the others.
You mean piehole?
No. PiHole is effectively ad-blocking via DNS; the name is a play on black hole and Raspberry Pi.
You mean holepie?
You mean highpole?
Is a highpole a polish resident on drugs?
