I set up a Raspberry Pi 3 with AdguardHome for a friend of mine, and told him to disconnect everything at home and try to watch anything on his phone, being the only device using his home’s internet.
He just sent me this, and now he’s ready to #degoogle 🤣🤣🤣
He says there were hundreds in less than 5 minutes.
Work I agree with you. The point I’m trying to make is just asking for Google.com for example, could give you a different server between two requests.
You can control domains, but you cannot control servers, you can only trust that a domain doesn’t resolve to something malicious.
That’s one of the biggest issues. A domain that points somewhere right now could point to an entirely different server later, and we have no way of knowing until its too late. But we have become too dependent on this hyper-conectivity to easily move away from this. Its a challenge, for sure, but I enjoy the fight against these companies and the trolls they insert everywhere. Apparently this is the new way to have fun for me 🤪
I agree it’s definitely fun to see how far we can push it as consumers.
Long term. I do think the more sustainable solution is for people to run their own “Personal Clouds”.
It’s the 2nd “PC” revolution 🙂
I’ve been degoogled for so long that I can’t imagine ever going back to anything other than self-hosting. Sure, starting is not easy, buy once I got used to it, I could not be happier.
