@tazgetroete wann gibt es #AdGuard oder #PiHole für meine #AugmentedReality Brille?
Sicherlich nur eine Frage der Zeit...
Nun habe ich mich aber an meine #adguard Integration auf #homeassistant erinnert. Damit lässt sich eine Regel definieren, die die Videoserver von Spotify im Heimnetz blockiert. BÄM, Problem gelöst und die Kids können wieder problemlos Musik und Audio-Podcasts hören!

Brave open sources Cookiecrumbler, an AI-powered tool to automatically detect and block cookie consent banners, currently running on Brave servers, with plans to move it to the browser:

Kdenlive 25.04 released with AI-powered background removal plugin, OpenTimelineIO import/export, refactored audio thumbnail system, ability to change the duration of multiple adjacent clips in a single action and more:

(That background removal tool is actually a pretty good use of AI, and it runs locally, so no need to give Kdenlive Internet access.)
(The ability to change duration of multiple clips at once is also pretty useful, I might attempt to update Kdenlive to get that feature, and hope it doesn't break lol.)

AdGuard v1.0 for Linux: A Game Changer in Command Line Ad Blocking
Linux users rejoice as AdGuard v1.0 brings powerful ad blocking directly to the command line. With new features like app exclusions and differential filter updates, this version enhances usability and...

I was a bit gutted that my blogs were erased when my server died. I have re-written this one about my AGH setup
Perhaps it will help someone install a network wide ad-blocker or help improve their own setup. It isn't perfect but it does the job for me.
What I recall was important from the last time: I do not have or run it on a Raspberry Pi or equivalent. It's an old laptop running PopOS and a virtual machine running Yunohost.
SOLUTION: - NixOS with AdGuard DNS
services.dnsmasq.enable = true;
services.dnsmasq.settings = {
no-resolv = true;
bogus-priv = true;
strict-order = true;
server = [“94.140.14.49” “94.140.14.59” ];
add-cpe-id = “My_ID”;
};
You just cannot include the port, or it will not resolve. To be more clear, ping resolved, but my web browser in Flatpak did not. Drop the port and the above works nicely (as I am posted from there now).

RE: https://mk.absturztau.be/notes/a6rafutx0c1w00bo
Today I discovered that #homeassistant has an #adguard server available as a community add on.
So I now have a fully functioning ad blocker to replace my creaking pi hole, with the added benefit that it supports encrypted DNS out of the box. And I can repurpose my Pi 4 for other exciting projects...
So, on a lark, I got the cheapest EU cloud instance I could find, and I set up #AdGuard and enabled #DNSoverHTTPS.
Then I loaded the #DoH profile into my mobile devices and now I have ad blocking, encrypted DNS no matter where I am.
This is a huge quality of life improvement, one fewer vector for #ads to attack my mental health.
AdGuard has released a content filter application for Linux operating systems.
