DuckDuckGo has become socialist dictators. Their recent actions against Russia revealed who they are and what they think secretly. Or should I say, who they are not. They claimed to offer Google’s results with added benefit of privacy. However, they just said censorship is now good for you. Meh.

Je quitte Fecalbook pour la seconde et dernière fois. Cette plateforme est devenue comme Tweeter: un cesspool d’avis divergents ou personne ne s’écoute. Même leurs dirigeants en interdisent l’accès a leurs enfants!
Pi-hole a Network-wide DNS Ad-Blocker aka A black hole for Internet advertisements. Primarily developed for Raspberry Pi and ported to Linux, it’s lightweight. Just like pixelserv (man-in-the-middle https DNS Ad-Blocker), it is also a DNS server.
Read more: How To Install Pi-Hole DNS Ad blockerYou can run Pi-hole in a container, or deploy it directly to a supported operating system via their automated installer.
Pi-hole Supported Linux distros:
Distribution | Release | Architecture |
---|---|---|
Raspbian | Stretch / Buster | ARM |
Ubuntu | 16.x / 18.x | ARM / x86_64 |
Debian | 9 / 10 | ARM / x86_64 / i386 |
Fedora | 28 / 29 | ARM / x86_64 |
CentOS | 7 | x86_64 |
Ubuntu users: This is compatible with systemd-resolve (on AWS, it’s listening on 127.0.0.53 so it does not interfere with Pi-Hole).
Their automated installer asks you a few questions and then sets everything up for you. Once complete, move onto step 3.
One-step install:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
The installer is interactive.
Cron jobs are created by the installer:

The web UI showcase logs and point & click configuration. If you chose to install lighttpd, the web UI is available at your pihole IP/admin
To use your existing web server, create a virtual host which points to /var/www/html
where Pi-Hole installed its web UI.
You don’t need to install the Web UI to check Pi-hole status. Especially on Raspberry Pi for which this Ad-blocker has been designed, a simple command line dashboard is available to check the server status:
pihole -c
You can also follow the DNS logs directly:
pihole -t
Depending on what and where you installed Pi-Hole, consider modifying your devices accordingly.
If your Pi-Hole is installed on a public IP server, consider updating your ISP or DD-wrt router to use that DNS as well! You can also share it with your friends! also consider installing it both online and at home, for redundancy.
Modify the home or ISP router to use that DNS instead of the default. All your home connected devices will be protected!
You can also setup each device individually. This guide will show you how to do it on most platforms including Android, Apple Mac and iPhone.
For instance on Windows, open Adapter Options:
You can also access Adapter Options by running this command:
::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\3\::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
Right-click on your network card and setup the IPv4 DNS manually.
This is the recommended setup. Not only your ISP cannot track you anymore, but you also utterly destroy any attempt from Ad servers to bug you anymore, transparently and setup-free!
If you are running an OpenVPN server for instance (How To Install OpenVPN Server here), you need to define the new Pi-Hole DNS address in the /etc/openvpn/server.conf
file.
To do so, save, then edit the config file, and keep only one line if you have only one Pi-Hole DNS address (replace 1.2.3.4 by your Pi-Hole DNS IP):
vi /etc/openvpn/server.conf push "dhcp-option DNS 1.2.3.4"
Then restart the OpenVPN service:
service openvpn restart
Pi-Hole used as the main DNS of the OpenVPN server will effectively filter Ads for any client using that VPN. Also setup the home ISP router and your secondary DD-wrt router to use it so even your home devices are protected!
I disabled browser Ad-blocker plugins such as uBlock Origin and started surfing over the Ad-bloated Macworld.com and other fake news mainstream medias. I also noticed some Ads on iPhone games were absent but not all of them.
Do you see any ads? If you see Ads, maybe that’s because they are hosted (same url as the main website) aka interstitial Ads. Pi-hole can do nothing for self-hosted Ads and you need to pair it with browser Ad-Blockers like uBlock Origin.
The best of all? Most of the mobile Ads on Apple and Android phones are blocked as well! No more stupid Ad countdown interrupting my son’s games!
Not all of them will be blocked because, again, some are still self-hosted on the game developer’s platform.
The North Carolina truck driver was busted on Wednesday hauling 18,000 pounds of toilet paper in a stolen 18-wheeler trailer.
Read more: We Found Out Where All Of The Toilet Paper Went!The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office intercepted the driver on Wednesday amid the coronavirus pandemic that has resulted in panicked customers buying up toilet paper across the country.
After spotting the stolen 18-wheeler, deputies say they followed the driver to a warehouse off the interstate.
It was there that they discovered the driver was hauling 18,000 pounds of commercial bathroom paper products.
Photos taken by deputies show dozens of boxes inside the truck that were filled with toilet paper.
Maybe this surge in toilet paper needs serves a different purpose then we all thought?

Smart Meters pose a menace to society: they spy on you and burn your brain cells. Beware, they might even help you save money! JK
What is a smart meter? A Smart Meter is the next generation of a gas and electricity meter. They’re being installed by energy suppliers in every home worldwide: USA, UK, France, etc. Smart meters come with an in-home display screen that shows you exactly how much energy you’re using in pounds and pence, in near real time and will bring an end to estimated bills.
Social media spread Fake News and contribute to social issues such as a lower self-esteem among its young population of users. Why?
Freedom of expression is a right everyone should have and exercise. It’s especially true as it is a bedrock of American democracy, as defined in the first amendment of the constitution. The spread of internet certainly comes with a lot of benefits such as unlimited access to information and unparalleled communication options (when it’s not censored). The mix of the two has given birth to a monster called social media. Social media is just a hype terminology to describe a content sharing platform with free access. Because it’s “free” to use, their success is humongous and they count billions of users around the world.
