> Jio also has its own streaming service, which doesn’t count against your data caps.

How does this work? AFAIK JioCinema uses Akamai for content delivery... do they not count data for traffic from their own hosted edge caches or is it something else?

Yep, I faced this same issue when I bought an M2 Air early March. The 16GB BTO upgrade was roughly 40% more expensive compared to the discounted base 8GB model.

Replace Pihole and Unbound with AdGuard and this stack will instantly be more efficient, fast and significantly more powerful.

Can someone please explain why the site downloads 600MB+ assets every time the page is reloaded?

I agree with this summarization but I don't see an issue with carrying three separate devices (three separate batteries!).

I use DuckDNS for letting Alexa and Google Assistant access my Home Assistant devices.

Not needing to click on a link to “renew” my host name every month is a huge plus.

The biggest issue however is that it doesn’t support CNAMEs so I can’t migrate to a Tailscale Funnel address without redoing the entire setup, since I have a VPS configured to reverse proxy Home Assistant from home, through Tailscale of course.

As long as it is via domains I am able to block, it is fine.

In India, internet providers already provide a portal to the police and other agencies with no accountability.

In my experience, ISPs DNS servers are slower compared to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, especially for "complex" lookups where there are as many as 6 CNAMEs in the DNS chain.

Also, they often run a single instance of bind, with little to no load-balancing.

Yep, this is the reason why I'm hesitant to switch ISPs despite crappy service during peak hours. They have PNIs/local CDN hostings/prominent IX peering and good international peering.

This is a little weird for me:

Using Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1:

  ~> curl -s --doh-url https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query https://mensura.cdn-apple.com/api/v1/gm/config | jq -r .test_endpoint
  sgsin3-edge-bx-008.aaplimg.com
  PING sgsin3-edge-bx-008.b.aaplimg.com (17.253.61.15) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from sgsin3-edge-bx-008.b.aaplimg.com (17.253.61.15): icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=74.2 ms

If I use 8.8.8.8:

  ~> curl -s --doh-url https://dns.google/dns-query https://mensura.cdn-apple.com/api/v1/gm/config | jq -r .test_endpoint
  hkhkg1-edge-bx-007.aaplimg.com
  ~> ping hkhkg1-edge-bx-007.aaplimg.com
  PING hkhkg1-edge-bx-007.aaplimg.com (17.253.85.13) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from hkhkg1-edge-bx-007.aaplimg.com (17.253.85.13): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=107 ms

Seems like I'm two different PoPs depending on which DNS I'm using.

> quick .json representations of Reddit pages

Had no idea this existed... replacing the slash at the end of the URL and appending .json will output the post in JSON. Quite nice!

On a desktop machine, sure... but on a laptop, I'd want it to enter sleep and subsequently deep sleep when I close the lid or lock it.

www.casaos.io mentions:

> X-NODE Space, 4F, 800 NaXian Road, Shanghai, P.R.C

Definitely something I'd trust.

This is why I quit using Spotify. I couldn’t tune my recommendations after Alexa played music for someone else in a different language.

I was using Quad9 until they had infra issues where latency skyrocketed from ~40ms to an unstable ~250ms... soon after I noticed that the routing was changed to another country with a latency of stable ~70ms.

A DNS resolver in another country breaks several things for me such as Wi-Fi Calling and certain CDNs that do not support EDNS Client Subnet, so I'm using Cloudflare Gateway DNS (DoH) for the time being.

Last time I checked India was still a democracy.

Is the BJP's "IT cell" spreading propaganda on HN now too?

TIL that four spaces indents it into code blocks... thanks!

This contains both parts:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:B96B9C1CD9A0332E82023FA934DDD4ACF94377DE&tr=http://tracker.trackerfix.com:80/announce&tr=udp://9.rarbg.m...

Can you explain in detail how this is supposed to work? Am I supposed to run this (Docker here) on my local server or on a remote server that the block is not affecting??

> unable to stream HD Content to my iPhone

Yeah this has been the case since forever. It prioritizes instant playback vs forcing 1080p or similar.

Can't speak for iPhone, but on iPad, I've moved to using the website which goes goes to 1080p immediately.

> still have to download it, to see it an acceptable quality

Downloaded content do contain a whole lot more compression than streaming at max phone supported quality, so just a tiny FYI.

AdGuard Home is more lightweight, no doubt; it's a single binary executable.

Whereas Pihole... where do I start

It can, as a matter of fact.

Source: have AdGuard Home running in my network for many years.

Yeah no doubt it's gonna be China in a few years time if the current government remains in power.

Thanks for this.

Yup, glad there's no SwiftUI here.

I'm using NNW with FreshRSS on my home server. Great experience across operating systems. Miss the app on Windows and Android.

One thing that has stood out to me is that when I have two Edge windows open, for example and I switch to the last used window from Safari, both windows overlap instead of just the one window I was working with.

If there's a home developed alternative, it is significantly more likely to experience outages than Google's offering, given how terrible gov. services are in the country.

Wanna withdraw money from a Post Office? Be prepared to return back empty-handed because "Link down" or gov. employees watching cricket matches.
