to me, it's very sad that firefox tracks search data (lemmy.world)

If I want to opt out, I can only opt out by disabling all usage telemetry according to the official doc https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-data-mozilla-help-improve-firefox . That means that my usage habits and the usage habit of all people that do not want to share their search terms with firefox, i.e. all somewhat privacy interested people is just thrown into the void. For future browser decisions, this means that the browsing behavior of a whole group is neglected. This makes me sad.

Oh ffs, fuck you Mozilla.

Can't wait to finish my home server setup to give to family and friends, which includes PiHole and a few other things I can keep updated just to block shit like this.

Don’t open port 53 to the internet.

Miss you /r/PiHole team.

There's a small pihole community (300 odd) on Lemmy but I don't one how to drop a link to a community quite yet. Well, there's actually two but the second isn't gaining any traction.

I guess you were referring to the team though, which probably are not on here.

Fare well internet stranger!
