It’s a good way to dip your toes into learning about Linux, self-hosting, and administering reliable services.

Functionally they are the same though.

This thread is about dns level blocking not client side blocking.

[-] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Its both, actually. Ublock is client side and only available on Firefox, PiHole is network wide and available for anyone who can setup a simple DNS server.

Yes. And the person I replied to was asking if running your own dns is somehow different than using an opinionated dns service. The answer is no.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
