From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a pihole, I love it. My wife hates it so much I made her her own Wi-Fi network on her own vlan that’s isolated from the rest of the network and uses Google dns. My wife likes to click ads and watch TikTok and all that shit is blocked on my network
... All you had to do is create a group in the pihole, set it to bypass the filters using a '*' whitelist entry, then assign any devices you want to bypass pihole to that group.
That person is suspicious that the rogue device without adblocking is going to poison the whole network.
I won’t speak to the wisdom of that, but I’m going to imagine that’s what the issue with your suggestion is.
Lmao, LAN mesh network to distribute ads? That's a bit intense...
I am a big fan of the idea that by doing this the OC is effectively the ad-distributor in this scenario…
But then TikTok would be on my vlan….no….
