I don't mean to undermine your suffering or hardships, or the ones shared by the world. Far from that.

I am simply sharing a meme pointing out a fundamental shift occurred in my life after starting a daily gratitude practice.

I studied and began practicing "gratitude" when I was living in poverty. Digging in the dirt for $5 an hour. Less than 10 years ago.

The human experience is a "big tent" phenomenon, and as long as rights are upheld, all should be welcome to participate. Even those atheists (myself included) who enjoy meditation.

Edit 1:

1/4 of votes were "down" or "in disapproval of this meme". Next time I will be more explicit in what is meant by "gratitude can solve most of the worlds problems".

The trick is that if everyone had what they needed and such a state was recognized, most problems would solve themselves. This is a statement I will stand by.

Edit 2:

Also of note are the many "upvotes" this meme received. I appreciate those who can see what I am trying to say here. Gratitude and mindfulness are wonderful peacemaking forces.

Agreed.

IMO people often forget how far gaming has come over the last 30 years. These kinds of stats help put that all into perspective.

I have tried Dashy and enjoyed having a dashboard.

Out of those mentioned, Heimdall looks like the top contender. I need to ponder if a dashboard is a good move.

It's amazing what you can do with modern computers. The number of services you are running on that RPi 5 is impressive.

Hadn't heard of Heimdall until you mentioned it. That looks like a fun tool to use.

Agreed. DNS filtering is an important tool for safety, privacy and general well-being.

I've run Pi-hole in my homelab for years and benefited from using the service. As well as the hands-on education.

With that said, what is everyone else's experience with the software? Do you use Pi-hole in your homelab setup? I would assume many hundreds of thousands of people use Pi-hole.

Edit #1:

The image attached to this post is my RPi 5, which hosts the Pi-hole software. Big supporter of the whole "SBCs for learning and home improvement" mentality.

Edit #2:

It is interesting to see the broad support for Pi-hole and DNS blockers in general. The more options, the healthier the tech ecosystem is, which benefits everyone.
