Roku seems alright so far. Few dollars up front and I don't have to debug DRM again. Also cheaper than upgrading laptop to be capable of 4k playback.

are there any “YOSPOS APPROVED” ad block lists for pihole or similar ? if no should we start a list in the directory thread?

are they similar to some of the subscription lists for adguard/nextdns? afaik they're pretty similar to a pihole in concept, although both services allow you to modify dns responses to resolve to local addresses even (and i don't remember which thread i mentioned this in recently but it's always worth noting: adguard's filtering is more advanced than nextdns'). if so i can post which ones i'm subscribed to barring some data breach or some poo poo, i give both my stamp of approval though. they're free (up to a point), you get your own personal servers, they support dns-over-tls (and quic, and dnssec, and and and... pretty much everything but DoH), have great-to-excellent filtering options, and so far haven't complained about me making several accounts to get around the free request cap, and you can import/export your custom rules to make that easier, too above all though the query/response logs make it real easy to block an ad you just saw. helped a ton to track down paramount+'s dynamically changing ad server (which you can block with regex on adguard, but need to do wildcarding on nextdns) e: whoops got the services mixed up in the last line there. anyway, also worth noting: adguard's dns queries seem to mostly be in (or at least resolve to) europe whereas nextdns gives me more local results. that probably wouldn't make much difference to most of you, but since we use 5g as home internet here the extra latency was noticeable (barely, we're talking ~30ms, but still) other than that nextdns does some deduplication magic to make the free monthly quota more sustainable, but i still blew past the 300,000 requests in about two weeks (for both services, but adguard doesn't do deduplication, so duplicates ended up making that more like a week and a half). still, i was able to configure my router to auto-switch between the two Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Jan 26, 2024 |

also searching around a bit tells me that the latest chromeos + lacros (the last time i used chros, you needed to install that separately through os://flags) will work with widevine's verified media path requirement, so if 1080p+ doesn't work with some service under that configuration, then it's likely the service checking user agent strings or something along those lines i wonder if it's possible to extract the widevine modules from a lacros install. the last time i used chros (late last year, probably november) it was using kernel 5.5x though, so even assuming that it would work with regular chrome, maybe it wouldn't work with most newer distros? e: i really don't wanna go through reinstalling google's firmware on my chromebooks though. i finally have them fully working (with windows 10/11 on one and clear on the other). sound, hdr, you name it, it works (...sadly, still, except the fingerprint reader). so if someone else with a chromebook wants to give that a try, please do. i don't think i'm ever going to go back to the google fw Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jan 26, 2024 |

i'm also a fan of adguard home, the only annoying limitation for me is that it can't do dhcp with multiple subnets. so i run two, the second just does dhcp for my iot vlan, and tells the clients to use the first as dns. i know dhcp isn't its main job but it's such a clean and easy interface for it, better than when i was manually assigning ips in vyos.

If there's folks out there running their own name server daemon, may I recommend void-zones-tools? Despite what it says in the description, it's not just for FreeBSD, and also works for nsd(8) if you're doing authorative stuff. Best of all, it works properly by responding with an NXDOMAIN instead of resolving to 0.0.0.0. This has the effect that any process that caches name resolution (either on its own or via nsdispatch(3)) will not end up trying multiple times.

adguard and nextdns do all that for you too. you can set the DNS response to be NXDOMAIN, 0.0.0.0, or whatever you want, really like i said, adguard (but not nextdns) supports completely transforming the dns response via regex. so if you want e.g. "dns.google" to have an A record of 192.168.1.1 (or whatever) and an AAAA record of ::1, you can do that. it even lets you set TXT, MX records, etc. nextdns allows modifying the response too, but it's far more limited. you can just modify the A/AAAA responses, and only with a wildcard to catch subdomains i'll take this opportunity to note that ime a lot of embedded apps (including some on apple tv, and a couple of roku ones) have google's dns hardcoded, likely to try and defeat dns-based ad filtering. so if you're trying to block ads and find that you cant, you should at the very least block google dns or modify its records to point to your own servers

like, nextdns' rewrite option looks like this (i don't actually have any rewrite rules set up for nextdns since i just block google dns with iptables now) but adguard just gives you a text area and a link to their filter syntax, lol. so my custom filters/rewrites looks like this  it also supports a device deny/allow list, so even if you tried to use the servers in the screenshot, you'd just get normal dns

yep I have a bunch of custom records and filters like that, too, it's very configurable. i also use DoH upstreams and my nat/firewall redirects/blocks ports 53 and 853 back to adguard, so it captures regular dns and DoT on standard ports before it leaves the network. not much I can do about DoH configured on clients without packet inspection but google devices don't seem to be that sneaky yet, so i don't need the overhead. because my network is used by others in the house i only use one block filter. it blocks the bulk of ads and malware etc without breaking functionality of major sites. strong recommendation from me as I never get complaints that online shopping or social media is broken: https://oisd.nl/ i don't use any of the built-in ad/porn blocking functionality or webservices provided by AGH, I just like the software itself. i do have little kids in the house though and i direct just their devices to upstream cloudflare and opendns family dns servers - i do this because while AGH lets you pick different upstream dns per client/subnet, it doesn't let you pick different filter lists. seems a strange omission. finally I've found setting its "parallel requests" and "optimistic caching" settings make it incredibly snappy. the latter means will always respond from cache initially, even if expired, but it also goes out to check again ready for next time. in case it wasn't in cache at all, the first setting calls all upstreams and returns the fastest response. probably not a nice setting to have on a big network vs load balancing and fallback, but for a small home network i think it's fine.

you could always set up a separate server (and import your settings for your old one) for your kid's devices, i think? i'm allowed two servers for free at least, i'm sure if it's part of coughing up for adguard home they must at least give you that anyway, if i'm understanding you correctly, you could replicate the server (but change the filter lists) and then i suppose have your router push the different dns servers to your kids devices (i'm not sure how good the ip filtering on adguard dns is, i just do it by ASN because my devices use it on cellular too) e: i think we're talking about two similar but distinct products actually. so idk if this applies Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Jan 28, 2024 |

thanks, no the current setup i have of using different upstreams for their subnet is fine for my use case, I just think for other use cases too it would be good to have different lists per client. and no i don't subscribe to adguard home or any of their services, i just use their open source software and don't think there's any non-commercial limitation for multiple installs of that. i have a second one just for dhcp/rdns for my iot vlan.
