Have you guys ever noticed that mobile recipe websites are the worst? loving ads and popups everwhere resisting your quest to read a goddamn recipe?

I recently started using pi hole to block ads on every device on my home network. The jist of it is that it serves as a DNS server for your network, and any requests for addresses that are in public adblock databases never make it out of your network. Thus it works on phones and tablets as long as they're using your wifi. It's nice everywhere but it really pays dividends on the mobile versions of recipe websites, which i assume you guys agree are the worst. All of a sudden recipe sites just load fast without all the bullshit and I can read the recipe right away! Wow!

It's fairly easy to set up as nerd poo poo like this goes, which is to say you'd probably have to install raspbian on a raspberry pi, then log in to it, give it a static ip, run one command to install pi-hole, and then log into your router and change one thing. e: also note that you can not do this with a raspberry pie
