Hmmm. I wonder how they could improve the 'character of the neighborhood' and reduce their 'traffic issues'?

Perhaps, if we just give them more lanes and parking spots in New York Fucking City they'll solve it! Looks like a super pleasant place to hang out currently.

FFS. If you want a car-dependent nightmare dystopia, move literally anywhere else in the country! Sheepshead bay is in the damn subway network. Ride a bike. Go for a walk. Ride the damn subway. If it doesn't go to enough places, we should expand it!

Is there some kind of alternativeto astroturfing going on today? I see they just rolled out a website redesign, but I literally only know them as a spammy SEO-bait site I wind up clicking accidentally when I look for software recs. Everything on the site is generic and AI-generated as hell. Tons of ads, AI generated images, and dark patterns.

Mods, take note.

Honestly I wish Kagi would build their own full Firefox fork and maintain it independently. I already pay for search, I wouldn't mind paying for my browser if it actually respected me!

Car-dependent infrastructure is antithetical to wheelchair and blind accessibility anyway. They're much better off in a safer environment free of multi-ton death machines driving 45mph.

Aha, thank you. Shouldn't have riffed from memory on that one, I suppose!

But very much agreed: the Zero series has plenty of beef for a DNS server. Maybe when the 3 comes out I'll add one as a backup for my 4 server.

Funny enough, the Pi Zero uses the CPU from the 3 and the Zero 2 uses the CPU from the 3+, so they're both more powerful than a 2 anyway :)

Just be sure that the second server in the list is also a black hole. If you don't, all black holed requests will fallback to the second DNS... which, if it doesn't also black hole them, will wind up serving you ads and defeating the point!

Personally I find a single Pi is just fine for DNS. It only takes like 10 seconds to reboot. Less, if you use M.2 storage via a HAT or boot from USB! That's pretty fine downtime. But if you're afraid you'll knock over the network and get yelled at by your family or housemates, best to use a backup :)
