Wow that’s so interesting. I’m excited to try it, thanks for showing me some cool new ideas.

Spearmint!?

The version I’m specifically using is Adhuard Home, which runs on a raspberry pi that sits between your home network and the internet. Basically just like Pi Hole. So it will filter the DNS queries on your devices, including smart TV.

One of the options for a blocklist was specifically labeled as Smart TVs, so I’m presuming that one would take the fuss out of watching the logs and choosing which requests to block. This list is likely available for pi hole too, so that feature wouldn’t be unique. I know sometimes these will also block firmware updates, so that’s something to watch for.

Would anyone be willing to offer their opinion on a comparison with Adguard Home?

Last week I was upgrading an old pi hole installation and ultimately decided to switch for awhile. Found the wild card blocking on Adguard to be quite nice for the pop ups that point out you’re using an ad blocker.

But really the more technical details are a bit out of my wheel house, so if anyone could weigh in perhaps if with this new version one of them has clearly pulled ahead or they are so similar it doesn’t really matter?

P for power?

Great call, you have to be careful that you get the color version!

I lost my original copy and when I replaced it, there was no more color. Had to return that one to find one with color. I think it adds so much.

The Knife of Never Letting Go has a couple cool sections with fonts where as the action is rising you start turning pages faster.
