  • Code yes, but the information, lists, and capabilities beyond that no.

    I do think it’s a low risk, but it is not zero.

    They could also do some nefarious stuff if they get bought out.

    Don’t get me wrong I hope they last and I’m just plain wrong, but pihole works great and is a bit more pure.

    About ui/ux, you are one hundred percent right. People want and demand simple. Single click install and setup is what is really needed and pihole loses resoundingly in that, especially if combined with encrypted dns request forwarding.


  • Same can be done with Pi-hole. Yes it isn’t ootb, but it is easy to do.

    There are still challenges with doh and isp packet scanning. Even without clear text dns, your isp still knows where you go, if not from the lookups. They still inspect traffic and destinations and can make very detailed inferences, even without https inspection on DoH or other packets.

    Pihole is fully for free. AdH seems to be the same for now, but it is a company running it, they want to make money. I would be a bit worried about this.

    This also doesn’t stop devices from doing their own dns over https. Adguard home and pihole will try to block the DoH locators (canaries) but can’t actually stop a tv from connecting to a known ip if it wants to.

    Don’t get me wrong. I highly recommend something, and adguard home is nice, but I’m not convinced by its the right long term solution nor does either solution provide the sum total.




  • It’s… fine.

    The sound is terrible overall, horrible mixing with some things loud and some quiet.

    Graphics are pretty but not good. Stop frame looks great, but the animation that happens over and over is terrible. Things like sheathing a sword are poorly timed and just… jarring.

    Luminance is off. It just seems to sdr to hdr expand and not add anything useful. So you have the old school grey haze on most scenes. Possibly to lower gpu use.

    You MUST turn on action mode. The pretty mode is terrible with massive frame drops.

    Battles are a mess. Could be fun, should be fun, but the graphics look like they drop to 480p with pretty colors and it’s impossible to see anything. You end up just timing button presses by rote bs what your see.

    It’s ok. If you want to see characters say the word “fuck” over and over again and that is the basis on your decision, it’s a must buy. Otherwise personally I would wait for patches and a significant sale.
