Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2…the exploration of the wilds while so vulnerable in the first game is something I’ll never get bored of while the second game just takes it to a whole other level with your power growing so immense. They still totally hold up with the extended editions!

…and from a single meme we see the great divide between Gen X/Millenials and Gen Z. Poor Toto!

The Ontario government has had a few initiatives to push smart thermostats and my area just had our water meters upgraded to smart ones. I know nothing about the water meters, but I block the Google telemetry from my Nest Thermostat (unrelated to the gov’t program) via my pi-hole at least. By definition, if you sign on to the Enbridge thermostat initiative you are agreeing to send your usage. Not really sure of the impacts of this article on Canada, but pretty chilling nonetheless!

Definitely true, but I think the problem is there’s no DNS out there that blocks everything you want. I’ve never found a DNS resolver that blocks my TV’s telemetry domains, for instance. A pi-hole on a RPi runs super cheap so the quick initial setup adding blocklists is super worth it for me at least.

Dragon Age: Origins. Haven’t played since it’s release and wanted something in the same vein as the original Baldur’s Gate…does not disappoint!

The lite version has 4 fewer trackers and 20-ish fewer requested permissions…still pretty crazy. Check them out on Exodus

“Oh my god! We’re having a fire! Sale!”

Check out the Star Trek theme for PiHole! It’s one of the default options.
