Today we kick off #TeamSPS TechJam 2020! We have 31 presenters leading sessions that “follow the sun” with our teams around the world! The event is framed in with a Hackathon and Deep Racer competition! We are embracing remote with all activities online! 🙌
This graph of DNS requests by client at our cabin is a good example of how metadata and privacy interact. When did we get there? How many people were there? All reasonable things that you could derive from this metadata.
Just upgraded one of my Pi-Hole servers to v5.0! All went completely smooth. The new group filtering is interesting. I may put all my Apple TV’s in a group and restrict the DNS dramatically for example. Maybe block all for some Smart Home stuff and only whitelist what it needs.
I liked the privacy and security benefits of having a Pi-Hole at home so much that I decided to put one in the cabin too. Next up cable management. 😁
Our kids are doing REM5VR Youth Innovation Lab PLUS. I’m impressed with the content, and they are enjoying it. This is a great idea to augment the learning at home experience.
I find it interesting that my Pi-hole blocks 10-20% of DNS requests made when nobody is home. Average of 200 DNS requests every 10 mins when nobody is home, and 20-40 of those are some form of tracking. 😠
Would be pretty nifty to get a Zoom app for Tesla. 😁
In this time of Covid-19 it would be a good gesture for Xfinity, AT&T, and other broadband and wireless carriers to remove data transmission caps on customers.
The top blocked domain that my Pi-Hole is protecting me from every day is api.segment.io. That isn’t a web browser thing that 1Blocker could even block. It is API calls embedded, I suspect, in iOS Apps. I love having multiple layers of surveillance blocking!
