How do I Pihole, I have an old netbook, can I turn that into one somehow. I hope so because I have one.

Get a supported version of Linux on there, give it a static IP on your LAN, install Pihole by following the guide at

https://pi-hole.net/

Update the DNS ip that your router gives out to the IP of your netbook, and voilà, most ads can't load any more.

Even mobile phone apps that have ads won't show the ads when you're connected through your home network.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
