Re:Marines mobilized in response to LA protests on Monday June 09, 2025 @11:26PM (#44232149)
Being deployed to help in a disaster is very different from being deployed to quell protests.
I've lived in the Las Vegas area my entire life. I'm so glad they're doing this. Some areas of town have very little green space, especially since grass has been outlawed. Trees are a net positive, even if it isn't a silver bullet solution. I do miss the grass though, everyone in the neighborhood watering their grass at night really cooled things down but the cost is too high considering how much water is used. Trees can keep the asphalt and concrete from becoming frying pans.

Netbeans is not for real development. Sorry, I love Netbeans. I grew up using it. It just doesn't have good support for real world Java development. As for Eclipse, I'll use notepad over that any day. I've been programming in Java since highschool, 20+ years ago.

IntelliJ is the best there is for Java, warts and all.

The best way is to open up the Query Log, open up the site you want to block, and deny from there, making regex blocks are appropriate.

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier.

To block Youtube I use:

youtube-ui.l.google.com - exact

youtubei.googleapis.com - exact

(\.|^)googlevideo\.com$ - regex

(\.|^)youtube\.com$ - regex

It's probably overkill but it results in no Youtube until chores are done.

Using clients and groups works fine for me. I'm able to block youtube on my kids' devices, but allow it on others. I have pihole running in a container without being my dhcp server.
