- Openspeedtest https://openspeedtest.com/ as a container to test random wifi speed issues

- CUPS

Experiments: - qbt for seedings ISOs

you can inspect fast.com and see this in action: It will show up something like "ipv4-c209-sea001-ix.1.oca.nflxvideo.net" Which is their openconnect [1] location in Seattle IX.

In many cases you will probably see a prefix indicating your ISP - Most ISPs with some scale host their own caches or peer with an internet exchange directly.

Incase of speedtest - its the same story most ISPs host servers locally and speedtest's website generally tests from it

Most of my ISP screw ups are involve content which isnt cached and its difficult to convey that when your netflix is able to stream 4K content easily but struggling to download a 100mb file of some AWS region :/

I sometimes use proof.ovh.net and ping.online.net to test using iperf also ec2-reachability.amazonaws.com helps debug if ISP is having issues with connecting to AWS (more open than not thats the case with mine)

Apart from some USB port selection issues there has been pretty much no problems running this for over a year

My pi hole graph started to look like - https://imgur.com/a/Jj8bmPW

NVIDIA geforce experience really wants to talk to the mothership :| Ended up uninstalling it

Example my Samsung TV took some effort : multiple domains were blocked and had to restart my TV everytime, thankfully PiHole has a neat responsive web interface. After allowing 2 domains it started to work or else it wouldnt go online.

* By a huge margin the nosiest device is my Android Phone. >40% traffic is coming from just my phone (which is crazy!)

* I have 650,000+ in my domain blacklist and folks complaining about "it doesnt work on pihole" just have taken that tiny bit of error to unblock some domains like "ssl.googleanalytics.com" which break a lot apps. It took me about 1 day to see what isnt working (ex Facebook app break if graph.facebook.com is blocked)

* On avg 28% of my requests are blocked and 42% are cached. I am quite sure generally my surfing experience is snappier

-- Things like learn running PiHole :

How prevalent tracking really is across the web. A lot of apps dont go "online" if google analytics is blocked (example Toggl)

Manufacturers like Xiaomi are spamming the network with requests - mostly for notification spam

How amazingly scalable, stable RPi+PiHole is - we ran a workshop with 150+ DHCP leases and nearly a few 100k DNS requests without a glitch. Pi didnt even heat up a bit

SmartTV are freaking noisy. Samsung TV makes ~300 DNS requests in <5 min of startup. Literally every button press in the "smart home" is tracked

-data compression (which also acts as a vpn to access blocked content)

-content feeds

$2 CPM!! That's not even close to what shitty ad networks pay. Majority of traffic comes from countries with < 5 cent CPM

HOSTING COST It's not just about running a wordpress website here. Most decent site run auto uploaders which need decent size seedboxes. Easily hovering around a thousand dollars

Sources/runners: If its a scene pre-d site you need access to some runners. Scene access isn't cheap

Changing Domains & black hat seo: These sites are constantly loosing domains and almost all google ranking ones are using black hat seo to get their ranking. Usually means paying someone to do the dirty work.

-- Some revenue streams you missed

- Pay Per Link (aka locked/paid link shortner) things like AdFly

- Background Crypto miners (becoming rather popular on streaming sites)

-'FTP ACCESS' / paid subscriptions

Still millions? Not by a long shot.. Few thousands.. Probably yes

I'll wait for the doc to update but until then :

Does it do things like IP rotation?

Is it using postfix at the backend or its a complete mail Server

What kind of list management features does it have? (i am looking to compare with interspire)

And another quick question what is ur schedule? What time do you take it?

How have managed to avoid tolerance ?
