Kinda sorta Ian Hubert. He does "lazy tutorials" which are like 1 to 5 minute speed runs of different VFX tricks. There's not really enough detail to recreate what he's doing unless you're already pretty proficient, but it's cool to watch and get the creative juices flowing.

I thought the Tiffany video was pretty meh, but the followup video about how the Tiffany video got made was one of his best. He's clearly a thorough and passionate researcher. The way he refuses to settle for anything less than the primary source is both entertaining and vitally important in our modern information landscape.

Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I'm looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will also cover the apps on my smart TV.

I run most of my self hosted services on a proxmox server, so I'd like something that'll run as an LXC container or a VM. I'm also vaguely aware that various competing applications have come out since pi-hole first gained popularity. Is pi-hole still the best thing going, or are there better options?
