    Well, I think you missed my earlier reply and so, I am gonna assume this is your first time on a RackNerd party thread. First of all, welcome. I was in the same boat 2 years ago. Since then, I have won 3 RackNerd participation GAs. So, my advice is keep going. RackNerd threads can get pretty crazy. You won't believe the hype when the Chef's (a mystical being that appears on RN BF threads spreading unbelievable deals, giveaways and what not) around. During those days, we usually rip through pages of comments in minutes.

    i am trying not to miss anything, that's why I am on page 33 when there's 35 pages already.. cannot catch up for all the trying.. even forgetting caps already =)

    Not an issue. Keep it up for the next few days and you will soon surpass us all.

    it is the final destination for sure..

    @MrEd I wonder when counting similarities, to you clean out all the quotes?

    Tbh, I don't mind having a few ads on sites, but nowadays, sites go absolutely crazy with the amount of ads, making the UX a pain and unbearable without an adblocker!

    That's true. Earlier, AdSense used to limit the number of ads possible on a page. Now, even they don't care, cause their Autoads itself places multiple ads on a single page.

    Join us on your phone if it's safe. Or else, reach home safely and hype it up, as usual.

    Well since I use the bus, I can use the phone :)

    I just leave everything to adguard and whitelabel those I really like and they really like or having issues with blocking.

    I won Racknerd t-shirt 2 years ago on LET that I turned into a racknerd vps. Hoping for the same luck this year :) I need to renew it any day now, so hoping for the best ;)

    Good then. I kinda do smell a giveaway. Let's see if Dustin does give us one to get the party started.

    Still use the RN T-Shirt I won 2 years ago. But, last year, they did switch up the designs and there were new colours as well. Loved them, but, couldn't get my hands on them.

    I just use adguard home or technitium and white label the end point if issues persists with some end points being blocked

    an article on TorrentFreak actually states once you start blocking stuff, it's a slippery slope.. so i personally just vigilantly avoid ads and close popups.. if you good and fast enough - popups don't harm.

    Do you remember why it's harmful to be using blockers?

    it's basically that while blocking stuff - a lot of good viable sites end up on the block lists, especially the crowd-sources ones

    @dustinc When is the restock likely for AMS and Dublin?

    Hi @hennaboy -- great question, and good timing too.

    Dublin is looking like it’ll land sooner, as in this month sooner. We’ve been pushing pretty hard on that one, and things are lining up in our favor.

    Amsterdam will follow, but Dublin is definitely poised to be the first to restock at this rate.

    Appreciate you keeping an eye on things!

    Oh,meaning it hurts their only revenue stream even though they don't do those UX-distroting ads?

    Yah, even I would love to learn what it has to say because I am curious as to what reasons they state for avoiding ad blockers.

    They are against adblockers cuz they will get less revenue then :lol:

    Seriously, that's the reason. Having been a regular TF reader, I guess, they might have other reasons. My guess is, because most websites depend on the ads revenue. And no webistes = no web.

    the only way they profit is by VPN advertising on the site, i think. no ads on TF

    I'm curious, do any of you watch twitch regularly?

    I go through spurts. Have you noticed how agrressive they've been with ads? I do use an extension but sometimes I will use mobile which I don't have a blocker on it

    That's why you use DNS level ad blocker, simplifies the life.

    I used to on my home network but it interfered with some things like news videos so I stopped. Though I really should setup a different WiFi SSID that will block ads, something like MyWiFi-Adblocker so it will be simple. I also used DNS66 on my android tablet which did a great job.

    Presently, I have to do it per device, cause my router doesn't support OpenWrt. At the pace these ads are multiplying, I might have to soon get an OpenWrt compatible router.

    Another option is to get a cheap rockpi or radxa sbc connect it to router setup adguard or technitium dns use the ip as dns resolver in router network settings.

    Thought about that as well. Do have a Luckfox Pico at home, not being used. May require some hardware mod, but, Ig, i could put it to use as an ad blocker.

    Certainly can I have seen guys using esp32 for a custom dns sinkhole.

    That's a good option as well. Those cost like under 300.

    Yup but using large blocklists are no go there.

    I think Xiaomi AX3000T is a very cheap and capble option to run OpenWrt. I personally use Podkop for PBR to route specific sites through my vpn and block all ads

    Not available here, would have really liked to own one, need to upgrade my r7000

    Lately I have been thinking maybe an Orange pi R1 running OpenWrt could replace your router. You could then add your last router as an AP/switch. Or just buy an umanaged switch. This setup could be really cheap

    Have never once used Twitch in my life. I am not a huge fan of gameplay videos.

    Aah. I watch some small minecraft streamers and i've been working on starting my own channel too

    Good luck, dude. Also check Kick and Rumble, if you are interested. Maybe try streaming to all 3. Might increase revenue.

    I only started like a week ago, so I usually only get like 1 viewer lol (my friend).

    Well, you gotta start somehwere. Keep going. The first few days, weeks or even months are tough, but, that's what separates a successful person from another who just gave up.

    Yep. My goal is to grow my channel so I can do it as a part-time/full-time job :)
    So far, I really enjoy streaming so we'll see how far i can go!

    Yeah, it seems like the current thing to do is multistream to the various platforms and then post trimmed videos to youtube/some other VOD service after the fact (if you switch games/etc.) to also capture additional views

    Restreamer to the rescue

    for those liking to Twitch, i can only recommend to untwitch

    just a nice place to download videos and watch on your time.. i don't know, i use sometimes but only allows 1hr download at a time.. good to download clips from twitch.

    Most sbc with multiple lan ports are costly here, the best option I could have gone with was getting r7000, now thinking of getting something enterprise class maybe mikrotik or something.

    I would prefer storage, but anything would work :)
