Another big hit to the piracy scene :(
disagree. I don’t have a Pi Hole because i don’t have a raspberry pi, but i do have a couple apps for dns based filtration on the iphone ( dnscloak or lockdown for example ) and that + hyperweb has never come anywhere close to what ublock can do on desktop. still tap somewhere on a website and then a whole new tab opens and it’s an add for realtors at shockingly low prices and i go back to the original tab and try to tap the play button and the same thing happens again and i have to do it 3 times and it’s just a nuisance. Using a site that just doesn’t have ads though, works great! + movie web is selfhostable, so no matter what at any point in the future even if they put ads on their main instance you can spin up your own and not have that problem.
Mainly on ios im just sideloading itorrent and using stremio web to get magnet links and then playing them in vlc though: Using a website at all is kinda a mediocre way to watch something. That’s not something i’d tell other people to do though cause it’s kind of a chore and requires a vpn and all that.
You don’t need to have a Raspberry Pi in order to use Pi-Hole, you can just use a normal computer running Linux. I obviously agree with you though, I just got an iPhone X a few weeks ago and it’s super underwhelming, even with JB.
