Shoulda done this way sooner. It's astonishing how much they all try to spy on you.
In short, the pi-hole is a DNS server that acts like your 1GB hosts file on its own by blocking whatever domains you feed it. You can use it as an adblocker, a malware domain blocker or something that just blocks all sorts of gov't/telemetry servers from botnetting you.
I already use ublock origin, so I don't really get any requests to advertising servers, meaning my blocked request log is pretty small so far. But in 12hrs, Microshit has tried to send away my data a total of 400 times:

I strongly advise you set something up like this ASAP.

It's a one-line install script on most major linux platforms. Use it on a Pi, one of my friends is currently setting it up on his Ubuntu Laptop. Doesn't matter, just get it up and running.
