    - too true. -- nm - colin Oct 5, 09:08

  - me too. it really shows the trumpification of PA. PA haaaaaates NJ and oz is so clearly a NJ resident but can win bc "trump said so"? ugh. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 08:45
  - I guess there’s a lot of attack ads about him? He’s still net positive, but Fetterman’s unfavorables went up a lot. -- nm - Tim Oct 5, 08:43 12
    - literally every ad I get on hulu is "fetterman wants to free every criminal..." -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 08:45 11
      - Same campaign here. I don't like that so many people are out on bond either, but uh, that's called due process people. -- nm - Qale Oct 5, 09:04
      - And they have some good comments that they can distort/take out of context from Fetterman's role as the Chair of the Board of Pardons. -- nm - Dano Oct 5, 08:49
      - It's the GOP's #1 position this election "Dems are soft on crime" -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 08:47 8
        
        Seeing the same thing here in IL against the governor. The opposite ads are hammering home abortion. -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 09:29 1

        Zeldin’s entire campaign here is that NYC is a crime infested hellhole run by criminals. -- nm - Tim Oct 5, 08:49 5
        
        Yup. The message is doing very in suburban areas (because of course). -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 08:50 4
        
        It’s a message that breaks down when you investigate it, but it works on white people. - Tim Oct 5, 09:06 3
        
        Yup. My friend from Brooklyn that now lives in CT was saying he heard NY is as bad as it was in the 80s and I got so upset with him for believing the - Krusty Oct 5, 09:26 2

  - R-leaning pollster: Hochul 51, Zeldin 45 - Tim Oct 5, 08:45 2
    - if Zeldin bests Hochul, I will chop both my legs off. -- nm - Jovian Oct 5, 08:58 1
      - It's closer than it should be. I don't know where she's polling well but I can say she's not well known enough and well liked enough in the city. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 09:09
Today is pointless jumping through hoops day. Got it. -- nm - spamlet Oct 5, 08:29 3

Sore throat, no fever. It's not only my favorite Dylan song, it's my current symptoms. I'll test for covid, sure, but I suspect it's not. -- nm - Qale Oct 5, 07:56 4
- thats what I basically have (though its moving towards a chest cold). also no covid positives on the tests. - tRuMaN Oct 5, 08:05
- Hopefully not. Feel better. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 07:58 2
  - Reported cases here are super low. It's more reasonable it's seasonal, bad air quality, or just a good old-fashioned cold. -- nm - Qale Oct 5, 08:01 1
    - That's good. Hopefully you're feeling well for the weekend. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 08:12
Colin: You mentioned yesterday that there was a way to block ads on the network. What do I need to do that? A Raspberry Pi? - Krusty Oct 5, 07:39 18
- My NAS (synogy ds221+) can run Docker images, so I can run the pihole image that way IIRC. But I also have raspberries pi I could use. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 08:22 2
  - I really should set up my NAS that's been sitting in my closet for like a year now. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 08:31
  - What it does is capture DNS lookups and breaks the ones that look like ad domains. It really sped things up the time I tried it. - Beryllium Oct 5, 08:26
- now, if you're watching on a computer, ublock origin gets almost all the ads out. pihole just cleans things up for all devices. -- nm - colin Oct 5, 07:48 3
  - Yeah, I use that on my laptop but the ads on my TV are really annoying me. - Krusty Oct 5, 07:51 2
    - it's touch an go with youtube, but hulu, it's pretty tidy. google is smart.. you gotta keep your definitions up to date. -- nm - colin Oct 5, 07:52 1
      - Got it! Thanks! Hopefully I can get it running with no issues and get lucky that it works for my needs on YouTube. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 08:14
- granted, the ability to find a raspberry pi right now is pretty limited. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 5, 07:42 6
  - Yeah, a quick search and links for their site show them sold out everywhere. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 07:50 4
    - i have a pi zero i will NEVER use if you want it -- nm - colin Oct 5, 07:51 3
      - I have a Chrombook I'm likely never going to use and I'll give that a try first. I know I can install Ubuntu on it which can run Pi-hole. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 07:53 2
        
        ok, LMK.. i'll send it on if that doesn't work. btw, better for it to have a wired connection. -- nm - colin Oct 5, 08:35 1
        
        Thanks. I can wire the connection, no problem there. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 08:38
  - it'll run nicely on a pi zero. high utilization, but if that's all you're doing... -- nm - colin Oct 5, 07:48
- PiHole is the software. It's basically building a Raspberry Pi as a homemade web server and running all your internet through it. -- (link) - spamlet Oct 5, 07:40 3
  - Thanks! Since buying a Raspberry Pi is not an option as they're sold out everywhere I could use my old Chrombook which can load Ubuntu. - Krusty Oct 5, 07:49 2
    - It should be able to run on just about any one ever produced, honestly. - spamlet Oct 5, 07:50 1
      - Good to know, thanks for the info! -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 08:14

Say Judge hits 1 more home run this season...which ball will be worth more do we think; the record breaking 62 or the new record ball at 63? -- nm - Beaker Oct 5, 07:14 2
- My guess would be #62. Also, I'm pretty sure he's not playing tonight. He's played in something like 55 straight games. Time for a rest. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 07:18 1
  - no rest, only hit home runs -- nm - colin Oct 5, 07:19
