Ohh, yeah, I think that might work. I don’t really know the ins and outs of low level DNS stuff. With HTTPS that wouldn’t work unless you had some sort of self signed cert on your device, but I don’t think normal regular DNS traffic is encrypted at all. I see a lot of folks talk about the privacy aspect of it, so, yeah, maybe you can do that more easily.

Is this something Pi Hole can do by itself? (With some settings on your router as well, of course, because you already have to set it as the DNS.)

They got a bomb threat on Friday. This happened on Monday. How do you have the gall to claim anyone else of being intentionally obtuse? There was no threat.

Like I said, there’s a million things here to criticize.

This supposed accident had nothing to do with the bomb threat. It’s being used to cover up the death of a woman.

Okay, now this is an entirely different thing than the other stuff you’ve been saying. If you want to discuss that as a possibility then that’s fine.

And yes when you keep saying they were responding to a threat you are justifying it.

No lol. An officer responding to a threat doesn’t magically give them the right to run down bystanders.

Upon learning of the threat, police confirmed with Greene’s staff that she was not at the residence and assigned an officer to monitor the mailbox until the Rome/Floyd County Bomb Squad arrived, police said.

The bomb squad was notified shortly after 11 a.m. Monday and dispatched a team to respond to the bomb squad headquarters.

On the way to the headquarters in their personal vehicle, a Rome Police sergeant and bomb squad member collided with another vehicle driven by 66-year-old Tammie Pickelsimer.

I absolutely cannot deal with you. You’re being intentionally obtuse. They got a bomb threat. Yes, it ended up being fake. They didn’t know that at the time.

As dystopian as American police are, they do not have full on Minority Report style precogs using magical psychic powers to discern if a bomb threat is real or not the moment it is received.

And, again, because I feel like you’re missing my point, I’m not defending them. None of this was acceptable. I’m, literally, only saying they didn’t yet know the threat was fake. That’s it.

What the fuck am I dancing around? I was just saying that the officer was driving to the HQ and in the process of responding to a threat.

Listen, this story is fucked. There’s like a million fuck ups involved. We don’t need to make up new ones to criticize them. An officer getting into a wreck and killing someone is bad regardless of whether they’re in the process of responding to a call or not or even on duty at all. The fact that they were responding to a threat (however fucking late lmao, I would’ve expected the mailbox blown up by the) doesn’t change it. It’s stupid and awful.

I’m not dancing around anything. You’re equating people correcting that the officer was responding to a dispatch (as opposed to just driving to work as part of their commute or something) while they got into a wreck that killed someone as them saying that makes it okay, but nobody has said that. Nobody has tried to say anything anywhere close to something like this was some sort of acceptable collateral damage of the policing process lol.

Firewall would help, yeah, but I don’t think PiHole would with a hard coded DNS server.

I didn’t answer that part because it was irrelevant to anything I was saying. And no, I don’t agree that saying an officer responding to something getting into an accident “implies” it is justified. Much less do I agree that someone stating that fact means they’re implying they personally thought it was justified.

You’re telling me getting drunk and swallowing cum will make me lose weight? You drive a hard bargain. I’m in.

A Lakeland woman was charged Tuesday after police said she ended a call to an insurance company with the words, “Delay, Deny, Depose.”

They’re really saying this was a threat to commit a mass shooting??

This is a weird one, but a personal pet peeve. Assuming no one is behind you and there are already some cars at a red light ahead of you, there is no reason to accelerate. Let off the gas. Coast. Sometimes the light turns green by the time your there. If you keep accelerating and stop that’s just wasted gas.

I view the focus on Lemmy’s political opinions as a weakness for attracting new users.

No, they mean setting your DNS to an already existing ad blocking DNS. You do not need a oi hole to do that. See option 2 here https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

I do this on my router and phone. It doesn’t block everything, sure, but it blocks more than you’d think. And I didn’t have to fiddle with a raspberry Pi.

They believed there was a bomb in the mailbox. If she lives in a neighborhood that’s still potentially near other people. My mailbox is on a sidewalk that folks use from time to time.

Death Stranding

What’s the alternative? On Windows I use Rufus usually.

Where? They only said it wasn’t click bait and that the accident happened while the officer was responding. “They’re absolutely implying the death of this woman was justifiable due to an emergency.” They never ever say it was justifiable. Show me where.

and if equipment was needed it would have met them there.

Ahhh… Okay. But wait, the equipment can’t teleport or drive itself there, right? So maybe this person was doing that, getting the equipment there, so other people could drive straight there?

Tell me again why he had to kill this woman?

They never said that, lol

I’m not so sure. If I’m commuting to work that’s one thing, but if I’m responding to a page from my employer that’s different. This officer, though heading to work, was in the process of responding to the threat. They weren’t just commuting as part of their morning routine.

The article says it was someone rushing to the bomb squad HQ, not to MTG’s house. Also it says they contacted her first and she wasn’t home.

I’m not trying to exonerate them of any blame
