pi-hole dashboard showing 12.7% of queries were blocked

Finally got round to setting up pi-hole. Less than a day in and I’m fascinated by the data, not just the amount blocked (one-eighth!), but also what’s making those calls. Does my TV really need to call home every few minutes?

There are two things that concern me about the current (non) lockdown:

  1. Johnson just cannot take the hard decisions but foists it on others to make the hard decisions about cancellations and closures.
  2. I don’t have enough booze stockpiled for 14 days self-isolation.

While Halloween might have been fun I’m most looking forward to leaving a small glass of sherry and a mince pie out for Father Brexit, only to discover he hasn’t come tonight. (Sadly it might be the last time I can do this.)

I tried the neural net at Talk To Transformer to see if it could offer some insight on what happens next. Doomed.
