    Oh man I'm imagining a group of dads standing around diagnosing problems with small engines or fixing wobbly chair legs or something. I know I'm getting old because this is exactly something that I would kill a few weekend hours doing if I had something like this in my area.

    I consider this an ice cold take but I proudly wear my tinfoil hat when I say I'm pretty sure Musk took money to destroy twitter.

    I'm about to implement piHole on my home network and have the hardware on my list but holy smokes this might be a little out of my realm of expertise. Even with youtube this is pretty intimidating. Most tutorials I've seen assume the viewer already has a basic working knowledge of pi/home networking so they jump straight into it and I'm like "oh god either he skipped about 24 steps or I am completely lost here". Don't get me wrong, I'm fine following most tutorials but with this stuff I feel like an idiot. "Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I'm just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me!"
    If anyone has any resources for this (specifically piHole for blocking ads on a home network) "for dummies" I'd be forever grateful.

    Wait, are you telling me there are other ways to have online discussions that don't involve personal insults?
