God, how do normal people even browse the internet anymore?

@starlily @alice I’m blocking around 7% of DNS queries with #pihole. My primary battle these days is with #IoT devices that want to call home every few seconds to minutes. I’m just now learning that there are IPv6 techniques for bypassing pi-hole. Other methods as well. It’s hand-to-hand combat with trackers! Worse, many of the devices simply fail if you block their WAN access.

You ever read Nightfall by Isaac Asimov? Either the short-story or the novelization of it. Both are good.
But... That. We have to do what they did.

@DavidNielsen someone asked "how do you even keep track of all your followers?" and I said I make tiny hair dolls for each one, so I can tell whenever one is out of place.
Then I spent over an hour searching for the perfect photo of a small, real human (or cat) hair effigy.
I was disappointed that I couldn't find just the right image, so I started searching for felting instructions so I could make my own.
Like a perfectly normal person.
I'm now the proud owner of this.

We had a little felt cat made out of our previous cat's hair.
This one isn't finished yet but it will probably be a hat. -

@alice Interesting approach. Although the website layout looks as if it was ad-riddled itself

@alice Didn't know that was a thing, but you know what? I would have bet you all the money in the world that there is a japanese subculture for it. Including textbooks. I'm looking forward to your cats' reaction to their felt effigies
Also praise to @DavidNielsen for asking the important questions

@alice @DavidNielsen well you can shave the cat if you're in a hurry, but it's a bit cruel.

@alice I struggle to wrap my head around the idea of parenting nowadays. So many worlds of garbage online and those companies aren't helping.

@alice @DavidNielsen that's cutely weird

A cat I used to have would produce that much in a week. We always talked about making something from his hair but never did.

@eruonna @alice @DavidNielsen there was this short video that had a young woman with a cat and a progressively larger ball of cat hair, eventually bouncing it.
