POV) You use Windows 11 and set up Pihole for the first time.

This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.
The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.
Oh i didn't mean to say that telemetry is inherently bad. If it really would just be totally anonymous stats the devs would need, yeah sure. Just tell me WHAT EXACTLY it is. Or gimme a preview-option before sending. But it's mostly stuff that's none of their beeswax.
The amount my pihole blocks is titanic. If I'd be paying for traffic that would make a substantial difference.
Oh no worries- I didn't think you were. Just so many people jump on the "ALL DATA COLLECTION IS SPYING!" bandwagon they don't realize there can be a perfectly rational reason for doing so that doesn't reduce down to "The Deep State is watching everything you do!"
Besides, they do that at your telecom anyway.
Lol. Yep. Unless you do vpn. As a dev myself I know the need for telemetry in ever more complex things nowadays. Without a ton of data how should you improve or fix your thing. But i would never collect data that would not be my beeswax. But i also understand how tempting it might be ๐
That's why a whole home VPN is useful.
