It's pretty much just does it.
Default settings are good.
I think you can dial in stricter block lists, but might have issues with some websites.
But you can pause PiHole for 5 minutes, allowing you to do what you need to. I think there is even browser plugins to give you an easy toggle button

If there is ever a way to continue any process without agreeing to terms, services, data processing etc: that's my default action.
I'm not going to check a checkbox unless the form forbids me from continuing without checking it - at which point, I figure out what the checkbox wants

Have you considered a doctorate?

You are probably underestimating your abilities.
People that worry about overestimating their skills mostly underestimate their skills.

If someone says they are "good" at something, I take it to mean competency and some enthusiasm.
They might make a mistake, but they won't (or at least will rarely) make it twice.
They know how to find the solution to something within that domain of knowledge. It might not be the best solution, but it will be a solution that works.
They are also aware of what they don't know in within the domain. So, they can do C++ but know they can't do embedded programming. Or they can do C#, but know they can't do game dev.

And I would take them at their word for that, until they prove otherwise.
If they are below where they claim their skill is, I would try to help them learn (unless they show no interest in improving).
If they are above where they claim, I would tell them this.

It's always hard to judge our own skills.

Cutting out swaths of code and features - without breaking other code and features - is not a small task.
It's probably more time consuming and complex than just continuing to update at a slower pace.

I have no idea, but that website is a bit of a red flag to me.

It sounds like it's some sort of file sharing service. So you can upload, share and download files from the RealDebrid servers.
A quick Google suggests it's primarily used for downloading/streaming movies, TV series etc. Essentially piracy.

Chisel, Rathole, an SSH tunnel with port forwarding, a VPN with port forwarding.
Keywords are "self hosted tunnel" or "reverse proxy over VPN".

Run a VPS for like $5 a month, your local reverse-proxy tunnels out to the VPS, and your VPS forwards port 80/443 over the tunnel to your reverse-proxy.

Damn experts, what do they know?

[–] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

I'd be careful with that if you don't properly notify them first.
They might decide to make your life hell by demanding the car back after you've given it away.

I really enjoy those "tech bros reinvent..." memes
