  • Sound is a wave, a vibration, from a source. That wave “vibrates” through a medium like air, brick, water or glass and enters you ear canal vibrates your ear drum and you hear it as sound. The density of the material it travels through, the distance from the source and the amount of energy of the sound affect the quality of what you hear. It is omnidirectional from the source, where there are less dense objects in the way is the direction you will hear the best. Reason why you can hear airplanes thousands of feet away: theres very little in the way to block or disturb the energetic waves propagated from turbines.




  • I felt the same way about youtube, streaming, shopping and general browsing: too many ads. Ruins the content. I set up a pi-hole as an experiment to see if it would do what it said and what others said about it. Manage your expectations here. Pi-hole works well for blocking a lot of static information and ads in your browser and a lot of apps on iOS and Android. It does not block video ads on Youtube or Hulu, it does not block ads for Roku or Firestick or Smart TV apps for example, it just does not work because of the technical limitations of how the PiHole software is designed. Using a regular PC with adblock browser extension installed as well gets rid of 99% of ads including video ads from adcdns. PiHole is incredibly easy to setup and install, the pay off in quality of life is enormous. I cannot recommend it more to someone that has a little networking knowledge base. If you can figure out how to port forward and run a handful of command lines you can complete a pihole setup in an hour.
