You should also consider disabling root login, that will also do the trick

Set pubkey authentication and whitelist for specific ip adresses? This will just spam your logs

Algorithm can be ok, but users of instance should be notified that there is some filtering in their instance when registering for that instance. Transparency is always good, users should choose and have power over their content, thats all I'm trying to say

As I said there is middle ground for this, either way I think users should know if they don't see some content because of filtering, and have guide on how to turn it off

Still I think that user shouldn't be lazy and do it by him/herself, its so easy to be done. There is also case of some bots spamming 5/6 toots once a day in second and users want to see those toots but algorithm denies them of that content, how do you make algorithm that fits everyone needs? I think mastodon is cool because I can see everything and moderate things myself, even if I am not instance admin.

Some middle ground would be for instance admins to come up with some blocklists and give users option to use it or not, and show users how they can unblock or block more content.

Users shoud know that they have power to moderate content they see in their timelines. I wouldn't like some alghorithm or instance admin to choose what I can or can't see. Teach users that they have power to block/mute anything they don't like, thats how it should be done imo.

After a lot of thinking, I've decided to keep my Google account. The truth is, I get a kick out of knowing that real people view my Docs / Drive files whenever they want. Who wouldn't want this?

I also enjoy being tracked by nonfree JavaScript, as employed by companies such as Google. As nonfree JavaScript is non-extendable or auditable by third parties, I consider it better than open-source.

I will also be switching to Chrome browser, and I will upload my passwords to Google shortly. I will also upload the phone number of myself and my contacts to Google's servers, as I believe the recent lawsuits Google have been a subject of are FAKE NEWS.

In light of this, I will stop using @Qwant and opt into tracking by using Google search. The truth is I just like being tracked. Who am I to judge? I have nothing to hide, so I don't care.

I also encourage website owners to employ proprietary mechanisms such as Google's reCAPTCHA. As this technology trains Google's AI, I think it will help Google make money from my hard work. I'll give my work to Google for free, and believe that they are giving reCAPTCHA away for free to help random people.

Also, I will be flashing the stock ROM back onto my device. Then, I can let Google store my IMEI and other personally identifiable information about my character. If they want to build an online profile of me, then I encourage them to do so.

You should also enable Location History, so Google can track which locations you visit. Install Google Fit, so Google can understand how you move about in your day-to-day life.

You can install dnscrypt-proxy and set pihole to use it as dns resolver, then in dnscrypt proxy you can specify what upstream resolver you want. Just set dnscrypt-proxy to listen on other port than 53. You have guide here:
github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/wik

There is also automatic update script for dnscrypt-proxy here:
github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-p

NextDNS for DoH with dnscrypt-proxy, or you can have anonymized dnscrypt with some reliable providers

Seems like my RPi is off, its IP isn't changed because I've setup python script to notify me if it is. Maybe SD card finally died after 1.5 years? Whats life expetancy of SD cards on Raspberry Pi 3?

@kravietz
True, but those are pools that we are talking about. This is case of miner that has some percentage of hash rate in that pool, still seems like you need long period of time for this strategy of crypto washing to work, for you to be that specific miner that got block reward. Unless you have some serious hash rate, then I guess you don't have to wait too long. Maybe I understood something wrong about how individuals in pools share block rewards?

This is major flaw if cryptocurrency such as eth want to achieve mass adoption. Regulators won't like that. So basically person puts transaction with condition not to broadcast it until he mines it himself? How much time does one need to wait on average? My guess is pretty long even with good hash power
