Why are our devices so far outside our own control that we need to run an additional device on our networks to help prevent them from making unwanted network requests?
The whole approach of Pi-hole feels misguided. Blacklisting domains and hosts should be something easily done on my device locally. Then it comes with me when I visit friends or coffee shops, and it's easy to temporarily disable when it breaks something I'm trying to use.
The fact that I can't do this on things like my phone really illustrates how little control we really have over our own computing devices.
