  • They’re not specifically targeting their protests to inconvenience the influencers, politicians or industries supporting the licensing of Big Oil. The majority targets making a large spectacle, with a significant amounts of criminal damage - something to become news-worthy.

    Not once have I seen them promote alternative policy changes for oil & gas use. They’re also not promoting projects dealing with climate change.

    They’re certainly getting exposure, but they’re not winning the public vote. I agree with their cause, but I despise their methods.
















  • Sounds like the DNS TTL (Time to Live) is set extremely low, preventing clients caching the record. Each time your browser makes a request (such as updating the graphs), it’s submitting a new DNS query each time.

    According to this post, this is intentional behaviour for PiHole to support situations where you change a domain from the block to allowed. The same post also references the necessary file modifications, should you wish to extend the TTL regardless.

    The only downside you’ll notice is a delay after whitlisting a domain, and it actually being unblocked. You’ll need to wait for the TTL to expire. Setting it to something like 15 minutes would be a reasonable compromise.
