POV) You use Windows 11 and set up Pihole for the first time. - eviltoast

This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

    Oh no worries- I didn’t think you were. Just so many people jump on the “ALL DATA COLLECTION IS SPYING!” bandwagon they don’t realize there can be a perfectly rational reason for doing so that doesn’t reduce down to “The Deep State is watching everything you do!”

    Besides, they do that at your telecom anyway.

      Lol. Yep. Unless you do vpn. As a dev myself I know the need for telemetry in ever more complex things nowadays. Without a ton of data how should you improve or fix your thing. But i would never collect data that would not be my beeswax. But i also understand how tempting it might be 😔
