If blocking ads means they lose out, then i’m fine with them losing out

Am I gonna have to pay for a vpn that actually lets me fake being outside the ‘states? I usually self host on a VM host to avoid incurring expenses, but it seems like that’s not really an option here. Seems like I might have to go for a AWS instance running PiVPN or something.

Been meaning to transition to a distro with a focus on being pretty low maintainance yet not too top heavy, leaving Windows to a VM on my Proxmox server. Haven’t gotten around to it yet, since I’d need to get the server a dedicated graphics card.

Could just use WINE, I suppose, but I’m assuming it’s still as rough as it was last time I messed with it twelve years ago.
