Ugh. Roku was one of the platforms with fewer ads.

  • Roku will be adding more ads to the home screens of its devices and TVs in the near future.
  • The ads will be interactive and 'shoppable' and will cover a range of industries, including restaurants and cars.
  • Roku already has a significant amount of ads on its home screen, and it is unclear if users will be able to change their preferences for the new ads.

I block logs.roku.com and cloudservices.roku.com on my pihole without impacting any functionality.

    Is there a good resource to learn how to install that kind of a system for a person who's tech knowledge ends at one semesters worth of C++?

    I set one up. My IT skills begin and end with being a millennial that had to troubleshoot what I wanted to get to work before App stores.

    You'll be fine in general searching "Pihole setup (insert OS here)". Some minor troubleshooting was necessary in my case, could be an ID10T issue though.

    Yes setting up a Pi-Hole should be pretty doable for someone like you. I can't recomend a specific tutorial off the top of my head, but there should be plenty to find.

    You mainly need a pi running raspbian or a pc running some debian based distro.
