Running OpenWRT you may want to look into using dsnmasq to do the DNS blocking. From what I have seen there are a number of hosts files that can be used to populate dnsmasq so it blocks the windows spying. And hopefully this doesn't summon APK but one can setup a cron job to automatically populate block lists with various host files sources in OpenWRT which is what I do and it stops a lot of the crap on all devices. If looking for some host files to incorporate check out the source section of this page.
That however won't stop traffic to hard-coded IPs so there you would have to create some outbound firewall rules for the WAN interface that block traffic to specific IPs but that shouldn't be all that difficult
Your experience sounds not all that different from mine, permission wise but I don't charge as I know the people who ask. My wife is a quilter and has published several quilt books and so have some of her quilt friends. As I have some really nice photo gear I am often told to help out and take pictures of quilts and projects to help out. I still use film so I do ask that they pay for the film and developing costs but I deliver to them some very nice pictures and just request that I be properly credited, so I have around 200 photos that are credited to me.
No Lexus vehicles are made in the US. While not the article that immediately jumped to my mind, that one is long forgotten from the 90s when I read that they were making them at an Oldsmobile plant, it does however indicate that Lexus vehicles aren't exclusively made in Japan.
Generally everyone should have a side job of some scope-- it is how you become a "1%er", but more importantly it is how you diversify mentally and financially.
I guess I am in that position. I will help my brother-in-law out with his business as apparently finding someone who can solider 2 pipes together and have them not leak who is also dependable is almost impossible. So once a month I work a weekend for him so he as the owner and only real worker (like I said I work for him 1 weekend a month) can have a weekend off. I'm on call 24x7 and he pays me $5 bucks and hour to have the phone on and then I get $30/hr min 1hr to go fix something.
Weak. I have gone on some binges where I have pulled in over 100GB in a few hours, granted that was doing GIS with multiple large data sets some of which were high res aerial photos. Then there was 2 weeks ago when I wanted to play around with fire walling and securing various OSes so I downloaded a number of OS install ISOs in a few hours. Granted that was only like 10 different ones but it was still in the 10s of gigs and then there were the updates (VMs are fun).
What the hell is it doing making RPC calls or is that just because of how things in windows are bundled?
Yes that is a serious question as the only thing I still have the joy of dealing with that uses RPC is some boxes that still use NFS and those are ancient machines that I want to go set on fire out in the swamp behind my work.
Sounds similar to the farmer I get my beef from although he has only been on his farm for 37 years. His tractor is a John Deere Model D from the 60s. The thing still runs great and is well maintained. He is debt free and has a lot of toys, he has taken to collecting and restoring Corvettes. He only has a 40 acre farm so having a huge combine isn't needed as he just sileages the alfalfa he grows for his cattle.
What was the problem with just smoking a joint, eating a couple of Twinkies, and going to sleep? Was that a problem? They say marijuana leads to other drugs. No it doesn't, it leads to fucking carpentry. That's the problem, folks. People getting high going, "Wow man, this box would make an excellent bong! *snort* This guy's head would make an excellent bong! *snort*" Relax! That's why I stopped doing drugs in the first place. Not because I didn't like 'em, but because I didn't want to build anything, ok?

Hey the Gideons put them there and the message inside the front cover even states that you can take it.

To be fair Trump has similar stances on encryption so don't expect any change there.
but the coaches of perennially shitty teams like the Vikings
Hey we don't pay the coaches more here we instead build them a new giant fucking stadium because the owner says he might move the team.
Hey I like my rainbows of death.

For most of the lacking functionality you could probably drop in GNU WIN and be good.

For me it will always be associated with The General Lee.

Somewhere earlier in the thread someone mentioned that CASE IH doesn't, so go buy a red and black tractor instead of a green and yellow one.
So I'll buy a John Deere and use it as my daily driver.
Fuck no.

Hey I like The Expendables for what it was, 103 minutes of pure brain melt with a plot shallower than the pool my kids play in.
I would add GATTACA to that list.
So I'm not the only one who hated CGI Yoda (Clone Wars series exempted).
I would go with:
polished turd
but then I would say the same about the DNC.
... so small that Intel would beg to license its miniaturization technology.
Of all the days to not have mod points. I like that statement much like this one I saw years ago:
... sucks harder than a black hole with daddy issues.
but that at least looked like work.
what purpose does the DHS serve
You could have just stopped there.

If you type "Null Island" into the search, it takes you to the Library of Congress. I find that humorous.
I did the same and I believe that google maps may be off about 200 meters.
I would love to see that but after wasting about half an hour searching I couldn't find it but if someone can find it I would love to see it.
