  • I think in colloquial usage, identifying chai as a tea type is useful. No one means green tea when they say chai tea, and using chai as a substitute for tea doesn’t make sense. In hindi, do they use chai for every tea type?

    Edit: After some cursory digging it seems like what we mean by chai tea in the anglosphere is actually masala chai, and in hindi they use <name> chai for the tea types. TIL.







  • What I like about running a dedicated physical deployment of pihole (and only pihole) is better reliability, especially when using at for DNS. If a VM host has any issues, the network will lose DNS services. This is much more likely to occur the more layers and services you run on that host.

    A friend recently had this happen while they weren’t home and their family went mad as they lost useful internet access - some necessary for remote work.
