      I don't mind ads that don't track me... static images along are fine.. sites need to make money..

      but tracking is where I draw the line!

        All plain PNGs here. Except the new ones, those are JPGs by accident. Getting those fixed shortly.

          Well that may be true - but this site still has TONS of tracking on it.. uBlock counter is over 800 right now.

            That counter rarely resets if I remember correctly. I use Privacy Badger right now, and it's only showing 16.

                  I've got Gravatar here as well, it's always been here since the before time when it was being used for avatars.

                    Any idea where DoubleClick is coming from? There is no DoubleClick here.

                      Sure, it doesn't go down, but is normally going up up up..

                        I've had the same 3 things under ghostery for quite some time. Never wondered about its origin, I just let it block stuff until it breaks a page.

                          But if it is scanning basic things like Google, and it increments with every load, of course it is going to appear high.

                              But counting Google over and over again is misleading.

                                  Got myself a server from Wholesaleinternet as well. XS6.5, guess I get to see how upgrading to 7 goes, but for now I

                                  watch cat /proc/mdstat
                                  

                                  Looks like another hour or so, not terrible. But no raid by default = sad.

                                    Going to RMA a second dsl modem later today.
                                    Different brand, different issues.

                                    I am now seriously considering the ERX, AP lite and a separate dsl modem.

                                    What's stopping you from just pulling the trigger?

                                    A few things.
                                    1). Mrs nadnerB isn't keen on having three devices for Internet access
                                    2). it's a fair bit more expensive to go that route (I need VDSL as that's the
                                    3). I'm not 100% sure if I'll get a choice of warranty swap or refund.

                                    ...
                                    blah blah blah
                                    ...
                                    Hmmmm, I might be able to work this using my current modem router as just a modem....
                                    back to the drawing board to re-evaluate and await the RMA results

                                    Now you've lost me - why would Mrs Nader see anything more than the AP? The test should be hiding in a closet somewhere. 😉

                                    Coz we turn everything off when we aren't using it.
                                    I know the AP is PoE but it's something else that has to boot.

                                    You turn off your network at night?

                                    Yes. I'm not using it and electricity is expensive. Why pay for something I'm not using?
                                    I have no VoIP and there is nothing I access remotely.

                                      Going to RMA a second dsl modem later today.
                                      Different brand, different issues.

                                      I am now seriously considering the ERX, AP lite and a separate dsl modem.

                                      What's stopping you from just pulling the trigger?

                                      A few things.
                                      1). Mrs nadnerB isn't keen on having three devices for Internet access
                                      2). it's a fair bit more expensive to go that route (I need VDSL as that's the
                                      3). I'm not 100% sure if I'll get a choice of warranty swap or refund.

                                      ...
                                      blah blah blah
                                      ...
                                      Hmmmm, I might be able to work this using my current modem router as just a modem....
                                      back to the drawing board to re-evaluate and await the RMA results

                                      Now you've lost me - why would Mrs Nader see anything more than the AP? The test should be hiding in a closet somewhere. 😉

                                      Coz we turn everything off when we aren't using it.
                                      I know the AP is PoE but it's something else that has to boot.

                                      You turn off your network at night?

                                      And if you do why? Seems like something odd to me, curious as to your reasoning.

                                      It's not being used. Pointless to keep it on for the sole purpose of not having the time to use it until I get home from work the next day. 😛

                                        Put it on a power strip.. all three things turn off by one button.

                                        Still have to wait for all three of them to boot.
                                        (notice there is a 'B' in nadnerB, Dashrende 😛 )

                                        Anyhoo, that and all the other previously said stuff is why I haven't gone that route previously.
