  • Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but Unifi gateways can install NextDNS with a script provided by NextDNS. It’s all the same lists as Pi-Hole, and possibly more intelligent ones, too. Bonus points are it makes every device in your home use encrypted DNS, as well!

    I’m using it on a Dream Machine Pro, and the new Cloud Gateway Ultra.

    I saw it with the exact same expectations, and really enjoyed season 1 of both of those shows.

    Spoilers below:

    Spoilers below:

    Part one was so damn good, part 2 started strong then slipping, part 3 was just fully off the rails, nothing matters.

    Part one did such an excellent job of starting strong and very fast. Her first partner getting immediately domed, the plastic wrapped house, the weird “intuition” test, and slowly getting up to speed on Longlegs. You’re just given hints of whats happening. No date of when but Bill Clinton’s photo in the FBI, the news papers saying Oregon, its just the right amount to keep you mouthing “wtf is going on.”

    The birthday part in all was lame, especially once it was explained. When the black head of station dude’s daughter asked her to come to her birthday, blatant foreshadowing…

    Then finding out it’s actually Satanic and nonsense…and that hollow balls inside doll heads are responsible… The twist with her mom…when the camera pans to Longlegs car in her garage, I was like oh neat…its her mom that’s the twist…

    Nic Cage was a decent pick, but that wasn’t eerie or creepy weird. That was just plain goofy. Everyone in my theater laughed when he was driving in the car screaming mommy like he was a rock star front man. The entire thing with Trex songs was random and didn’t fit the theme of anything?!

    I feel like none of the satantic plots were ever finished, too. The quotes from Revelation never went anywhere, why any of it started, why dolls with spooky metal, hollow balls?!

    Such a let down, I agree with the first draft opinion.













  • I thought the same, but then saw articles where the writers basically assumed the same. Then either through polls, or using a vanilla audio setup, like headphones only no EQ, they realized a lot of big name directors just suck and they actually tune the movie’s audio to be like that.

    Your home theater setup is just so well fine-tuned, it can negate a lot of it. Mine is too, and I hear a lot of movies’ dialog way better at home.

    I have 5.1.2 Atmos, speakers are in walls/ceiling so no behind echo, multipoint microphone tuned, and my Yamaha receiver has an “A.I. dialog boost.” (Its years old before AI blew up like it currently is). The AI boost actually does an incredible job with a proper tuned center channel.
