ads
so i'm running centos7 now. am pretty happy. except for the ads. ads? wtf? i thought i killed them. oh wait. i did. on windows. by pointing the worst offenders at localhost in the hosts file. heh. so i copied the diy ad blocking from windows hosts to centos7 hosts and voila! my web pages are full of gray sad faces again. yay! no really sad faces are good. that means there's no auto-play video running. and no annoying run me cause you happened to mouse over me popup ads. well maybe not no. but certainly a whole lot less. hrm. i suppose i could run a web server that always returns a smiley face. that'd be cute. hrm.
