Oh? Through which provider? Are you able to tether from them? Also, if you're paying for the devices to have independent cellular access, and they're your main devices, I don't see how RasPi could help you. You're better off using an app to block ads, trackers and such.

so you need Pi-Hole and pfSense running on it…

//

gateway to the outside? To block things or to protect yourself?

//

you run it on the server and monitor what's bubbling up. If it's Apache, get nginx. If it's php, use php-fpm, if it's something else, tell us and we'll tell you how to fix it! :)

DDGs?

ooh use Dash. Forget about htop. Use Dash. One of my favorites! https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash

I can send you my Dash and Dash 2.0 links if you wanna see how it looks :)

or you could install htop, stare at it for a while and then do nothing.

ads? What're those? Here, meet my good friend uBlock.

fair enough, I don't mind having to go to someone's blog from just reading the headline. Would just like to follow someone talking about it!

Can someone recommend a Linux news indie blogger? Someone who would cover the news about Red Hat acquiring CoreOS and has a decent RSS feed for their blog?
