我刚刚卸载了 Pi-hole。它在某种程度上毁了我的生活。我有一个非常紧急且官僚化的事务需要处理，这涉及到预约。我好几个月以来，每天都在尝试寻找可用的预约时间段。我感到沮丧和绝望。这是一个非常官僚化、令人讨厌的流程。支持团队很糟糕，我完全被卡住了。在尝试了所有我能想到的浏览器组合、关闭扩展和设备后，我最终错过了截止日期。然后我昨天在手机上随意查看了一下那个网站，它竟然能正常访问了。有可用的预约时间段（虽然对我来说已经没用了）。我抓耳挠腮地想弄明白到底是怎么回事。显然，该网站依赖于一些追踪器，而这些追踪器的数据被用来在表单请求中发送访问者的位置。这绝对是糟糕的工程设计。但无论是什么原因，我一直都没弄明白，因为我禁用了浏览器扩展、更换了浏览器、测试了不同的设备，但我始终在使用 Pi-hole 的 DNS。Pi-hole 的整个架构是“设置好就不用管了”——而我却忘了它的存在。现代网络依赖于无数侵犯你隐私的系统。你越注重隐私，你的互联网体验就越糟糕。有些人会屏蔽 JavaScript、屏蔽一切，或者只使用 Tor。我有时觉得那些人为了安全而牺牲了更舒适的生活。我认为，只使用一个广告拦截器扩展就足够了。在隐私方面，我们已经无可奈何了。现代网络的框架基本上就是：同意或退出。没有太多其他的选择。也许是我太笨了。也许我应该早点想明白。但我认为，融入主流互联网可能会让你获得比高度注重隐私更顺畅的体验。

I just uninstalled Pi-hole. It kind of ruined a little bit of my life.I had a very time-sensitive and bureaucratic thing to do. It involved making an appointment. I've been trying to find an available slot multiple times a day for months. I was frustrated and desperate.It's one of those highly bureaucratic, annoying processes. The support team is horrible, and I was completely stuck.After trying every combination of browsers, turning off extensions and devices I could think of, I eventually missed the deadline. Then I randomly checked the site on my phone yesterday, and it was working. There were appointment slots available (even though it didn't help me anymore).I tore my hair out trying to figure out what had happened.Apparently, the site relied on some trackers, and data from those trackers was used to send the visitor's location as part of the form request. Bad engineering, for sure. But whatever the reason, I never figured it out because I disabled browser extensions, switched browsers, and tested different devices but I was always using the pihole DNS.The whole architecture of Pi-hole is "set it and forget it"—and I forgot it was even there.The modern web relies on countless systems that interfere with your privacy. The more privacy-conscious you become, the more you end up hurting your own internet experience. Some people block JavaScript, block everything, or use Tor exclusively. I sometimes feel like those folks end up with a more miserable life at a cost of a secure one.I think drawing the line at an ad blocker extension is enough. We're cooked when it comes to privacy. The framework of the modern web is basically: consent or exit. There isn't much room for anything else.Maybe I'm stupid. Maybe I should have figured this out sooner. But I think being part of the mainstream internet probably gives you a slightly more frictionless experience than being highly privacy-conscious ever will.
