Browse the web without advertising, without the need for extensions or anti-ads scripts. Avoiding intrusive and malicious adverts. The business model of the World Wide Web is to generate revenue in exchange for content and it is very good. The drawback is when you lose performance, bandwidth, web experience, generated by intrusive advertising. Added to data mining, it simply makes the browsing experience intolerable. There is a heterodox way to avoid annoying ads and is to configure the router, mobile device and Personal Computer. The vast majority of operating systems in the world, use Windows, so I'll take care of protecting those extremely vulnerable computers. First We Go type ncpa.cpl and modify the DNS to: 176.9.62.62 and 176.9.62.58 Keweon-DNS (as well as advertising, tracker and malware filters) IPv4: 176.9.62.62 / IPv6: 2a01:4f8:150:8023::62 IPv4: 176.9.62.58 / IPv6: 2a01:4f8:150:8023::58 Modifying the router and Wifi devices If you are a company and you modify the router you can generate conflicts with the Internet provider's policies. But if you are a natural, non-juridical person, you have the right to modify the router to your liking, to optimize the process of loading bandwidth, MTU, DNS and that's what we're going to do. According to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). There are several ways to enter the router configuration, the most generic 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, 10.0.0.1, another alternative is to talk to the administrator and ask for the username and password. DNS Section: 176.9.62.62 & 176.9.62.58 for LAN 176.9.62.58 & 176.9.62.62 for WAN In the mobile devices is a little easier, just search in advanced network configuration, Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP), click on Properties press for 10 seconds your wifi user and manually modify your local network, subnet mask, the gateway and DNS. Thank's for your attention.

I started this blog several weeks ago as a source of inspiration and motivation as I begin my career transition journey. After a little bit of success I have hit a snag. I am struggling to "re-brand" myself and pivot my career experiences to a different career path. Photo by Tom Sodoge on Unsplash You might say that this should be simple and your right. However, where I am struggling is I am not sure what I am trying to pivot to. Perhaps I can blame my liberal arts education that exposed me to many different ideas, topics, and issues that I feel going in one particular direction will close me off to many other areas. I have found that this hurts when I am networking and people ask me what I am interested in doing? According to many career sites, this should be a fairly easy and straightforward question that can be answered in a couple of sentences...

I've been into computers for a fair while - pretty much all of my life. Yet I've never really been into the hardware, and haven't ever built my own PC. With some recent struggles with my laptop I decided it was time to build a proper personal use desktop. Intro For the past couple of years I've been using an HP Envy Laptop. It has served me quite well, though a number of issues have cropped up recently. First, the battery can't hold a charge anymore. This isn't so much of an issue for me, as I almost always use a laptop at a desk with a nearby power supply...

Over the years we buy many things that we use for various purposes, and some of these things become favorites that we replace with new items of the same kind as the old ones get worn out. Until we are (surprise!) no longer able to do so, because the favorites have disappeared from the market. Sometimes it is possible to easily find a usable replacement, other times it is more difficult, even impossible (and the search can get expensive). Below are some favorites of mine that have disappeared from the market. Behind-the-neck headphones While for many years I used small on-ear, over-the-head headphones, when I discovered behind-the-head headphones, especially Sony's, they quickly became my favorites, specifically the one set I found with a retractable cord, as well as the foldable ones. Unfortunately, it seems Sony has stopped producing these headphones, at least the wired variation, as have most other manufacturers, and the last (low quality) set I have is now nearing end-of-life. I do notice that there are some small shops in Norway selling headphones like these, but they all lack iPod remote control functionality. I also found listings of similar Sony headphones on Amazon, but considering that Sony does not presently list any wired behind-the-neck headphones I have not looked closer on those listings as I suspect they are actually years-old leftover registrations that are no longer for sale. For the iPod it seems that the only real option is the Bluetooth variations (see below), but I also use such headphones with my stationary computers, too, and I don't want to add Bluetooth connectivity to them (Paranoia mode: I'd rather not have any wireless connections to them, at all). I might try out those small Norwegian shops to get some behind-the-head headphones to my computers (don't need remote controls for those). The Classic iPod remote control Years ago I replaced my Walkman. First with a Discman, and then started using various MP3 players, and eventually started using iPod players. Among the benefits of the iPod players was the (Radio) remote control that you could fasten in an easily accessible location on your jacket, sweater, or t-shirt (unlike in the classic iPod ad, I carry the iPod in a pocket or my bag, not in my hand). Like all mechanical items, the remote control eventually wore out, so I replaced mine multiple times until I was no longer able to find them since Apple had stopped producing them. Various headphones did fill in the void with a simpler kind of remote control, but these are mostly either the earbud type (which I do not like; I only have one set of earbuds, the noise-canceling headphones I use when flying), or the gigantic over-the-ear-and-over-the-head headphones, none of them are of the wired on-ear, behind-the-neck type I prefer. As far as I can tell the only current alternatives for behind-the-neck headphones with remote controls are the Bluetooth variants (frequently with an unnecessary microphone), which is a problem since the iPod does not have that capability, or start using a (new) phone (won't be an Apple phone) as an MP3 player instead. I have discovered that there are Bluetooth adapters for the iPod, but I worry that they do not provide good enough sound quality. The reason for this worry is that some years ago I tried a third-party iPod remote control, which also could use a Bluetooth connection to your phone...

I have an idea: what if we make a special map for lost / found pets? If you lost your dog, you can just select a possible search area and when some finds your pet, he can contact you to tell that your pet is OK. People who often walk a dog can check the list of missing animals and if they see a missing dog, they can inform the owner. What do you think? PetsMap, a map of lost and found pets It was many years ago... Winter, wild siberian frost... A girl hurries to training. It's her job, she can't be late...

So, I have now stepped out of my comfort zone and have started the transition. What I am struggling with at the moment is how to translate my skills and experiences onto a paper. Yes, it is that resume and cv that is just starting at me on the other monitor. The blinking cursor taunting me as I ponder what to write. Photo by Mika Baumeister on Unsplash What makes this difficult for me is my career has largely been defined in a more qualitative way and the paper is screaming for numbers; sales up 20%, cost savings of 15%, recruited 8 new employees, operational efficiency maximized by 12% and so on. As I work in the world of softer issues my skills have much more to do with culture, comfort, and adaptability than hard numbers favored by today's job search algorithms. I feel I bring much more to the table than just numbers. Now, how can I get that on paper?...

Hi guys, In the Tokyo area, the public transportation system is extremely efficient. More than 20 seconds of delay is regarded as "delay," and all trains run in time within 15seconds of the time window. At the same time, the railway matrix is too complicate to understand even if you are a native Japanese speaker. When I visit Akihabara area to buy some electronics materials, I always see a lot of foreign people are standing in front of a ticket vending machine to look for their destination. So I will try to dissect Tokyo railway systems and explain all of you. Please Feel free to ask me your questions and let me know your ideas. Basic rules Several companies are engaged in train systems. JR lines, formerly JNR (Japan national railways) are now divided into six different private companies...

Fun with delegates Can a method be passed as a parameter to another method in C#? Sure... Why not... Part One (basics): The official definition of delegate is: A delegate is pointer to a function. Nice and simple description. You can view it as a blueprint for a function that you intend to pass. The return type, and parameters of a function and delegate which points to that function, must be the same. Sounds a wee bit confusing...
