In addition to the other comments which more directly address your question, DNS has been / can be used to exfiltrate data from "secure" networks. Search "dns data exfiltration" in your favourite search engine and you'll get several high quality articles. Typical mitigations might be to limit which DNS servers your network can contact, restrict packet sizes to the bare minimum which valid use would have and so forth.

I'm familiar with the news about the brick - in the past I've had this problem (I think it was a bricked... pixel 2?) and faced similar power off issues. Keep trying what you're trying but in various ways - I vaguely recall that I had to press volume up first and then hold power or something like that (meaning pressing them both at once or power first didn't work). One of the various combos you're trying is supposed to be the one that forces it off after ~30secs of holding but a fuzzy memory reminds me it was real finicky to actually get working. Worst case scenario, just let the battery die. :(
This ~~is~~ appears to be dark pattern marketing at play; they run a Mastodon instance which intercepts all links to the federated content and pushes you towards their for-profit site; it was actually not doing this earlier, when I visited a few links I actually got real mastodon content pages inconsistently.
Generally, if you visit anything like https://flipboard.social/@[email protected] it redirects you to to flipboard.com/@AlaskaBeacon which is entirely their for-profit presence. But then it doesn't a few tries later after testing more - I watched within a minute the Texas BBQ one allow me to see the profile on flipboard.social, I reloaded and was suddenly redirected to their flipboard.com/TexasBBQ site.
It seems you might be able to load them into your own mastodon instance manually and it will work (I do see a profile page with legacy posts which hadn't federated yet, so "no posts" at this early of a test). Something like https://myserver.social/@[email protected] will presumably work; I suspect though that all posts will be stubs that drive you towards flipboard.com to read the actual content, rather than a direct source (time will tell).

Might I recommend https://liberapay.com/ ? As a user, I can donate with PayPal and they minimize vendor fees by collecting up front from me and performing recurring donations to you (lemm.ee) and it allows me to retain personal privacy if so desired (per the other reply). Here is the core Lemmy developer using the platform for example: https://liberapay.com/dessalines/ | https://liberapay.com/Lemmy/
I think I'd put this in the hard house category, could trend towards hard NRG but this really isn't my genre to know the fine details. it pushes towards some (psy)trance-like sounds as it goes on but that's the DJ adding his mojo, he brings it back towards hard house each time
edit: here's the DJ, he bills as trance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlo_Hoogstraten
edit 2: always looking to expand my horizons, I'm going to reclassify myself and say it's hard trance in 2024 after comparing a few mixes; hard trance feels "cleaner" between the beats like this, whereas hard house has more chutzpah going on making it sound more... well, like static (no offense to the hard house lovers). It's changed over time and they really feel like they converge a lot now to my ears; two examples:
- hard house 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ksirtYd-lM
- hard trance 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pui4r2Z5uaY
I would agree, and would bring awareness of ionice
into the conversation for the readers - it can help control I/O priority to your block devices in the case of write-heavy workloads, possibly compiler artifacts etc.
The Linux kernel uses the CPU default scheduler, CFS, a mode that tries to be fair to all processes at the same time - both foreground and background - for high throughput. Abstractly think "they never know what you intend to do" so it's sort of middle of the road as a default - every CPU cycle of every process gets a fair tick of work unless they've been intentionally nice
'd or whatnot. People who need realtime work (classic use is for audio engineers who need near-zero latency in their hardware inputs like a MIDI sequencer, but also embedded hardware uses realtime a lot) reconfigure their system(s) to that to that need; for desktop-priority users there are ways to alter the CFS scheduler to help maintain desktop responsiveness.
Have a look to Github projects such as this one to learn how and what to tweak - not that you need to necessarily use this but it's a good point to start understanding how the mojo works and what you can do even on your own with a few sysctl tweaks to get a better desktop experience while your rust code is compiling in the background. https://github.com/igo95862/cfs-zen-tweaks (in this project you're looking at the set-cfs-zen-tweaks.sh file and what it's tweaking in /proc
so you can get hints on where you research goals should lead - most of these can be set with a sysctl)
There's a lot to learn about this so I hope this gets you started down the right path on searches for more information to get the exact solution/recipe which works for you.
On my Subscribed view on lemm.ee sorted by Hot which very recently upgraded lemmy-ui to 0.19.4 (your lemmy.sdf.org instance has not upgraded yet, just checked), of 14x news items/links which should have thumbnails - 8x of them are broken/missing, just over 50%.
The one that's stuck with me throughout a lifetime is The Hare and the Tortoise (Project Gutenberg, safe click). Slow but steady wins the race.
