Ads are everywhere, and they're just getting louder, longer, and more annoying than ever before. With YouTube accidentally serving [music] 90-second long ads on smart TVs and raising their premium subscription to a whopping $16 a month, I've decided enough is enough. Life is short, and I'm sure as heck not trying to waste it by watching
advertisements. I need a way to stop getting blasted by those obnoxious, obtrusive ads on every device I own. My computer, my phone, even my TV. Nothing is safe. And if I can find one, I'll save myself not only $160 a year, but also the time wasted watching ads. And time is money, so really, I'm killing

anything. Linux, Windows, Mac, it doesn't matter. And this is all made possible with the power of something called Docker, which lets you launch apps in just a couple minutes. So, there was no excuse to put this off any longer. It was time to put an old PC to good use and rehire it as my personal ad
