I have Rokus behind a PiHole. They generate a lot of traffic. I think the majority of it is telemetry, as opposed to requests for ads. That being said, I think Roku behind PiHole is about perfect. There are no ads, and its search will let you search for a show and it will tell you which service it's on. I prefer its spartan interface to one that's busy, or has a grid. I rarely channel surf. When I watch TV it's deliberate. A grid does me no good.

Dan Carlin did a podcast on this battle. He mentioned (I'm paraphrasing) that Roman soldiers were 50% soldier and 50% construction worker. Like you said, they KNEW how to besiege. Once the legion showed up they got to building.

The first Yanni I heard was Live at the Acropolis. It blew me away. Unfortunately all of his other stuff kind of pales in comparison. :(

It's not always that loud. And they have earplugs if it does get too loud.
