Salteñas are a type of empanada found in Bolivia, and one of Bolivias most famous and beloved culinary exports. Like many such foodstuffs, the exact composition varies, but salteñas are generally notable for a few features: a sweet and spicy flavor, a more liquid-y filling than other empanadas, and a filling containing a wider variety of ingredients--sort of like a whole meal in a pocket, like a pot pie. A typical salteña might contain something like chicken, a whole hard-boiled egg, raisins, peas, carrots, potatoes, and olives, as an example. Vegetarian or vegan salteñas are less commonly found due to the relative lack of vegetarianism in Bolivia, but there is nothing in the definition of the dish that precludes a vegan salteña.
Salteñas are also a great option for a meal on a budget. You can often find them for $2 or $3 at local restaurants or food stands, and with their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink fillings and larger size, one or two can easily make a satisfying meal.

Very cool and normal that over 60% of all DNS requests made over my home network are just pure ads and trackers. Very nice how many resources are wasted just to advertise shit. Literally over half of all internet traffic being pure ads. Luckily I block them now.
Imagine how much battery life on your phone and electricity used to power servers is wasted to show you ads. The OG of wasting energy and computer resources before cryptocurrency.
The waste is extra galling when you consider the server-side of that equation (energy costs and hardware degradation) plus the outrageous amount of labor that goes into building/maintaining/optimizing/operating the ad networks, plus the outrageous amount of labor that goes into the creation of each ad (marketers, graphic designers, support reps and salespeople, middle management, analysts) — it all gets worse once you add video advertisements and ad targeting into the equation too.
I've worked on a couple ad platforms before (as a devops engineer) and yeah it's fucking bleak to think about.

Next time I move I should really set up a network blocker.
Yeah, adguard home is relatively easy to setup in a "pihole" type way. Then there's obviously pihole, the original. It works well and saves tonnes of data if you have data caps or a fair use policy/throttling by your ISP.
