    No worries, the other poster was just wasn't being helpful. And/or doesn't understand statistics & databases, but I don't care to speculate on that or to waste more of my time on them.

    The setting above maxes out at 24h in stock builds, but can be extended beyond that if you are willing to recompile the FTL database with different parameters to allow for a deeper look back window for your query log. Even at that point, a second database setting farther down that page sets the max age of all query logs to 1y, so at best you'd get a running tally of up to a year. This would probably at the expense of performance for dashboard page loads since the number is probably computed at page load. The live DB call is intended for relatively short windows vs database lifetime.

    If you want an all-time count, you'll have to track it off box because FTL doesn't provide an all-time metric, or deep enough data persistence. I was just offering up a methodology that could be an interesting and beneficial project for others with similar needs.

    Hey, this was fun. See you around.

    #### MAXLOGAGE=24.0
    Up to how many hours of queries should be imported from the database and logs? Values greater than the hard-coded maximum of 24h need a locally compiled `FTL` with a changed compile-time value.
    

    I assume this is the setting you are suggesting can extend the query count period. It still will only give you the last N hours' worth of queries, which is not what OP asked. I gather OP wants to see the cumulative total of blocked queries over all time, and I doubt the FTL database tracks the data in a usable way to arrive at that number.

The Bible itself is an assemblage of self-congratulatory and often self-contradictory allegory with the minimum viable basis in fact compiled over centuries to the benefit of a cynical, theocratic ruling class.

    Is it not better to stand firmly on the ground and regard your peers with one simple rule: to treat with them in all dealings as you would be treated, to deal in objective fact, and to eschew hypocrisy and cynical blandishments?

    No, as an atheist I don't think it is I who has a house upon sand, neither clouds.

    I buy all of my phones carrier-unlocked, and have never had a problem.

    Potential pitfalls are if the IMEI is blacklisted, which could happen if the phone is reported as stolen, or if the radio deck isn't compatible with your carrier's network.

    In the US, the AT&T and T-Mobile networks are pretty open, and you just need to pop in your SIM card. I don't have experience with Verizon to know if you can bring your own device or not, but I imagine as long as the phone can work with Verizon then its probably just a matter of visiting a store to have it activated.

    Are your kitchen knives angry knives?

    Hear me out... I was raised, as my family does, to fearfully respect our kitchen knives. Respect their productivity, respect their sharpness, but overall respect their ruthlessness. Even the mildest of disrespect for my family's knives would earn you a nick of you were merely neglectful, and grievous harm if you spoke ill of their aptness. Of course, when I moved out and set up my own kitchens I acquired my own knives and tried to teach them better. How I was the master, and I was the steel wright. I lavished them with hand baths and fresh oils. I used only the gentlest of hardwoods on their blades and protected them from the hrllscape of the dishwasher. We lived in serene peace, an harmonic existence of a mealwright and his band of merry Riveners. And then one day, the Inheritance came. Grand Father had died, and his boning knives were my bequest. I was elated, but I would learn. My friends, that old knife had a soul. Not an evil soul, but a soul that had goals. It was hard steel that took a keen, harsh edge. Bright and tense, like a silver bell on a crisp winter morning. Not Solingen steel, so pliable and yielding as it is fickle in use. Grandfather's knives told you where to cut and if you hesitated, they would cut you instead in frustration. Impertinent things. Not evil, I would say. More, businesslike. My mistake was to lay them with my other knives. Did you know knives _talk?_ They do! They whisper to each other in their blocks at night when you are asleep. They whisper and they.learn from each other. A good papa hopes they learn the Art of their chef, but when you have a Bad Knife in the block? They learn that too. Now, all of my knives are angry knives. Not angry at me, necessarily, but angry at their lot in my kitchen, to suffer my children's abusive cooking lessons, my in-laws' insistent prep work degradations, and (occasionally) my neglect. They bit my wife tonight. Its a Message....

    To disable spell check on Android?

    Disclosure: I am not an applications programmer. I work lower down the stack. Jerboa (really, AOSP keyboard or more likely WebKit) has an annoying spell checker bug where backspacing and cursor based text editing mangle surrounding words and phrases. When I type in a field in Jerboa (this body text), an autocomplete-like underline appears ubder each incomplete word until I hit space. If I hit space and then backspace too rapidly (as if the spell check can't finish analyzing the new token before the next key event), the space before the preceding token gets underlined and then all hell breaks loose. I have to stop, hit space or newline, and then proceed backspacing m o r e s l o w l y. A workaround might be to include an attribute, `android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"` in the form elements to disable AOSP/WebKit native spell checks I'd submit a PR myself, but as I said, I'm not an app programmer. Anyone who has any experience with this wanna partner up to help debug what I'm talking about? I should add.... This isn't strictly a Jerboa thing. Many WebKit apps seem to display this behavior. (E.g., Firefox for Android, Tinfoil for Facebook, etc.) Its just more noticeable in Jerboa because of the length of text entry
