#pihole

#Firefox on #iPadOS doesn't allow Ublock Origin, or any Ad-blocking extension. This is #Apple's policy. It's really a trashy-feeling experience, when you know how good the ad-blocking would be in other OS'. It feels ironic, compared to the excruciating efforts Apple puts everywhere else throughout #iPadOS, to make it into slower-moving eye-candy that exceeds its competetion.

I'll probably install #PiHole on a #RaspberryPi, but why should I have to clean up Apple's mess, just to get an experience that other OS' achieve much more easily?

@Goldfigure Oh it's not all the time, only sometimes. I disabled all that crap, and I use Open Shell and explorer patcher as well. I also run network-wide adblock in the form of #PiHole so that I get very few ads, but it's still just windows 11 being a completely inept twunt-face of epic proportions.

Spent the last 3 hours making #Tailscale work seamlessly with the rest of my network; now I can access all my containers, backups, files, etc with the same ease no matter where I am :-)

A nice side effect is that I can have ad blocking on my phone when I'm not at home, via the #Pihole.

#Glück muss man haben....

Zuerst stirbt eine #Festplatte in meinem #NAS. Zum Glück #RaidZ2. Ersatz bestellt, kommt morgen, dann etwas Zeit fürs wieder reinrechnen und es ist wieder gut.

Heute stirbt doch glatt mein lokaler Mini-PC und nimmt meine Home-Automatisierung und mein #pihole mit sich (und noch ein paar Dienste, aber die merkt man nicht so stark). DNS geht ja noch recht einfach umzubiegen (anderes Ziel in den DHCP Server eintragen, zack tun die Clients wieder).
#Homeassistant nervt viel dagegen viel mehr, wenn das weg ist. Das ist der Nachteil an einer Automatisierung, die was zentrales braucht. Wenn das weg ist, dann Mist.
(Weswegen im Hausbau dann auch #knx genommen wird, und nur "hübsche Extras" mit so nem Zentral Dings daherkommen werden.)

Nungut, hab ja noch nen Laptop. Also kommt die VM vom HA dann dadrauf. Muss nur erstmal die Daten dahinkriegen. Kostet Zeit, aber ist machbar.

Aber es nervt. Ich hatte anderes vor heute.

Stuff a #Pihole in your #router because your #browser is about to betray you
You could be forgiven for feeling #webbrowser suppliers are actively working to make us trust them less.
#Mozilla bought an #ad company; this month, removed its promise not to sell your info.

Pi-hole takes over as your network name server, and silently redirects all web requests to known ad-server addresses to a #DNS sinkhole.

The Register · Stuff a Pi-hole in your router because your browser is about to betray youBy Liam Proven

I recently changed to a fritz box router and pinole has decided not to work anymore...

Anyone got any ideas? I can access the web interface but DND doesn't work from at least some of my devices...

I'll probs be changing my pis which host all my services to use k3s soon so will probs reinstall OS then, in case that makes any difference.

The new router did change my gateway btw, I think all the devices use the correct one now though.

Continued thread

La bonne surprise, c'est que tout se fait de manière INFINIMENT plus simple qu'il y a 5 ans, quand je m'étais essayé à l'installation de Raspbian + configuration de Pi-Hole.

1. Téléchargement + installation de RaspberryPi OS avec configuration essentielle (activation de SSH, du mot de passe et de la langue française) sur la carte micro-SD : entièrement automatisé avec RPI Imager

2. Ensuite, en accès SSH, une simple commande pour installer #PiHole

3. Définir l'IP du Pihole comme DNS

Et voilà...
En une petite heure à tout casser j'ai renouvelé complètement mon installation de #PiHole sur mon #RaspberryPi 😍
L'ancienne installation était trop ancienne et ne pouvait plus se mettre à jour, je devais actualiser l’OS installé (Raspbian) pour une version plus récente (RaspberryPi OS).

Après plus de 5 ans de bons et loyaux services en fonctionnement non-stop (toujours sur la même carte micro-SD), et après quelques manips, me voici sur un tout nouveau système.
