After updating to iPadOS 17.1.1 my iPad no longer resolves addresses that are DNS entries originating from the pihole (like 192.168 addresses). Anyone else seeing similar?
What is everyones favorite DNS service and why? Or do you just use the one of your provider? Bonusquestion: do you use DoT or DoH? #DNS#privacy#cybersecurity
Boaaaah, zuhüüülff!
ich habe ein grundsätzliches Verständnisproblem der #Portvergabe von #Docker auf einer #Synology.
Betrifft erstmal #pihole
Bei #StirlingPDF habe ich Glück gehabt - das lief mit den Grundeinstellungen auf Port 80 direkt. #askfedi
Just a quick thought: #PiHole next to #HomeAssistant on the same Raspberry Pi 4 or should I get a second one for this?
Home Assistant is directly flashed as Home Assistant OS. So is this even possible? And if I get a new Pi, which one would the best option to just run PiHole?
If I go the route with multiple Pis, I would like to have a machine that does one thing and no plans to do more than that one thing.
An Ad finally showed up in #Microsoft#Outlook today. Had never seen it before, and before I could recognize what had happened I clicked the email to read the body and see where I could unsubscribe.
My #pihole blocked them from loading in my browser, and I had a WTF moment as my brain shocked itself to what just happened.
Switched back to Mail immediately, sent feedback, and am downloading #thunderbird now.
I pay for the OS, why are you showing me ads desktop email program? Infuriating.
So ... our 42" Panasonic TV (mostly used by @feorag) turns out to be over 12 years old and only does 1080p. We probably want a 4K screen in our near future, as a dumb display for the 4K Apple TV box. Can go to 55", maybe larger (we need to measure the niche). Won't touch Samsung, Sony, or anything that refuses to work without an internet connection. How are LG these days?
@cstross@feorag LG are my favourite for being one of the few smart TVs nowadays to not run some sort of Android. Their “webOS” is really a pleasure to use.
They all do ads in some form or another, but not hard to block with a #pihole, or just leave it disconnected 🤷🏻♂️
If you'd like to get a rough feeling on how well your ad-blocking strategies are (uBlock Origin, Pi hole, AdGuard, AdNauseam, ...), give this test tool a try:
Did you know that #MicrosoftEdge's new tab page relies on msn.com so heavily that when you set #MSN#unsanctioned in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps you can't use the new tab page anymore?
I also just set the whole msn.com domain to be blocked by #Pihole but not sure that the #MicrosoftEdge respects the international rules governing how DNS name resolution supposed to work.
I think now I know why I experience this "static" new tab page without anything else than the lake with edge logo and the search bar.
It is because #Pihole has blocked the msn.com domain and all of its sub-domains, so #MicrosoftEdge has to fall back to a static page, which is chrome-search://local-ntp
So I just learned (the hard way) that you need to have DHCP enabled on your #pihole when you want to use it as DNS for a subdomain...
Cause the subdomain setting (for the DNS) seems to be part of the DHCP settings 😕
And as I replaced the DHCP with a different one on the network I thought it's be a good idea do deactivate the one one the pihole. Just to debug some DNS issues this morning due to the subdomain no longer being resolvable... 😡
I'm just fully realizing how much online experience is now driving me to the limits of mind wellness.
Every site, every admin panel, every service, every RDP session, each time the same f*cking cascading requests/pop-ups nightmare.
For your consent, your password, your acknowledgement, your subscription, your SMS code, your MFA. It never stops.
We're now spending more time accepting authentication requests, finding the right credential, login in auth software, denying/accepting every requests than doing actual work.
It's completely exhausting.
ps : and I can't imagine being online without my Precious (ie. #pihole).
@lukas
Vielen Dank für die klasse Liste.
Für Kalender und Kontakte nutze ich #baikal.
Ich werfe da auch #joplin, #bitwarden bzw. Vaultwarden mit ins Rennen.
Und heute fast selbstverständlich - #pihole oder #adguard.

Bin so gut geschützt, dass bei mir die Seite überhaupt nicht funktioniert 😂 Nicht einmal Javascript in NoScript freischalten hilft, weder Menü, noch Kompabilitätsliste werden angezeigt.
@gcluley would you detect if they have dns and firewall filters in place to identify and block badness rather than an add on that can see and modify everything? #pihole
I am having trouble searching for this so maybe some #IPv6 folks can help: I have a #PiHole on my home network and I was trying to set up some local AAAA #DNS records for my machines. My first instinct was to use the fe80 addresses b/c I know they are MAC-based and stay the same. However ssh does not like connecting to Link-Local IPv6 by domain, only literal IPs with %eth0 on the end. Are the Global addresses my systems got stable enough to map DNS at or do I need to make them static somehow?
YouTube being aggressive against ad blockers is making me want to never watch another ad from them again, I'm going over and above to make sure ads don't appear on any device that uses YouTube. They are motivating me to invest in this weird war they are fighting.
@michaelgraaf@selzero@andycarolan The aggressiveness seems to only be in Chrome. Work makes me use Chrome and I get that ad blocker message, but in Firefox (on the same machine) I don't., and I don't see ads. I have #pihole on the network and use #ghostery and #adguard in both browsers.
Last RT: Here's me wondering if a #RaspberryPi5 is finally fast enough to run a basic desktop environment (email, web browsing, etc) without being annoying.
Context: 2022, I spent $1600 USD building a no moving parts, 100% passively cooled, 0 dBA silent PC home media/occasional gaming system. Sits at the foot of my bed, Intel Core i5-12600K CPU, Intel UHD 770 GPU, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, 50" 4K UHD TV.
I'd love to be able to offload basic tasks to a Pi 5 in a Flirc case.
@dekkzz76 I use a Pi 3B to run #Pihole, currently, which is a big help. I want to upgrade that system, but I want a second Pi just to have a Linux system always up and running for basic tasks that doesn't suck too much power (all the old computers in my house). I almost bought a cheap NUC system during the Pi shortage.
