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.
Welp, looks like Ublock Origin is over... YT now detects it and harasses your ass to try & give up your safety/comfort just so they can throw malicious ads down your throat.
And no, I won't stop using my adblocker as it keeps me safe, comfortable and secure from the tones of malicious/toxic ads YT tries to expose you to.
Hopefully UBlock manage to find a patch that stops YT from doing this if its still possible.
@Lil_VampireCJ That's gonna be hard, because there are multiple layers and any of them if not multiple ones could be causing this.
Mind you this ain't your regular #PiHole-like #Blocker that just redirects #DNS requests to #localhost, but literally reverse-#DNSes even #IP adresses and blocks them as well...
Der Beitrag zur Einrichtung von unbound in Verbindung mit Pi-hole zur Verbesserung der DNS-Antworten in Bezug auf Geschwindigkeit und Privatsphäre ist abgeschlossen. Wann soll er erscheinen?
I am still trying to set up a Pi-hole for me. One option is obviously a RPI, but for a simple DNS resolve the 4B is way too overpowered and therefore overpriced imo.
I already found the NanoPi NEO3-LTS and NanoPi R2C Plus very fitting, although I don't like the limited or just nonexistent software support.
Any recommendations for a small, cheap, power efficient SBC with at least Gigabit Ethernet, a SD-Card slot and USB-C for power?
Got this little fellow, an Argon One M.2 the other day, and looking to set up a few services on my Lan. Still waiting for a few things to arrive. Intrigued by #CasaOS but have zero knowledge about #Docker. I played around a little on an old #RaspberryPi 3 over the weekend just to familiarise myself a bit, but after installing a few docker apps the whole thing froze. I've used #Linux for years, I'm just a regular user, not a Dev or sysadmin, but projects like this can be fun. #ArgonOne#Linux
@nyx I already have my eye on cloudflare tunnel, #PiHole, #Photoprism, #Seafile, #Jellyfin and a few others. I'll definitely give nextcloud a look, but I'm not sure if it's something I actually need.
This project is more about fun than actual need. My understanding of everything is definitely limited, but I'll hopefully figure things out somewhat.
Maybe some note taking thingy too, I could have used one getting into this little project 😃
If we ignore the notion whether it should, what would make the Fediverse or Mastodon easier to approach for the majority of people? Getting rid of tech talk around the platform? Better, world class user interface? Somehow dismantling the whole domain and server structure? Just calling it Mastodon as one service instead of a Mastodon instance with domain, obfuscating it somehow? Just focusing on mastodon.social and ignore the rest? Acting as centralized service on the outside? Making it seamless via features and improvements? Is there any silver bullet?
I am not against the current state of things, on the contrary. Just curious and trying to think outside this box… of instances and other techy stuff. Could it even be easier to comprehend, or do we just have to continue educating people on the matter?
Every time a new Raspberry Pi is released, there are mutterings around thermal control of the new board.
This time around, with the release of Raspberry #Pi5, we’re introducing two new official hardware solutions for cooling, priced at $5 and $10 respectively.
@Raspberry_Pi in my country Every single user should have that thing and installed something like #pihole to have any privacy .... #ISP sucks in #Poland .. They want to know everything :D So sad I have no money to get one on my home network :(
Eine gelungene Einführung und Anleitung von @kuketzblog, wie man #PiHole auf seinem Pi und in Kombi mit einem Fritz-Router einrichten kann, denn es gibt durchaus einiges zu beachten.
@Sebastian@kuketzblog der Artikel hinterlässt für mich als »alten Hasen« in Sachen #PiHole einen tollen Eindruck. Gute Arbeit! Ich würde noch gerne ergänzen, dass sich meiner Erfahrung nach die Geschwindigkeit bei der DNS-Auflösung deutlich verbessert, wenn das Pi-hole auf einem
Raspi 4 statt dem alten Raspi 3 läuft. Natürlich sind beide die meiste Zeit gelangweilt, aber im
Moment der Abfrage gibt es doch Unterschiede. Messwerte habe ich nicht mehr, weil ich den 3er schon vor Jahren verkaufte.
@kkarhan@kuketzblog #blocky (https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky) ist auch sehr zu empfehlen. Vielleicht nichts für Einsteiger, aber für all diejenigen, die ähnliche Funktionalität wie mit #pihole suchen, nur ohne UI und Datenbank dafür aber komplett in YAML konfigurierbar. Auch wunderbar in Containern und K8s betreibbar.
@shibashecurity I've been thinking of doing this too. My #pihole works great, but the lack of management required to use #NextDNS is making me wonder if running it is still worth it.
Every once in a while I find a site that just wont work properly without disabling the pihole (at least for the initial query/connection). How do you handle that situation with NextDNS?
How do you handle smart lights and plugs where you can't install the client?
Finally took some time to set up #piHole and it's fun to watch the number of blocked requests go up. I also put the #raspberryPi on its own UPS (a USB power bank).
I'm thinking of putting together a #homeserver Things I want to have are #nextcloud, media streaming and some #pihole-type filter. What would be a #cheap system to start trying things out? What about the OS? #CasaOs looks gorgeous, but any recs welcome!
If website owners agree to display ads which they have no control over and which could be promoting the exact opposite of their values, doesn't that mean that they care about $$ more than the products/causes the ads are promoting?
Or do the ad platforms let content creators choose what ad topics and keywords to disallow?
Today is yet another reminder that DNS is not, freaking, decentralized. A service I use has now gone offline, most likely through no fault of its owners, because a DNS provider took issue to what they were doing. Same can happen to any Mastodon instance, and there’s nothing we can do about it.
