[Resolved] Cannot Reconnect With Static IP

I have a Raspberry Pi 02W running Pi-Hole and ordinarily things work perfectly, but I’ve got something in my house tripping my fuse box which I’m unable to locate. The tripper, not the fuse box. Anyway, what it means is occasionally, I lose power and so my router and my Pi-Hole go down....

On routers and modems the DHCP range is usually not allocating the full range for IP addresses to hand out to devices. If I were you I would configure the pi-hole to have a static IP address on the pi-hole itself so it will be independent from your router’s DHCP server. For example let’s say

  • the DHCP IP range is 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.254
  • then you can pick for example 192.168.1.19 for your pi-hole

With that approach you will avoid IP address conflicts and the pi-hole should be fine. If you’re using systemd on the pi-hole that is maybe easiest, here an example :

Another option is to use nmtui from NetworkManager

Try Linux Mint.

If you want to test several Linux distributions Ventoy can be useful. You can have 10 or more different Linux distributions on one USB stick depending on the size of the stick. This will also save you time “flashing” an image iso to the stick each time because with Ventoy you’d simply copy the image iso files to the stick, quick and easy.

lemmyreader,

the two you suggested though are US based though.

Disroot is in Europe.

lemmyreader,

Proton is the only one I know of who takes mailed cash.

Proton accepts payments via postal mail you mean ? Posteo and mailbox.org do that.

lemmyreader,

Thanks! They have indeed several blog articles about that. Here’s a few :

The name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can’t decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email.

  • According to this WiFi should work with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 Bit Did you install 24.04 or 22.04 ?
  • I’d expect most USB devices to work out of the box. Did you try : sudo dhclient ?

Easiest is probably to perform an installation that comes with a GUI. If the default Ubuntu installation iso is too large, there’s for example Lubuntu.

lemmyreader,

Agree about nmtui. Nice tool.

How are companies or developers supposed to make a full time living with OSI opensourced projects? (opensource.org)

There has been a lot of talk about companies and individuals adopting licenses that aren’t OSI opensource to protect themselves from mega-corp leechers. Developers have also been condemned who put donation notices in the command-line or during package installation. Projects with opensource cores and paid extensions have also...

lemmyreader,

Three examples of open source software where at least one developer could give up their regular job and work full-time on the open source project. I’m sure there’s more (The Linux kernel maybe ?) :

In both cases possible because of people donating. The last example is quite remarkable given the personal history of the developer and the fact that it was “just” a fun project with the developer sharing videos about programming for the fun project.

Long time ago Riseup, focused on activists, required two invite codes, probably to avoid abuse. They’ve relaxed it with asking for only one invite code. You should imho not be asking for invite codes on the Internet but ask your activist friends or read this : support.riseup.net/…/13-how-do-i-get-an-account

lemmyreader,

Disroot stopped using RainLoop long time ago when people became aware of a security bug in RainLoop and the fact that the RainLoop project appeared to be dormant. I think Disroot switched to SnappyMail, and then to Roundcube.

lemmyreader,

Apparently it’s (by default) everything that doesn’t explicitly specify a license (especially a FOSS one) within the javascript code of the page, which is a ridiculously huge portion of JS on the internet.

It is never to late to start something and make people aware of problems and as far as I am concerned not only about software licenses but JavaScript as a security problem.
