folks who run #pihole: have you ever had a site or app break as a result of using pihole?

(for the purposes of this question, "break" includes having to perform any kind of workaround, not just a fully blocking break)

#introduction

#eleventy #webc #php #statamic #laravel #tailwindcss #alpinejs uhhh whatever #sql and I guess #nginx #docker and all that crap all the way down. #fullstack

I play RPGs with friends. Sometimes I toot about it.

I am my group's sysadmin. Sometimes I toot about it.
#selfhosted #plex #lemmy #mastodon #pihole and throw some darts at https://selfh.st and you catch the rest.

Hot takes, bad jokes, etc.

This weeks stupidity… I made a mini 5u HomeLab for my HomeAssistant and PiHole boxes that sit inside an Ikea storage crate.

Includes a Pi5 16GB, Pi 3b+, Pi Zero W2 and a Pimoroni Badger for stats.

New blog post!

This time I talk how I set up WireGuard and PiHole to create an tracking and advertisement blocking solution that works wherever I go.

I can now block ads on my smartphone when using any cellular or Wi-Fi network, wherever I go.

And the results are wild, there is so much dirty traffic coming from my smartphone.

Take a look and leave some feedback :)

The ad-spam-situation on the web is terrible! 🤢

My #DNS -level filter went offline for a while, and a bunch of ads and in-page popups jump-scared me! 🤕

Also: I would like to thank services like #PiHole, #DNSForge, & #NextDNS for the great work that they do -- by blocking ads+trackers -- to keep us SANE and SAFE! 😇😇😇

If you would have told me that just over a year ago that I would be getting into servers & networking, I would have said you are f'n nuts. But yet here we are

Now I managing a #fileserver, a #minecraft server, & a #pihole server.

I switched the pihole over to #Raspian & it is using a fraction of the memory, especially compared to Ubuntu. Ubuntu was averaging 66% to 75% memory whereas Raspian is averaging 18%.

Oh, & here is my #2YearLinuxChallenge check-in too
