James C :python:<p>The house <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pihole</span></a> is on its last legs - officially. I tried and failed to upgrade it last night.</p><p>Now it is continuing to answer queries, but the web interface is responding with 4xx status codes to everything.</p><p>Luckily, I think I’ve got enough kit to build a replacement and get it on the network. 🤞🏻</p>
Christopher Isene<p>tweaked my pihole setup, now running on 4 cores, previously 2 cores but it pegged cpu at 100% .. </p><p>Maybe combination Debian 12 + Pihole 6 is bad ..</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pihole</span></a></p>

It also makes websites not detect you have an adblocker so you can browse freely.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pihole</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/adblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adblock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/adblocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adblocker</span></a></p>
Kevin Severud :donor:<p>– In only a few simple steps, we will describe how to set up your own recursive DNS server. It will run on the same device you're already using for your Pi-hole.

Tom Phillips<p>Ah, I think it's the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> debug script. I ran it around that time last night. I ran it again just now and it makes a blocked request. Phew. Thought my system was compromised or something.</p>

I believe I’ve only had to replace the SD Card once which I think is very impressive! That purchase led me on a long journey of purchasing SO many different variants for various little projects 🙃</p>

Anarchism School Dropout<p>First time installing Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi. Smooth sailing. 45 minutes install and setup.

aCiReP<p>It is amazing to see how good software does the job and stays out of your way.

A PiHole improves the overall internet experience. It doesn‘t kill ALL the anoying stuff, but I still consider it a big improvement. But you are right.

dazfuller :rickwhoah:<p>So the thing I can’t work out is this. I’ve got an Octoprint raspberry pi on my network. It’s assigned a static IP address on my dhcp server (<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> server).</p><p>So far all good</p><p>But. I’ve got an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> Fire Stick which has a completely different IP address, but it seems to be saying its host name is the same as my Octoprint server, just with a .lan extension instead of .local</p>
Chris Pitts<p>And of course, if it’s not the router it must be the DNS…<a href="https://agilodon.social/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> trouble. Might be time to schedule an occasional restart.</p>
S e l y F r i d a y 🇵🇸<p>Ridiculous that every 5-10 seconds my computer pings it's maker for some reason..... </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pihole</span></a></p>
