It takes a little experimentation to get it right, but you can find out which urls are involved with your game's ads and whitelist them

Your job is to break computers? If not, my guess is that you can do your job in such a way as to not break the computer. If not, the company really needs to reassess how your job is done

And Kraft owns fucking everything so make an ai-generated image about mac and cheese being a weapon of mass destruction or something. Jesus, get a job

Just started Rise of Empire, Volume 2 of The Riyeria Revelations. I'm normally a pretty picky reader (Sanderson has spoiled me...) but this series is just plain solid so far. It's not great in any area, but it does well in most. Vol 1 felt a bit like a mix of LOTR and Wizard of Oz. Just a quest to find a thing and picking up folks with necessary skills along the way. The character development could use some fleshing-out, but that seems to be happening a bit more in vol 2. Overall, I recommend this series (so far), good fun.

Last time I tried that was... problematic. I suppose I could try again...

I'm kinda just getting started. The goal is to have a media server in addition to my current raspberry pi server that will act as a second dns. If I can't find a way to keep them synced, I'll give adguard a try

I only have one dns field. Apparently, there's a fork of asus software that provides 2 so my suspicion is that the router is automatically supplying its own IP as dns2

[–] shiftymccool@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

OK, this seems to be the issue. I have this section but only one field for DNS.

I have my router as DHCP and I also have the DNS set to the pi-hole which I'm assuming is how the devices are getting it. I'm just not sure why it's getting my router IP as well.

[–] shiftymccool@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The router is running DHCP and is set to hand out the Pi-hole IP as DNS. Interestingly, there's only one field for this so maybe the router is choosing itself as DNS2? If I go into WAN settings, there are fields for DNS1 & 2 but if I was under the impression that these should be set for upstream DNS.

Why would I use anything that runs my homelab traffic through centralized servers? It kinda defeats my whole purpose in "privatizing" my data. They say they don't collect data blah blah blah but nobody can be 100% sure what goes on in their own servers.

I really like the idea of combining VPN with Syncthing-like connectivity but not at the cost of privacy. If they would just allow an opt-out from using their servers and not requiring signing up for an account I would be all over it.

Unless I'm mistaken, I'll be sticking with my Wireguard with one port forwarded through my router.

I'm thinking that, when I decide to upgrade from my homelab-ish setup, I'll be going with one of these. I haven't looked into the software so much but just something a bit more purpose-built than a pi4 with a USB drive 😋
