@acirep #PiHole was the reason for my first Raspberry Pi purchase, a Pi 2 Model B in February 2016 (for £27.70!) and it still runs on the same device to this day. 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 🙃

It is amazing to see how good software does the job and stays out of your way. Example of this is #PiHole that is for years now running on tiny #RPi 3A+ without any problems 🙌 and serving all clients in my network. ❤️

A few days ago home internet started acting funny.

At first I blamed my ISP, than #PiHole that runs on my #RaspberryPi, but none turned out to be the reason. The reason was this UPS that powers my main WiFi router base.

When I pulled the plug out of the UPS I found a cable in quite a miserable state as you can see.

Having examined further I found that a small zener diode got shorted.

Replaced it with the one with a higher voltage rating and it's back to work as expected.

It's crazy that I could remote into my server in KL all the way from Kedah using only my mobile hotspot and #Wireguard #VPN connection without noticeable lag or delays whatsoever. Though, I also did the same when I was in Osaka, and I suppose that's more impressive lol - anyway, Wireguard (and #Pi-hole) = Big W.

@sidereal I feel the same way about it. 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. It is sad enough that one has to take care about this shit rain by her/himself.

The #pihole s inform me they've blocked traffic to google-analytics almost 50,000 times in the last 24 hours. The next-most frequent domains were blocked 500 times, and the most-hit permitted domain was hit 2000 times.

So like, what percentage of my bandwidth does Google have to use up before they pay me for it? Because at this point they're literally stealing (or trying to steal, love you piholes <3) lots% of the Internet I'm paying to use. To track me without my permission. Um.

Edit: Lösung ist rebind-Schutz

Ich stehe gerade wie ein Ochs vorm Berg.
Ich habe 2 #pihole Instanzen im Netz laufen.
Denen habe ich lokale DNS-Einträge für einen existierenden DNS record eingetragen.
Frage ich die Server direkt, bekomme ich auch die (lokale) IP zurück.
Frage ich die #FritzBox, die diese beiden Pihole-Instanzen als Upstream konfiguriert hat, bekomme ich ein "Unknown host" zurück.

Warum?
