I think this thread proves they failed in not creating controversy

Was it called Idiocracy? Brawndo! The thirst mutilator!

Or, use that time to learn an actual skill…

Conservatives be like: “God is angry, take away the abortions!”

I toyed with this idea, but the directory structures are completely different, and they both keep their own databases. If one updates images, the other database will be out of sync. IMHO, it’s best to keep them separate

I don’t have anything specific, self-hosting is a big subject. I recommend checking out https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted / !selfhosted@lemmy.world There’s a lot of helpful folks over there

Have you considered self-hosting? Nextcloud is a great alternative to stuff like Google docs, etc…

Will any of them win?

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

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

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

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.

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 😋

Interesting, I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

A small update: Traccar with the wake lock off and the interval set to 100 seconds uses a fraction of the battery but the accuracy still seems questionable. Since it’s not draining the battery anymore, I’m going to keep running them in tandem for comparison. If I remember, I’ll come back here with my results

I’m using wireguard but I hear a lot of good things about tailscale.

Depends on your router. I have an Asus and it has a free ddns option through their domain. I point my Wireguard client at this address and never think of it again. That way, the only port that’s open on your router is a Wireguard port and they don’t respond to sniffing.

If that’s not a possibility, I had a ddns service before that for like $2/month
