2 years agoOh yea - there’s nothing wrong with PiHole - it works fine. I ran it for years. I just feel AdGuard is the better choice these days.

I haven’t tried nextdns but I moved from PiHole to AdGuard Home. It can still be locally hosted and the UI is waaaay better and it offers more configuration, including per client settings. I really don’t know why PiHole is still recommended.
Oh cool man. Thanks for checking back in. I probably sat on this decision for a 2 or 3 weeks and about 2 years later I’m still happy.
Just the other day I went out my side door, and in the front. Didn’t have any phone, fob, keys, etc on me and the front door was locked. I was able to get in no problem and I thought to myself…man if I had a fob like I wanted I would be waking back around the house…so glad I got this thing lol.
7·2 years agoThis isn’t a railroad car. Deadheading on aircraft mean the company is getting you from one place to another. You’re on the clock, on duty, and generally must be provided a seat in the back.
Jumpseating (usually for commuting) is when you travel on your own time, own dime, typically done before or after a trip. You may be provided a seat in the back, but if there are none you may be granted access to sit in the cockpit jumpseat. You are on duty when jumpseating and considered part of the crew.
Deadheading means you’re in the back of the plane. He was jumpseating, most likely commuting.
Im curious to see what gets recommended here. I went through the same thing with about the same requirements a year or two ago and came up empty handed.
I ended up with a Schlage Camelot and am super happy. I really wanted RFID because I thought using our phones or a fob would be super convenient but in reality the most convenient way to enter is to just put a code in. You don’t have to bring anything with you, you don’t have to fish something out of a pocket or bag, just enter your pin, spin the dial and you’re in.
Your virtual box solution should work. You can even set it up to grab an IP from your actual network so it’s right on your LAN.
Digital Ocean is really straight forward has $5/mo VPS, one click K8s, monitoring, etc.
This is my referral code that I believe gives you $200 in credit over 2 months.

2·2 years agoIve heard ikea bulbs were pretty good.
Something else to think about - after moving to a new apartment I switched from smart bulbs (hue) to smart switches (Lutron casetta). It seems pricy but since one switch controls multiple bulbs here (4 in one instance) the price difference was negligible.
I’ve lost the ability to set colors but that was always a gimmick for me and Casetta has been even more rock solid than hue.
I’ll join in. Just signed up for the trial of Kagi after seeing an article on here and I’ve already subscribed. I don’t miss google at all and am excited to play with some of the innovating features (lenses look neat).
Funny. I have some Disc Lite 5s that I’ve yet to get going due to difficulty of setup. We did have plans of a little Wi-Fi mesh setup to setup a WAN.
This would just be for fun between a few friends and the price point is pretty attractive. Plus the ham in me is a little excited about messing with antennas.
Dude this is a great response. I’ve spent the last hour trying to piece together how it works and you nailed everything perfectly.
I’m a ham so familiar with radios and have been trying to setup some Wi-Fi links between friends but this seems a little more practical.
Is a few mile range possible with houses etc in the way? We’re all about a mile away from each other, although I may throw an antenna on top of my house (maybe 10m up)
The documentation is a little lacking. What exactly is the range of each decide? I see the record of 100+ miles but can I easily connect people within a few miles?
What exactly does this do? Is it just a messaging app?
I don’t know what you’re on about.

The best (and simplest) thing I have running is AdGuard Home. It’s a DNS server you run that blocks ads on the entire network.
I also run a wireguard server on my router and clients on my laptops and phone.
With these combined when on the road on cell or Wi-Fi connections all my traffic goes right to my home internet and it’s like I’m home.
I have access to all internal services, devices, and I get no ads in apps and websites (where technically possible). Highly highly recommend. I couldn’t live without it.
I also have home assistant running but that is way more work than just installing a server. It’s almost a hobby in of itself.
Editing - I didn’t mention it but PiHole is an alternative to AdGuard Home. I didn’t mention PiHole to keep things simple but after years of using PiHole I’ve switched to AdGuard Home mostly because of the per client configs, ease of maintenance and UI. As always, check out both and choose what’s best for you.
I’ve been with digital ocean for more years than I can remember. I love Digital Ocean. Their core product is great, great UI, API, and their new products have been great as well. I’m using their K8s managed install for a year or so now on a product with no issues.
I believe they have 1 click installs for Wordpresss.
Here’s a referral code for $200 over 2 months if anyone wants to try it:
16·2 years agoLinux has directories (folders) that contain programs. The two major conventions are /bin (short for binary which is another name for an executable program) and sbin (system/super user binaries).
Kbin seems like a play off of that, don’t know what the k implies tho.
This is a good post.
As for why people don’t like systemd, it follows the kitchen-sink approach to software and does a lot of things at once.
For people new to Linux I just want to point out - for better or for worse this goes against the Unix philosophy.
Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.
Ah - check out AdGuard then - it supports DoH right out of the box. That should help hide DNS from your ISP.
