Are you actually forced to move away from your Windows 10? You could just keep using it. Fuck Microsoft and its lack of support. If it works why change it?

I agree with this thread, but to answer your question I think the point is to tinker with it j “just because”. We’re all in this for fun, not profit.

My old DS916+ is great at the ile services but too weak for computing, so I have a reclaimed business laptop for the services. I could not imagine running anything on the DS.

Neither my UniFi router/gateway nor the ISP modem offers that.

Between my network and the ISP modem, I habe a UniFi router. That’s the one I tell to send DNS requests to Pihole.

The only way to get around that is by setting e.g. 1.1.1.1 into the local computer’s network settings. My boys aren’t that tech literate - yet.

You are correct - this isn’t a tech issue at its root. But it is one of the arrows in the quiver.

We’re running a grandfathered Google Workspace for the whole family. Parental tools don’t exist in Workspace :'(

Adguard has a clumsy text-based block&unblock method, so it’s tedious to do. And given that we all have several devices, I’d have to (un)block a lot. Which is why Pihole seems more useful at the moment.

If I keep UniFi DHCP then Pihole will not show individual clients, making it hard to put blocks on those individual clients.

In the past, the only solution I found was to let Pihole provide DHCP instead of UniFi.

Simple file copying is easy and smart.

What do you do about databases? I’m guessing you are running some containers that have a database, like paperless and many others.

🤷 They probably think they have a good reason for it.

Well, backups aren’t important at all,until you need them. Like insurance - you’re screwed if you don’t have any when trouble strikes.

How do you host Obsidian? Last time I checked, it only ran as a local install, so the “hosted” version was just a virtual machine running a local copy. Is it still that?

Correct. It refuses to run without https. That is by design.

Forgejo is a fork from gitea that is made for us. Forgejo is the new gitea.

There was some licensing or something, some kind of disagreement I don’t recall. Forgejo is the one that is still free and open source.

And don’t think that you can just back up using a file-copy process. These things have databases that also need to be backed up. It’s not as simple as it first seems.

Source: been selfhosting for an embarrassingly long time without any backup!

In my experience, firefly is not aimed at household or personal finance. It is very obviously made by and for accountants.

Actual Budget is much more approachable for the normal home user, and very similar to the successful YNAB.

Interesting points, thank you.

Today I wanted to block everything with facebook and Instagram, it looks like I am hand-editing a config file to do so. And it applies to the entire network; AGH has no concept of user groups. Am I missing something really obvious?

Can I please ask why you prefer Adguard over Pihole?

The sd card in my raspberry 3b recently died, and my pihole with it. I am now using Adguard but not sure it’s working well for me, consider going back. What’s the winning argument for you?
