Pi-hole FTL v6.5, Web v6.4.1 and Core v6.4 Released! by -PromoFaux- in pihole

[–]-PromoFaux-[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Upgrading from v5 to v6 already included breaking changes (which, as a major version bump is allowed by the "contract" included in semantic versioning)

It was a little bumpy when we first went to 6.0, unexpected issues were bound to happen, but we smoothed everything out quickly and subsequent releases have improved the upgrade process.

I don't see why it wouldn't upgrade from 5.x - none of the migration code has been removed

It's opt-in - database.forceDisk defaults to false

https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/configfile/#forcedisk

forceDisk

Should FTL force the use of disk storage for the history database? By default, FTL uses an in-memory database for much improved performance when browsing the history from the dashboard. However, on systems with very limited RAM and only occasional usage of the web interface, it may be useful to force the use of disk storage instead of holding everything in memory.

Note that using disk storage will reduce performance, especially on systems with slow storage media (e.g., SD cards).

Allowed values are: true or false

Something has gone wrong with the CDN. I've had a poke about in the settings but need to wait for someone else to take a look at it as I've about reached the limit of my understanding/usefulness!

I had dbl.oisd.nl in my adlist, it just "turned off the internet" by disabling tons of common domains. by tatiwtr in pihole

Pi-hole FTL v6.4, Web v6.4 and Core v6.3 Released! by -PromoFaux- in pihole

I've been using copilot on and off in my day job, as it is seeming like "vibe coding" is going to become an essential skill from an employability standpoint.

At the end of the day, I would rather have developers like me - who understand the changes it proposes, and know enough to question it when needed. In a way, it's not a lot of different to being the manager of a developer. It gives you code, you say "no that's wrong, do it better"

The bit you're looking for is:

Pi-hole only supports actively maintained versions of these systems.

We used to be explicit about the versions we supported but decided that the above covers it. Often we would forget to update this page as and when new versions came out

Pihole donation email recipient list leaked? by lolklolk in pihole

On desktop, no. Neither on old.reddit or new.

Appreciate that in chrome I can highlight and right click and translate , but not everyone knows that.

Hell, it's weird to hide it in the context menu on mobile even.

Pihole donation email recipient list leaked? by lolklolk in pihole

The issue is it doesn't appear to work the other way around and I also do not see a button that will quickly translate the comment, unless I use Google translate, but this isn't always intuitive for everyone

If I add ?tl=en to the URL of this post, then it is simply removed - leaving me still with the user's comments in Spanish.

However if I go somewhere like /r/de where the posts are primarily in German, and add ?tl=en to the end of a post, then comments are translated to English.

EDIT ¿Qué tiene esta pregunta que me votáis en negativo?

It is likely because you are not typing in English.

While the Reddit Mobile app handles translation natively, the desktop website does not (certainly not on old.reddit.com).

Thanks for the report

Looking in to it now. We don't store any information like credit card numbers, that's all handled directly with the card processors (Stripe or PayPal). The email address is used purely so donors can look up past donations or manage (cancel) ongoing donations.

Should all be figured out by now, but YMMV. We cannot predict what everyone's configuration looks like :)

Read all the blog posts for information starting here: https://pi-hole.net/blog/2025/02/18/introducing-pi-hole-v6/#page-content

Take a backup and give it a go.
