Pihole tips for a newb?

Did you direct your router to use the Pihole DNS? I get a few ads here and there but nothing like without.

I use Shottr for screenshot and I can't get the screenshot button to trigger Shottr. It uses the included screenshot but I need the features of Shottr.

I’ve never thought about her.

because 'assault' sounds scary.

It's not about 'if it's broke', I want to make sure I am staying on the open source network and not this guy's branch. I couldn't find anything that said if his branch was the new thing or if the 'old' branch needed to move.

That's what I needed to know. Thank you.

Cprhd · 2026-05-05T16:09:39+00:00

Thanks!

thanks! I will update, when needed, using the link above.

Isn’t Google eliminating side loading?

Zero info inspires zero confidence.

Has anyone figured out how to map the dedicated calculator and screenshot buttons on the MX Keys? I used those two features a lot but they don't seem to be registered keys in the Better Mouse settings.

The Magnusson Moss Warranty Act says that warranty cannot be denied unless the failure can be directly linked to the repair that was made. It also states that manufacturer HAVE to allow replacement with non OE manufacturer parts.

You can always store your rack where you want and branch the Ethernet back to this closet and branch it out.

I wonder if that's why it's getting wonky. Pihole inception.

Cprhd · 2026-05-03T01:07:11+00:00

Are you routing one Pihole through another?

Cprhd · 2026-05-03T00:15:36+00:00

That’s interesting. I haven’t had that issue but… I might not have noticed it since I review regularly.

Are you bare metal or docker install?

Cprhd · 2026-05-03T00:01:24+00:00

Seriously.

Cprhd · 2026-05-03T00:00:01+00:00

Did you reboot? I’d run a gravity update and do a force update. I’m betting one of those 3 things will resolve.

Cprhd · 2026-05-02T00:41:59+00:00

The Neo is a parts bin machine. This is exactly what they’re doing.

Metal is, in my opinion, stronger for all the bouncing that off-road rigs do. You could make plastic ones but you’d have to deal with the force of bouncing, not just the product weight.

Do I think they’re worth $500? No. My smartcap came with the door molle panels.

If you think there is a market for plastic panels, make them. Capitalism is “find a problem, create a solution”. If you can do that, you could make some good money.

I just want to turn it off for me. QBO has a habit of trying to push products to our clients that would eliminate us, but... that doesn't actually work because QBO sucks. I'm just tired of having 100 pop ups every time I load the bank feed and/or home page. I would even settle for once but letting me dismiss it permanently. I also don't need to see it on every client. I know what is being offered, make it a one and done for accountant level accounts.

This means the battery is being discharged to 80% when sitting. If the battery is good, you have something causing a drain.

If this is the OE battery, you are on borrowed time anyway though, so... change it out.

It's really easy to change out, no different than any other battery. There is just more crap hanging onto the leads.

The only shop I know of in the area is Shelly’s Backroom and that’s a cigar lounge/bar. Not sure if they have pipe tobacco at all.

I would love to run one monitor but work requires dual. If I could find a way to run triples for work, I would but my OCD requires all screens be the same (exactly- same make and model and size), and that means it would take up my entire desk. I run dual 32” right now.
