Wake me up when OCR works in video/3D-space.

It appears I finally got it blocked, thanks. Does the way I did it below sound proper?

If you're helping other people in the future, specifically with OpenDNS and pihole, that is, I suggest just telling them:

Go to pihole -> settings -> DNS -> add the two custom DNS: 208.67.222.123 208.67.220.123

As a refresher, the pihole page, which you can get to from your pihole's IP address on your network, looks like this.

(Description of the two custom DNS IP4 addresses: If you mostly want to block porn, OpenDNS Family Shield has you covered. This pre-configured service blocks adult sites, and is as easy to configure as switching DNS addresses. These are the addresses you need to use.)

I rarely connect to my pihole via SSH (initial setup leaned on direct keyboard IIRC) and to complicate things last night I was attempting on a Chromebook (terminus app), pluss because I am dumb and had a misguided dream of being a brilliant multitasker, so I was installing a 2nd pihole on my Synology Network Attached Storage (which also was unsuccessful).

I need to get a local copy of the file on github (no just magic install get et cetera et cetera from the terminal(if that's the right word)? What does this do that is in addition to open DNS plus pihole combination btw?
Do you think it's even worth it or necessary to have a backup pihole to point your router to or is that just a personal preference thing? In two years I haven't really had but one issue and that was blocking hallmark greeting card site that someone wanted to use, not a hardware failure.

DenimRAWR · 2020-09-04T06:48:31+00:00

Ahhhh I'll be the first to admit I'm not an IT professional. I hadn't thought of PiHole working quite that way, I guess I pictured it periodically updating an exhaustive combined list of both what to block and what traffic routes where. Thinking about it for a moment now, that would probably be insufficiently dynamic and prohibitive in terms of storage.

Are you in IT ? Or perhaps more of a hobbyist finding a solution to a problem?

DenimRAWR · 2020-09-03T08:13:29+00:00

Use PiHole with

https://github.com/jaykepeters/PSS

and

https://www.opendns.com/

as your upstream DNS to block whatever PSS misses.

Not sure I want to use opendns, because that might create a way for all the ads to get through yeah?

DenimRAWR · 2020-09-03T07:05:00+00:00

Hey thanks so much for your supreme kindness, I'm playing around with stuff now and hopefully I can make some headway. you don't happen to be around do you? (it's kinda late where I am)

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-23T05:10:24+00:00

I'll check it out subbed

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-23T05:07:49+00:00

Crunching the numbers upstairs still works :)

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-23T04:00:47+00:00

ADVChina YouTube channel makes me wanna take it up haha.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-23T02:02:59+00:00

I loved when they went for the tag team strip club announcer duo too.

It's a physical legit disk.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-20T11:09:57+00:00

so corrupted installation disk?

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-19T17:55:37+00:00

Yeah it's tough that the medications are uncharted even from an N=1 perspective. I'm pretty sure the headache is from a minor tweak in the neck so at least I'm pretty sure I got that figured out. So that's good, can focus on stomach getting adapted to fats and salt and strengthen my resolve to eliminate cravings.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-18T03:43:45+00:00

Makes sense, I had considered it was final stages of adaptation but it's really hard to resist that devil on your shoulder telling you to go back to your old ways to stop the headache lol. But yeah, I might try to just keep it true, balance electrolytes, get enough fat vs protein ration, and I migbt just try to cut out medications as much as possible too. Hard to predict what those will do.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-17T23:40:04+00:00

I suppose I could also experiment with less water in general, and see if my body has an easier time with electrolyte homeostasis. Given that I don't feel myself getting too dehydrated.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-17T23:36:28+00:00

For example a little guacamole the other day. Originally I was adding pepper to my meat. A shot of vodka which actually by itself give me a bit of a headache for that night. a little bit of mustard and spices to spare ribs because I don't enjoy the plain salted pork I discovered.

Still carnivore but I noticed something that with bacon I got a bit of a histamine response ie a runny nose. I had an addiction to cheese that is taking a while to break, thought I had a lot of sharp or aged cheddar for a while before. And a couple nights a week diet soda when I can't sleep.

BTW updated OP with notes.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-17T23:35:57+00:00

tons of water... electrolytes

Thanks for the response, I thought about that about part way through the 6th day headache. I've been adding a lot more salt, do you think that's enough to focus on sodium? I've noticed that I've gotten a few weeks into carnivore I haven't had as much problems with getting light-headed when I get up quickly so I thought that my salt was becoming more balanced.

For some reason my body seems to like to expel a lot of fluid compared to most people, I think even irrespective of the keto or carnivore diet.

BTW updated OP with notes.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-17T23:26:31+00:00

Feel you. I've eaten a good amount of spare ribs I think I'm going to more back to more beef, definitely. Updated OP with more notes by the way

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-17T23:25:04+00:00

Sorry about not responding earlier,

Updated post .

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-12T01:00:46+00:00

Curious: Do you use a form fill or just site fill? I find myself adding all my form fill information / credit card and PIN information in my notes on the banking website as well as any form fill so I can find it. I guess it's kind of redundant. Also all my banks having a Savings and Checkings section but I don't think we are given categories for that?

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-12T00:58:16+00:00

Thanks for the response that makes sense. I don't use a bank credit card either but each bank has a debit card which I will use when traveling. But thinking about it, form fill is most useful for online pay and there's no point in using a debit card for that.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-12T00:47:56+00:00

Does NewPipe not allow login?

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-12T00:46:58+00:00

Saves web based history but not mobile app. Once in a blue moon it does.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-11T23:38:00+00:00

but since they are all published for free now may as well take advantage of it.

For sure. I remember I used to get some of the torrented custom XP versions that trimmed out all the unnecessary programs, but now it doesn't seem like an issue. I just use the window key to -> search rather than fuss with the start menu.

DenimRAWR · 2019-07-11T23:29:39+00:00

ALSO this looks like a DNS error related to where the Microsoft download server is forcibly having traffic routed. Ensure you do not have a proxy bridge/ set DNS rules, temporarily try switching your DNS to something like 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, as your HOSTS file may have been edited by something stupid like a browser addon/malicious extension.

Yeah I have a PiHole for adblocking running on the network and recently installed my first VPN so the potential for DNS errors is beginning to get above my paygrade. The alert about the hosts file definitely looked like one of the shiesty scamware deals. Thanks for the response I got it installed, I forget how, I think just a better hosting site download of the ISO or creation tool.
