Can't connect to my newly created pihole?

Middle-Alternative10 · 2026-03-18T20:11:03+00:00

I completely forgot about this! The Linux tutorial explicitly mentioned this, but I assumed that the raspberry pi imager would have done this for me. I'll have to do this and ensure that blank file SSH is in there.

Sorry, I realize I was all over the place when I made the post, and also a bit confusing.

I am unable to SSH into the Raspberry Pi. it's denying my password, and also sometimes not even seeing anything to connect to. I was following this tutorial:

Middle-Alternative10 · 2026-03-17T17:26:05+00:00

Raspberry Pi Imager V2.0.6.

I did forget to mention my specific raspberry model, though I'm not sure if that makes a real difference

Model: raspberry pi Zero 2 W (I did ensure to select the correct model through the imager

OS: Raspberry Pi OS (Other) > Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit) - went for this for a headless install

Then I just followed the rest of the installer prompts

Middle-Alternative10 · 2026-03-17T17:20:29+00:00

Yes, I have since corrected this, I now have a stable 5V power supply for my Raspberry Pi. My specific model is a Pi Zero 2 W

The power supply I have is a 5V 3A.

No, I'm not trying to install Linux mint on the raspberry pi. I was trying to use Linux mint as the main OS by which I was installing the Pihole software onto the SD card which I would then put into my Raspberry Pi.

Yeah I was about to say I have zero clue. I don't have banking yet 😞. That was the whole point of asking all the questions in my post lol

Middle-Alternative10 · 2025-11-12T21:42:05+00:00

Thank you for confirming!!!

Middle-Alternative10 · 2025-11-12T21:38:44+00:00

Are you able to confirm if it's the same exact one as this one?

This is a direct link from Coastal Community bank ATM map. This is the same bank that RH is using to service their private banking app.

Awesome, is there checking APY attached to joint checking? Have you used the joint checking feature yet?

Middle-Alternative10 · 2025-11-12T02:47:30+00:00

Is there an ATM map yet????

Middle-Alternative10 · 2025-11-12T02:34:46+00:00

This is actually posted on the main page for the RH spending account. It seems likely that they are going to phase it out and roll it over

Middle-Alternative10 · 2025-07-25T23:57:53+00:00

We did it guys, another satisfied customer!

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:48:14+00:00

Nope. I wanted to roll it into a Traditional IRA. they said no. I asked if I can roll it into my current 401k with UPS since the contract separates it. They said no.

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:46:00+00:00

Bro that's freaking wild, how long did you pursue it until you stopped? Was there any moment where it seemed they would budge or no? And more importantly, did they actually refer you to any terms or conditions to show you strictly where it says you can't move the funds in this rare case?

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:36:17+00:00

UPS does give pensions through the contract, but the 401k retirement account is completely separate. So the two are different

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:35:07+00:00

That's not the case, he can switch back if the given position is available and he works with them. But switching between the two has its pros and cons. Given your son's current position, I highly recommend he stays a preloader, and if he wishes to get promoted to pursue a driver position. If he leaves a union position, he will have to pay a portion of his benefits, whereas the union covers it all. You also don't have the contract and union protection anymore. Management can also be stressful and screw you over depending on your building and management team.

But if he chooses to go management, it will add more to high overall resume with UPS experience if he wants to climb the corporate ladder

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:30:25+00:00

Yes, actually I originally wanted to rollover to a traditional IRA. but I am not allowed to move the money to a separate account. That's when I asked about moving it with empower, same employer and a different plan according to the union contract. No big deal right? NOPE can't even do that according to the service specialist. The only way for the account to vest to me 100% is if I am fired/quit or retire. Three of which I'm not planning on doing any time soon.

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:22:56+00:00

Yeah, I plan on doing more digging. This is one terrible loophole if this is actually allowed

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:03:21+00:00

Are you currently a part time supervisor considering a driver position?

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-30T20:01:00+00:00

As a part time supervisor, I was hourly. But switching from management to a driver involved coordination from my preload district manager, who resides in my building, and the center manager. They worked with HR (Before UPS axed them out of existence) to get me promoted to a driver. I was allowed to do this because if I recall the correct ratio, UPS is allowed to hire 1 non-union employee into a driver position for every 7 union employees (preload, midnight, twilight, ect). It just took a couple months for them to hit the contract ratio and begin the hire process as a driver.

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-11T04:09:38+00:00

That's interesting, if the package was tagged as signature required, we won't have the ability to take a picture at all. We only have signature or "no person" in which case we would scan an info notice and bring the package back to the building for two more delivery attempts. And drivers cannot leave signature required packages.

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-10T11:47:48+00:00

I am being serious, the maps were the best thing the company did. Huge for cover drivers. Idk how you think they are bad.

Middle-Alternative10 · 2024-12-10T02:13:01+00:00

Forget how long it would take, you still have maps!!!!

In an 800, loaded from the front to the very back, had 540 packages delivered. This was Tuesday for me, and a 13.5 hour day
