• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Noob question about PiHole⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I run multiple pinholes using keepalived. Then I only use one DNS in my DHCP server. Second pihole will seemlessly take over if the first one goes down whilst using the original DNS address.

  Work quite well. I had to learn the hard way that only using a single pihole was just asking for my partner to be mad when it didn’t work / when I was doing server maintenance. Now I have multiple and they can all seemlessly take over if any my server nodes are down

  I’ll die before I give up my automatic wipers! Thankfully my 2004 and 2013 VWs have it and don’t lock me out of features like new cars.

  That is not correct. The DRAM is not part of the same die that the SoC is on. It is separate packages directly beside the SoC. The storage is also separate packages.

  If it was all one die it would be huge and have poor yields.

  How is your Plex install so big? My library is like 6x larger and my Plex install lives in a 24GB VM

  A heat pump isn’t any more efficient than a AC only unit of the same SEER rating. They are literally the same system with the heat pump having a couple extra valves and parts to reverse the flow of the refrigerator.
