• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  To anyone having issues running on a pi it’s likely either or both of the following item -cheap 5v power supply. Yes you can use an old phone charger but it won’t cut it for long term usage. Get a quality unit or better yet the branded pihole charger. We ended up with a Poe hat that it runs off. Sorted Ethernet and power supply.

  -memory card. Buy a quality, fast card and you will be fine.

  Going on 8 years with my current pi setup. One failure around 6 years in which was the memory card

  It’s not a fishing rod, it’s something much more personal

  Experimented with various approaches, looking to replace an older Pegasus set of 6 drives and a file server.

  Unraid just worked. Lots of support and tutorials to get started. Look up Spaceinvader on YouTube as a starter

  I am getting prompts from the script for “Your Amazon Oath”

  Any idea where I can actually find/download this ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for USB-C/ Thunderbolt 3 meter cable recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I found it painful keeping track of what cable could do what and some screens/drives were picky.

  I have nothing to do with it this but bought one. (I also have a cheap one that’s more generic but doesn’t give anywhere near the same amount of information on cable health.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the best website to get Electronic components for small projects in Europe/Germany?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would at least check mouser.com

  Point it at Europe site and see how you go. I have had good luck with shipping from them to both Europe and Australia with decent time.

  Had to batch up my orders to make best use of shipping cost.
