  Their android app is total garbage and frustrates me to no end. I’m seriously considering just going back to pirating my music just because I hate spotifys music app…

  With containers, most will have a persistent volume that is mapped to the host filesystem. This is where your config data is. When you update a container, just the image is updated(pihole binaries) but it leaves the config files there. Things like your block lists and custom dns settings, theme settings, all of that will remain.

  You can do this with beef or chicken too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My new favourite password manager⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I host vaultwarden at home. No real need for a vps since your passwords are synced to your phone or laptop(whatever client you’re using) and you can just sync it when you’re home if you make changes, or setup a VPN (I use wireguard) and sync on demand when needed.

  That said, I do sync my database to a vps for dr purposes incase my home server suddenly vanishes… for critical services I follow a 3-2-1 backup rule but it’s not absolutely essential.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I run pihole on a proxmox cluster (lxc containers), 2 separate IPs and I setup keepalived and made the virtual IP the primary dns ip that my dhcp server hands out, pihole1 is the master and pihole2 secondary. I use gravity sync to keep both piholes in sync. Works very well and I can reboot one at a time without losing dns at all. Techno tim on YouTube has a guide on how to setup keepalived on 2 pihole servers that helped me set it up.

  OK I’ve tried in the past to make a decent streaming box from both windows media center edition and various Linux distros. But I need something that is simple, can be controlled entirely from a remote, and has the major streaming apps (Netflix, disney, etc). I haven’t really found any solution that’s easy enough for non techie people to use. I have a standalone roku box that works ok we also have a roku TV which is a giant piece of garbage, and I’m considering buying an external roku or nvidia shield as a streaming box instead, I do have a couple of raspberry pi 4s I could use one but again I’m faced with the same issues.

  I’ve had bad luck with all the name brand router wifi combos. I’ve tried several high end models, from tplink to linksys to net gear. I’ve finally built a pfsense box as a router/firewall (qotom mini pc) and I’ve switched to ubiquity ap6 in my house. Finally something that works well for me.

  Granted it depends on what you’re comfortable with and what you use your devices for. I’m using vlans and vpns and different interfaces for various different things so I need the extra functionality pfsense offers.
