Good.

Goalposts in transit.

We want this game to be generous, both with your time and…

I think the point is the number of times someone is having such an issue, and those people show up to proclaim they’ve never had such problems as if it’s helpful. So, at least you can recognize it’s not.

I respect the reach.

Teamwork is always good.

I totally support you, thank you for not endangering anyone.

Just seems like enraged impotence engaged more than anything. I’d be more concerned about Pokemon Go players behind the wheel, if they’re still out there.

At this point, I’m half expecting someone to announce a “linux_circlejerk” community for all those posts being complained about today, to balance out the already newly formed “gnulinux” community where none of it should go.

Whoops, maybe your link has been hugged to death?

I think they just changed the article title, the visible portion of the original text still matches.

uh huh

Yes, that’s why I said “not necessarily.”

Not necessarily, I installed LMDE 6 and still needed to manually install the wifi drivers.

Contrary to what some have said here, it’s not unusual to have to download and manually install the wifi driver for Mint. It’s even mentioned as the one extra step in a cartoon comparing the time it takes to install three different distros. I had to do this for two different laptops.

OmanMkII already provided the link for intel, but here it is again:

Huh, I’ll definitely look into that. Both times I tried to route external pihole access, somehow other mystery services found it and it slowed to a crawl from getting absolutely pounded by requests not from me. Thanks for that tip!

Except that, as I’ve already mentioned, I have two piholes, and sometimes both will be receiving requests. Based on your description, the second would never receive requests as long as the first is online. Perhaps this is router dependent, but it’s what I’ve observed.

Pretty much. Not sure how the router determines which DNS to use, but mine seems to latch onto whichever one serves up results the fastest, which would inevitably be cloudflare direct after the pihole returns enough blocks.

So I use a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a dedicated pihole, and my Pi 4 seedbox acts as its own pihole and as a redundant backup. Then use gravity-sync from the Zero to the 4 to mirror the settings.

I have two piholes, and sometimes both will receive requests at the same time, if there’s a lot of traffic.
