My laptop is called xontros-gatos, which in my native language means fat-cat. Similarly, my server is called server-cat, a small laptop that I have for testing stuff is called small-cat and a new laptop that I just got is called fatter-cat.

After having upgraded my Pi-Hole to v6, for some reason yesterday it started to not recognize any of the blocklists. So, I resetted it and now it works.

Yes I know that it represents the IQ. I read books.

Unfortunately, many of the cars transmit the surveillance data through phone carrier data lines, using an embedded SIM card. So, sadly I don’t think this would help very much.

I wanted to make it in chronological order. You’d know that if you read books.

Yes, this is it. I bought it because it was cheap (100€) and had a built-in CPU. The only problems are that it hasn’t got many SATA or PCIe ports. This is fine however, because I have no need for them right now.

This is a custom built mini PC, with a mini-ITX motherboard and an Intel N100 CPU. It gets powered by a power supply that I got from an old computer. Also, it needs no active cooling, just a heatsink. It almost never gets above 60°C.

(and yes, it has no case).

In it I run:

• Jellyfin
• All of the *arr stack
• Pairdrop
• My website
• My personal Lemmy instance
• Immich
• Pi-Hole
• Home Assistant
• Grafana/Prometheus/Node-Exporter stack for monitoring

I managed to fix this problem by pointing my domain name to my private IP address (with pihole’s local DNS entries), so I could access it. Then, I just got certs for the domain and applied them with nginx.

I know, but for some reason my router does not let me access my domain (with duckdns) when connected to my network. So even if I get certs for the domain, I will not be able to access it. I have set up local DNS entries (with Pi-Hole) to point to my srrver, but I don’t know if it possible to get certs for that, since it is not a real domain.

EDIT: Fixed it. (See reply for fix)

Yes, basically on internal LAN I put admin admin to everything.

Doesn’t Signal also require a phone number?

OK, WhatsApp is owned by Meta and it is proprietary, but why not Telegram?

Yes

I already have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB of RAM lying around. Can I somehow connect it to the TV and use it via the TV remote? If so, what OS would I need to install to it, and what software would I use?

I already have, but piHole doesn’t block YouTube ads.
