  • (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)

    I bought a PiZero and set it up as a redundant pihole for this reason. It’s slower because it’s wireless, but not super noticeable since it’s ‘just’ DNS. I have the router pointed at the main and backup all the time and if I need to do something (or break the main one messing with dockers) there’s still the backup until I get the main up.

    I messed around with some High Availability configs where they both had the ‘same’ ip but could never get it working smoothly. I just use the teleporter functionality within pihole any time I update anything to keep them in sync, which is rare.





  • A tariff is what you pay to the government of the port of call to get the item you shipped.

    When you pay $1000 for a DJI drone and it get’s to Seattle the US government says “pay us $600 or it goes back on the boat.”

    The Chinese company sees literally zero impact other than possibly less orders and probably a wave of refused merch. Which they might keep some or all of the purchase price of anyway.










  • What are you talking about?

    This is not about streaming to a laptop or Internet access. This is about a long range, low power, low bandwidth network using 2.4GHz. It’s using 2.4GHz, like everyone else likes to, because it’s the “free” signal band that you don’t have to pay to license. It’s for sending the message “Sprinkler head 1039A is leaking” from a solar panel powered transmitter without having to run a data cable or network repeaters.

    It’s competition for Zigbee/Z-Wave/Matter. Not the herald of the ISP crackdown Armageddon.
