I'll introduce you to the concept of WAF, Wife Acceptance Factor.

Basically, all smart IoT devices MUST default back to dumb behaviour in an expected manner. All MITM systems must either fail gracefully, fall back simply, or be robust enough to not fall over.

My NAS is currently sitting apart while I turn my wife's old PC into our new media/game/whatever server, it's been 3 weeks of different random shit not working/being forgotten (whoops, I tossed all my old sata cables! Oops, forgot that the PSU is shit and needs replacement! Oops, the dog PISSED ON JT AND RUINED THE MOTHERBOARD)

Wife is clearly annoyed that the automatic piracy machine isn't working and has threatened to resubscribe to streaming services if I don't fix it soon lol

(Just gonna upgrade my gaming PC and use MY old parts to cover the busted mobo I guess)

Yeah sure but for some of us it’s not because we have over-complicated our homes.

It’s because we do “fix the damn tech” at work all day and are too damn old to do it at home as well!

Get yourself a partner(s) who know a thing or two about tech and can at least perform basic troubleshooting and report to you.

Huge, thick cock but tiny brain and reeeeeeeeee? Pass. Small cock but can tell me when my homelab goes down, what services are actually affected, and suggest a solution that is plausible and is for up-to-date versions of X? Call in pizza and ice cream and clear your schedule, it's sexy time. And they knew a temporary solution for the outage so they aren't impacted while I was busy/away? Marry me.

There's a lot of other factors but that defo plays a factor. Learn tech, get blowjobs. It's that simple.

First of all, my parents have a Raspberry Pi V1.0 (the still holeless one) that has been piholing since day one. That's like a decade.
I keept it there, caseless and dangling from the lan cable, for sentimental reasons, I've grown fond of it.

Second of all, there is a secondary dns on Proxmox should the Pi need a rest.

Edit:
Forgot the third of all - that Raspberry doesn't even have a heatsink, much less a fan.

It's called a secondary DNS server. Like, literally the reason it exists. I guess it's still on the line towards knowing what TF you're doing. Every DHCP server offers at least 2 dns server options.

I feel attacked right now

Fun fact, theres a linux Pihole.

I kept having issues with my raspberrypi so i put a linux VM on my trueNAS server, then Pihole on it.

This is a mistake you only make once, which is why I now have a dedicated dmz network for work equipment that doesn't use the pihole for DNS resolution.

Full arr stack makes life much easier. Only time I got that look was when it pulls a .rar that didn't automatically extract. Wrote a script that transmission runs on completion and they extract when finished now.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Can confirm. Everything is broken. I wish I could say I was typing this on the laptop I built by duct taping a battery, a screen and a pi into a laptop but that doesn't work either because I have to mod up a laptop keyboard fpga hackfuck first 🤷

I'm not quite at Pi-Hole, I use OpenWRT on my router though.

I sent this to my wife and said "good thing our pi-hole is never down". Long story short, I think I'm sleeping on the couch tonight

Its a rookie mistake to implement a highly desirable, but low WAF (wife acceptance factor) solution to some shared resource.

The linked picture should have had a separate SSID that doesn't route through Pihole, so if the raspberry pie dies, wife know to simply change the SSID she connects to.

this one feels "oddly specific"

Your raspi needs a fan? I have mine just dangling from a USB-C cord wrapped around my router's antenna.

You only had one? You fool!

Just say it to my face, coward!

I'm sort of that entire curve. My house is "I don't care how you work, just work, okay?"

It's probably an even bigger risk of everything falling apart.

I've learned a long time ago, it's harder to get an intrusive maintenance window at home than it is at work (unless you work in a hospital).

I'm in this meme and I don't like it

I’m near the bottom of the curve, but definitely on the upward slope.

Can confirm that I am at fault if the internet is not working regardless of actual reason. Source: the wife

This entire scale is trivial, and shows little understanding of technology.

The raspberry pi is extremely simple to use.
