Blue Footed Booby posted:I got it working with authentication disabled in transmission. Then when I enable auth it tells me there's an authentication error. Except the web interface works using the same exact name and password (I copy pasted from a text file to make sure). Sonarr is in a docker container; transmission is not. Turning off both whitelist options in transmission via the config changed nothing. Googling is finding a bunch of things my problem definitely isn't, like issues that happen when sonarr and the torrent client are in different containers, or not stopping the daemon before editing the config json file. I remember needing to copy the hashed password from a config file or use secrets file instead of just the human-entered one.

They crash, do automatic updates, and let you browse the web. My favorite part of the information age is that processors are so powerful these days that lots of stuff has horsepower to spare because it was genuinely cheaper to buy some unnecessarily powerful chip that's already made by the million rather than something bespoke that's closer to what's needed. Thus when some third-rate manufacturer fucks up, you end up with a botnet of lightbulbs and refrigerators taking down Netflix for hours.

Any recommendations for plug-and-play portable screens? I'm doing some stuff with stationary cameras and getting focus set through VNC lag is tough, but I'm having trouble finding screens that aren't expected to be mounted directly to the Pi. Touch is nice but not required.

Is this the place to ask Pi-hole questions? Admittedly I have no experience with pis or SBCs in general, but I got it set up on a pi zero w. I added a bunch of blacklists but stuff is still coming through that my browser adblock usually gets. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried adding specific urls to the blacklist as well and it doesn't block them.

You won't get YouTube ads blocked by the pihole. It blocks by dns and the YT ads come from the YT address..

IMO the takeaway is that DNS interception was never a good solution for anything, it was always technically easy to bypass, just actually doing so wasn't particularly widespread.

The article you linked is about setting up dns over https (for a pihole that's also a DHCP server). the pihole can disable browser DoH through use of a canary domain. another thing to keep in mind is that for full effect of a pihole (or any DNS filtering), you need to configure your edge firewall/router to intercept any outbound port 53 traffic and send it to the pihole. this will catch any devices or software that have hardcoded DNS servers (like google). when it comes to blocking ads, DNS filtering like the pihole are really meant to be used in conjunction with browser script blockers that pull most of the weight, like ublock origin. the main function of a DNS filter is to intercept malicious domain requests as well as telemetry/tracker domains, and basic content blocking. a lot of ads are served from the same domain now, like youtube, so only something that gets in the browser and blocks the scripts from loading will be effective.

xtal posted:Wow I wonder why the huge ad company is backing this. Might be a bad idea. Relying on DNS to block ads (or anything else) has been a crappy option since the days of HOSTS files. Just because someone wrapped a nice appliance UI around the same bad idea didn't make it any better. --- Beyond that, Apple and Mozilla are also backing DoH. Firefox implemented it before Chrome in fact. Microsoft has also implemented support in Windows 10. Implying this is being pushed by Google solely to kill crappy ad blocking is nonsense. Tamper protection technologies can't and don't differentiate between tampering for good and tampering for evil. It is impossible to have a protocol that allows me to trust my DNS traffic is secure when connected to an untrusted network without also allowing an advertising-supported application to trust its own DNS traffic in the same way. You get both or you get neither, and the cat's already out of the bag here.

xtal posted:Wow I wonder why the huge ad company is backing this. Might be a bad idea. The number of people using piholes is minuscule. Google doesn't doesn't give a poo poo about piholes. They probably like how DoH fucks over other advertisers and ISPs who data-collect via DNS, because those are google's competition. But mostly they care about increased security. Encrypted DNS is good, it just means that the simple 1-2-3 pihole setup for unsophisticated users isn't very good anymore. Here are instructions for putting a DoH resolver on a pihole. I'm sure that eventually the pihole people will update their stuff such that it does DoH out of the box, but it will unavoidably be a more complicated setup. To get a browser inside your network to only hit the pihole for DNS you either need to configure settings on the browser, or configure your router to block / redirect requests to the pihole. IMO the easiest and least troublesome setup for a home network is to have unencrypted DNS between your browser/PC and a local DNS server, and encrypted DNS between the local DNS server and the rest of the internet. The security & privacy is still there but it's far easier to troubleshoot. I run asuswrt-merlin + diversion like this and it was a much easier setup process because it's all happening on the one gateway between inside and outside. But this also involved me disabling DoH on browsers, which isn't great for any device that might leave my home network.

Random question, but is it safe to run a Pi exclusively off of an SD card? I remember something about memory cards having a finite number of write cycles but idk if that’s relevant or accurate

Most of my SD cards have poo poo themselves eventually. Buying good quality ones is pretty important (I usually don't do that) and you can lock the filesystem so that unnecessary writes are prevented. Doing that, some people have had them successfully run Pis for years on end.

Use the SD card just for boot and system files, and have all your data and logs and such elsewhere. The SD card should basically be considered read only. If you follow that rule then any SD card will work forever, and if they don't they are easy to replace.

I've had my music box Pi running off SD card for over a year, no issues yet. Name brand sandisk card, but the basic cheap version thereof. I don't care enough to equip it with better storage because it doesn't have anything unique on it and a rebuild would be pretty easy. Also I feel like the application is a lot of how reliable the SD card is gonna be. Premade pi stuff that the authors know is likely to just run off the card is probably configured to do minimal logging and generally going easy on it, to the extent possible. AFAIK the most common way that cards get messed up or killed is power loss during writes. Rolling your own system starting with raspberian or whatnot you probably have to pay attention to that stuff yourself, or use a real drive.

I've got pi's that have been running the same card for 7+ years now that haven't eaten themselves and run 24/7 Good quality cards are a must and do something with your logging If it's something I don't need the logs for I just mount /var/log to ram. If I know I'll need them between reboots I use the log2ram script which backs them up occasionally

Pretty much yes, however some badly written services won't start without a log or directory present first And obviously you lose them all on a reboot, so troubleshooting issues can be hard The log2ram script solves all that if it's an issue E: "GitHub - azlux/log2ram: ramlog like for systemd (Put log into a ram folder)" https://github.com/azlux/log2ram Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Feb 12, 2021 |

I’ve got my Pi up and running. I have some projects in mind and have found some components I want to use but I don’t have any electrical engineering or circuit design experience. I haven’t found many useful guides as the search results seem pretty worked over for SEO. For example there are plenty of charts for the GPIO pins, but I haven’t seen anything that really explains what the different types of pins are good for. I’d also like to know if there are any good starter kits for building things, like wires and resistors and capacitors (not that I know the difference between them). I’d like to avoid soldering, don’t mind taking up a little space, and don’t need make anything permanent right now. I mostly want to play with sensors. Also I’m looking at components on Adafruit and a lot of cool parts are out of stock. Do things tend to get replenished regularly or no?
