Is this a good thread for pihole questions?

I’ve had a Pi 4 sitting around collecting dust that I finally turned into a pihole. Works great, the only problem is my Fios router.

Apparently there is a thing where Fios routers are very difficult about allowing something else to be the DNS server. I set the router up to use the pihole as DNS, but in the pihole Query Logs it now lists everything as the router’s IP.

I read up on it and it just sounds like Fios routers are stupid about DNS, it uses the pihole to query but refuses to admit it’s using another DNS server in any logs.

Anyone else with the same setup figure out a way around this?

Which Fios router?

I have similar results with adguard home in docker vs a Linux container. The docker version thinks there’s only one client, but the lxc version logs correctly. This is with each client directly connecting as my Arris router for AT&T fiber does not let you pick your DNS server.

Make sure you’re adjusting the LAN settings. Some of those routers let home users dick with wan settings for some baffling reason.

Better yet, don’t use the ISP gear for anything other than providing an internet connection and do your business behind a cheapie firewall and APs. Unifi sells cheap stuff with optional cloud integration.

With that being said, does the new version (6, :confused: ) still require Lighttpd for the admin page, or did the rewrite include it's own web server panel without lighttpd? :v:

Your ISP router (which is guaranteed to be garbage, yes) should have an option with "Passthrough" in the name. It basically turns it into a simple modem rather than doing any routing, so you can plug in your own vastly superior device.

Xfinity/Comcast calls this "Bridge Mode." And yeah, that's what I've done from the beginning. That's just sitting there as a pure modem. The UDM Pro is doing all the Defcon 1 routing :engleft:

It has eliminated lighttpd, if I read the screens correctly when I reflashed my 3B Pihole/PiVPN yesterday.

Hadn't had to do that in forever but Wireguard just stopped accepting my phone's connection and I figured it was overdue. Only hassle was I couldn't log in with my SSH key and it took about an hour to figure out that the same key I've been using for local stuff like this for like ten years was so old it was no longer accepted on default settings. (I did generate a new one.)

I've been thinking about building one of those desktop arcade cabinets based on Retropi. Is there some analog trigger type thing that would work well for a gas and brake pedal for driving games?

I know it’s the trope of this thread but just get any recent used office PC for like $100, if the desktop cabinet is a tight squeeze go with USFF/SFF. You can still run Retropi or whatever Linux-based arcade dealie you want but you’ll have an infinitely better time

I've been waffling on this for like ten years, and wound up deciding that actually there isn't anywhere in this 900 ft² house where a big ol' video game cabinet wouldn't look awful.

Most arcade controls have 80s heritage and are simple on/off switches - joysticks and buttons - the exceptions are spinners and trackballs.

You could also try googling flight sticks or DIY pedals - those would be analog

Yeah I’m in a similar situation, around 1000sqft and no rooms to put a rack of loud gear in. I have a hifi stand with 2 shelves dedicated to stuff instead, so my Mac Mini and 2x DAS units take up one shelf and I have a HP workstation taking up the other that runs proxmox and most of my other server-y stuff until I move it over from the Mac.

You might want to consider just having an externally accessible USB port so you can plug in a wheel or controller as needed. MAME is flexible enough that using a digital control for analog is possible, but depending on the game, it’s not always playable.

Analog arcade buttons DO exist, but I’ve never seen a build with them. In theory 2 of those and a spinner would work for driving games. Not sure how it would play with 270° wheel games though.

I've got a very similar setup: a Raspberry Pi 4 server (now a ZimaBoard) and a USB-attached DAS. The Pi is strapped to the leg of an endtable that goes up against the wall, and the DAS is under the sofa.

I was thinking we could move all that, and the printer, into the arcade game cabinet, and clean up the area between the end table and the wall. But then I realized the tradeoff is a big-rear end video game cabinet in the house somewhere, LOL.

The end table and sofa arrangement is practically invisible anyhow, so whatevs.

By "desktop", I was thinking more like this, but probably with a 6-8" screen:

I am an awkward fellow
after all
The Pimoroni LCD/OLED screens are loving fantastic, and I assume that's where a good chunk of that kit's cost comes from. Seriously I think their screens continue to sell because you just can't get something of that quality from the Aliex arena. I have a couple 3.5/4" screens that I can't quite capture how good they are with the camera setup I have now, but when you see them in person it's like night and day compared to the waveshare clones you can get for 1/2-1/3 the price.
