I have no idea why I made this
  • Funny. I think the real reason is that it’s just not very good at making two people yet and gets confused sometimes. But I made about 50 other variants and I could barely get it to make Trump smile because I assume most of the training data is of him not smiling. I had to emphasize the term “smiling” like 4x to finally get it to work for Trump.

  • When Pi-hole is down?
  • I’m not exactly sure how many queries, but it’s above the free limit. I purchased the pro plan. For $20 a year and it’s been a great service for me. I can send a referral code for 30% off (I think). I think adguard has a similar service.

  • When Pi-hole is down?
  • I don’t think this accomplishes what he wants. The router DHCP will assign the second DNS address as you mention, but the devices will select one at random, not as a backup/failover. So what happens is that devices sometimes go through the Pi-hole and sometimes go through the secondary DNS address and receive ads. The only real way I’m aware of is to have a second pi-hole for redundancy. Personally, I decided to use a cloud based service (NextDNS) for this exact reason. I didn’t want my families internet to rely on devices that I host.

  • Adblocker for TV - AdGuard is available for Android TV: here is how it works
  • An option for you. Setup a WireGuard server on your network and use the WireGuard mobile app to use that VPN connection when not connected to your home WiFi. Then you’re always using the internet through your pihole. That’s how I have mine setup and it works well.

  • Please help me choose a clear coat, I'm overwhelmed

    I made my wife a floating shelf out of poplar. The wood has a nice light color and we’d like to leave it relatively natural. I’m overwhelmed by the clear coat options and don’t have a lot of experience with natural wood look. Any recommendations? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Yes, but probably not for the reason you are thinking.

    Do You Need To Wash Rice Before Cooking? Here’s The Science

    I found this article pretty interesting… it seems to contradict the current cooking zeitgeist

    Please help me dial in my espresso.

    I'm relatively new to the espresso game and my espresso always tastes a bit sour... please help! I'm using a Breville Barista Express. From what I understand, the sourness is generally because of under extraction. The water seems to be at around 190-200 degrees, so I don't think that's the issue. I've tried to dial in the grind size so that pulling a shot takes around 25-30 seconds. At that grind size, the pressure gauge is at the very top of the range. I believe if I go finer with the grind, then it'll take longer to brew and push the pressure up higher. I'm not sure exactly what to do to address this. Could it be that I'm tamping too hard? I push relatively firm, aiming for about 30 lbs of pressure. Thanks for the help!

    Look what my idiot contractor (me) did

    Any great ideas on how to pull the outlet forward without pulling the panel off? I’m thinking I might be able to cut the board enough to get the outlet tabs out but still hide the hole behind the plate.

    Can iOS apps leak private data while not actively in use?

    I understand that apps on my iPhone can harvest my private usage data for things like advertising, selling my data, etc... Is that data only collected while actively using the app, or can it also be collected while the app remains closed and not in use?
