Pi-Hole is a really thing but I don’t think my tech skills are quite up to scratch. Plus I think the wife would get ratty if it stopped working while I was out.

If you run it bare metal (not in a dockercontainers for example) it's quite easy to set it up on a raspberry pi or other hardware. The wife would even know it's existence if you don't tell her and use a standard config in the blocklists ..give it a try ..you're gonna love it

Ad links from emails won’t work anymore. And the “top results” in Google won’t work.

The wife would complain.

Yup, the ad results in Google had to be whitelisted to increase the SO-acceptance-factor. But once that's done it's really not much of a hassle at all, but whitelisting is easy if you just check the recently blocked domains.

[-] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I eventually installed ad guard to remove the Google ad results (different browser plugins would work too). And indeed white listed some of the favorite shop links.

That only works when you're willing/allowed/able to configure each users private device. I probably could, but I'd prefer not to.

[-] fernandu00@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Hahaha really?! My wife didn't even noticed something different other than WhatsApp media files not loading (fixed whitelisting some wtt domain).. Too bad

You can set one up your network and just point your DNS request at it on a device-by-device basis. So your wife would only use it if she wanted to.

[-] idotherock@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Oh cool. That could be a good solution! Thanks!

Pi-hole is pretty robust and not super hard to set up. You can run pi-hole on relatively cheap hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi 3B. I’m a big fan of Libre Computing’s “le-potato” board for running pi-hole; it’s a cheap raspberry pi clone. You’ll need some basic Linux skills but if you can follow step by step directions you’ll be fine. If you use a raspberry pi or similar hardware you’ll also need a micro SD card reader during the set up process.

They even have a Linux distro just for running stuff like that on the Pi, it's called Dietpi and it's pretty bulletproof.

[-] rustydomino@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

yeah, can also use Raspian, which is a Debian variant designed for raspberry pi boards.

[-] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Dietpi is also Debian based but doesn't try to bring the whole show to your pi.

[-] idotherock@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Oh interesting! I’d never heard of le-potato. I’ll check that out, thanks!
