My first thought didn’t go to Kubrick.

Nzb geek and planet are two good ones.

There’s a few - but typically the free ones have limits on the number of downloads per day.

Nzbfinder and bin search used to be okay.

Look at newsgroups - some indexers are free, others have a lifetime fee that’s reasonable. I moved to nzbs and haven’t looked back - I can’t get dinged for sharing copyrighted stuff if I’m only downloading, never uploading.

I was confused when I first heard the term a few years ago - but once someone explained it, it clicked.

It’s also shocking how many “gun lovers” pose with guns and have their finger on the trigger.

When he said that, I instantly felt jealous.

I’m not a huge gun person, but isn’t that poor trigger discipline?

I’m convinced an utter lack of empathy is the reason why there’s a constant 40% support of Trump.

How many times do you read stories about some Republican politician or right winger suddenly be not as horrid toward “the gays” because their kid came out? (Admittedly, that seems to happen a whole lot less now)

These people just can’t put themselves in the shoes of anyone who isn’t exactly like them.

Thanks for whatever you were doing while watching this.

Did Ben of Ben & Jerry’s just thank me for pooping?

Can we double click on that for a second?

More often than not, my keys are in my hoodie pocket… under the jacket.

Protip for recipes in particular - add a date constraint on your duckduckgo/Google search. I’ve found that searching for anything before 2022 seems relatively AI free (unless the author has edited recently).

And most recipes don’t really evolve over the past three years, so there’s quite a bit to discover. If you find a good one, absolutely grab that shit offline/archive.is it so that it won’t disappear.

Another excuse to relisten to the Matt Smith St Anger parody!

Wait, both are DHCP providers? Admittedly, I haven’t looked too deep at pihole clusters - but do they synchronize their leases? If not, there’s a chance you might have duplicate IPs which can cause some interesting network behaviors.

If your logs say both are having issues at the same time, I’d go with the second troubleshooting option - accept DHCP, but statically set DNS to the same servers your Piholes use.

If there’s an issue, it’s with the upstream DNS (reachability or their rate limiting)

DNS isn’t instantaneous - and it’s hierarchical. If your systems are configured with pihole #1 (let’s say x.x.x.21) as primary and pihole #2 (x.x.x.22) for secondary and 21 fails, there will be a time when DNS requests time out. IIRC, for Linux it’s something like 4 seconds.

I know this because I saw a really weird thing at a work lab where requests were taking 8 seconds to complete for all the internal sites, but internet sites worked immediately. Turns out two of three PDNS systems in our cluster weren’t configured properly for local lookup and systems would timeout on primary (+4 sec), timeout on secondary (+4 sec), then resolve with the tertiary server.

I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here, but if this is a recent occurrence you could start with your primary/pihole and check system logs, updates etc. Or you could take a system that has this behavior and either swap the pihole order, and/or remove the pihole from the DNS all together to see if it’s even your gear causing the issue.

OMG, if the government shutdown could end snaps for app installs, I would be so happy.

AppImage or die.

Or if reading isn’t their jam, head to explainshell.

I’m not going to say this shit isn’t hard - it can be challenging starting out if you don’t know where to look. But come on, at this point everyone should know ChatGPT gets shit wrong often enough not to trust it.
