Israel placed explosive material in a batch of Taiwanese-made pagers which were imported into Lebanon and destined for Hezbollah, the New York Times reported, citing American and other officials briefed on the operation.

(source)

I highly doubt every one of those pagers made it exclusively into a terrorists hands; but that's also why I included the second half of that sentence:

and/or used directly in the vicinity of civilians.

Regardless, it's evident many civilians have been harmed by this, and it was easy to predict this was the obvious outcome.

Huh, while I knew the civilian protections came later, I didn't know both Israel and the US never agreed to abide by them... TIL

It's still terrorism and incredibly wrong.

Yeah, that justifies putting explosives in thousands of devices shipped to civilians and/or used directly in the vicinity of civilians; causing thousands of innocent people to be injured and killed indiscriminately.

Fuck off.

This was an act of pure terrorism, ~~and (another) clear violation of the Geneva conventions.~~

“Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but a lame excuse. You can engage in procreation during breaks because life flies by too quickly,” he remarked

Yes, birth rates are falling because nobody has time to fuck. That's definitely the problem...

I host my own vpn from home, which keeps me behind my pihole(s) and able to access my private services without exposing them to WAN.

Also secures my mobile traffic from snooping/modifying while on public networks.

Coupons often drive sales for items that people usually wouldn't buy themselves, sometimes even to people that normally wouldn't shop there; then once they've tried something they haven't had before, the customer is more likely to purchase that again in the future.

Then there's additional items you add to the order beyond the coupon.

Finally there's some rather insane profit margins on some of those items. Even with the coupon, they're still making profit.

Find a problem they are experiencing and introduce them to a solution they can self-host to fix it. Expand from there.

I began my self-hosting journey 7ish years ago with media piracy and a desire to watch/access my files wherever I was. Learned of Plex, then Emby, Reverse Proxies, Domains, SSL, and on and on...

Today I'm running 24+ docker containers and some miscellaneous stuff, across 3 systems; that's always accessible via my domain/vpn.

what does not work:

  • i can not ping server.local (- for testing i have to stop the systemd-resolved.service to run the dnsmasq server, or else there are port collisions, but that should not be the problem i guess. I am happy to hear your solution :))
  • i can also not use ssh to log in to server.local, ip address works

Have you added "server.local" as a DNS record in your dnsmasq container, pointing to your servers LAN IP? Sounds like dnsmasq isn't resolving that name, which would lead to both of these 'failures'.

Oh damn, I hadn't noticed. My setup is still functioning just fine.

There is an alternative though: Orbital-Sync

I haven't actually used it, so I can't say much about it; but I'll probably look into replacing gravity-sync with that.

https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/

I use this to translate DNS to DoH, and use cloudflare, and quad9 upstream.

environment:
  - TUNNEL_DNS_UPSTREAM=https://1.1.1.1/dns-query,https://1.0.0.1/dns-query,https://9.9.9.9/dns-query,https://149.112.112.9/dns-query

Haven't really noticed any DNS based lag.

Why not both?

My primary DNS is pihole on a rpi dedicated to the task; but I run a second instance of pihole via my main docker stack for redundancy. Should one or the other be unavailable, there's a second one to pick up the slack.

I just provide both DNS IPs to LAN clients via DHCP.

Gravity Sync is a great tool to keep both piholes settings/records/lists in sync.
