  My Pi hole has been up and solid for about a decade now, so not sure “isn’t really stable long term” is landing

  Thank you for the in-depth explanation, Technitium sounds really involved. I just plunked down a pi hole, turned it on, and it’s been working for years and years. I’ll keep this in mind though if I ever want to drive myself nuts with networking

  AdGuard looks like a paid SaaS service though? No way am I paying for someone else running a device on my network, no friggin way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosting a DNS Sinkhole is really important⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh. I guess if you just want dead simple ad blocking, pi hole is still the way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosting a DNS Sinkhole is really important⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In what way(s)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you monitor your servers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure! In Uptime Kuma, add a monitor with type Push. It gives you a URL with a unique token, and the monitor goes into “down” state if nothing calls that URL within the heartbeat interval. Then have a cron (or a systemd timer or whatever) run this on the machine with the drive every 5 or 10 minutes:

  use=$(df --output=pcent /mnt/yourdrive | tail -1 | tr -dc ‘0-9’)
  curl -fsS -G “http://your-kuma:3001/api/push/TOKEN --data-urlencode “status=up” --data-urlencode “msg=${use}% used” --data-urlencode “ping=${use}”
  

  Ping is of course meant to be response time, but Kuma will graph any number you toss in, so you get a “filled” chart for the drive. I also send status=down once usage passes a threshold. And if the box itself should fall over for some reason, the missing check-ins trigger the alert too.

  (I typed this quick on my phone, so please double-check and probably don’t blindly copy-paste)

  Uptime Kuma! For HDDs I have them report their “ping” as percentage full

  OK but daddy Sony just laid off nearly all the talent, so how is this even going to be remotely possible?

  Sounds pretty opposite-of-sensitive
