    • Open the GUI network settings
    • Set DNS to the IP of the PiHole, make sure the “automatic” switch is off.
    • Do the above for each active interface (ethernet, wlan) and for both IPv4 and IPv6
    • Save/apply settings
    • Turn the interface(s) off, then back on
    • resolvectl flush-caches just in case

    Look at resolvectl dns to check there’s no DHCP-acquired DNS servers set anymore

    If you use a VPN, those often set their own DNS servers too, remember to check it as well.







  • For a bit enhanced log file viewing, you could use something like lnav, I think it’s packaged for most distributions.

    Cockpit can be useful for journald, but personally I think GUI stuff is a bit clunky for logs.

    Grep, awk and sed are powerful tools, even with only basic knowledge of them. Vim in readonly mode is actually quite effective for single files too.

    For aggregating multiple servers’ logs good ol’ rsyslog is good, but not simple to set up. There are tutorials online.


  • Oh the times when getting GTA from a friend required 30+ 3½" floppy disks IIRC. That plus making 5 or 6 round trips to friend’s house, because one of them almost always got corrupted during the zip process.

    And since no one had the disk space or knowhow to store the zip packets on HDD for the inevitable re-copying, had to redo the whole pack from scratch each time.

    Edit: disk->HDD
