Thank you.

I am sorry, I am but a worm just starting Docker and I have two questions.

Say I set up pihole in a container. Then say I use Pihole's web UI to change a setting, like setting the web UI to the midnight theme.

Do changes persist when the container updates?

I am under the impression that a container updating is the old one being deleted and a fresh install taking its place. So all the changes in settings vanish.

I understand that I am supposed to write files to define parameters of the install. How am I supposed to know what to write to define the changes I want?

Sorry to hijack, the question doesn't seem big enough for its own post.

I use it. Sometimes it can't though, which is my cue to leave.

When a company' website doesn't work on Firefox I don't get angry at Firefox, I just don't use the site. When a company makes their cookie popups are a pain in the ass I don't get angry at the EU, I get angry at the company that made the popup. I use Firefox as a Canary that dies when a website is a piece of shit.

Maybe it's a win-win, I don't have to deal with Apple's bullshit and Apple doesn't have to waste resources on me, for me to block all their shady shit.

Salsicca, which I think translates to Sausage. Sausage is a good name.

Firebog.net Ticked lists as a collective, over 10^6 domains long now. Firebog have lists organised by how likely it is to impact general browsing, ticked being least likely (basically do you want to be black listing or white listing).

I set one up. My IT skills begin and end with being a millennial that had to troubleshoot what I wanted to get to work before App stores.

You'll be fine in general searching "Pihole setup (insert OS here)". Some minor troubleshooting was necessary in my case, could be an ID10T issue though.

Music is my main media and I pay Deezer specifically to recommend me stuff.

For games, I'm on an emulation streak, so top X listicles. Mostly, I'm racking my brain for things I thought were interesting but never played/didn't finish/want to experience again.

For TV and movies (and new games), I care a lot less about and I mean a lot less, so word of mouth. If all my colleagues, family, and friends are raving about the new hotness I'll find out.

I have nothing to add, and an upvote isn't enough. Truly, thank you for your time, there's a lot to think about.

I think for this initial iteration I'm going to direct install in the name of keeping it simple. Next go around I'll try containerising, just to learn if nothing else. If I out-grow the Pi4 they'll be good skills to have.

Thanks. I already have Log2Ram running to prolong the life of the SD. My planned disaster relief is a spare SD, already set up and taped to the box ready to swap and reboot in case of emergency. SD cards are cheap so chucking <£10 at the setup once in a while is no big thing. A fresh install on the new SD allows me to improve on what I've already done, for example the new SD I'll run DietOS instead of Raspbian, and reinforce skills. Less time efficient but that's no matter when the box is working and it's a hobby. I can then keep the old SD card taped inside the case as a physical back up. Perhaps more expensive in the long run, but an SD card taped to the inside of the case with simple instructions is an easy sell to the fiancée.

My experience with guides has shaken my confidence quite a bit. Which is fine, I'll get over myself and the point is to learn, so me hitting snags is a good thing. But, until I have a functioning back up I'm not going to be fucking with it. Facebook cannot go down on account of my education.

But if I may, I have one question, a bunch of recommendations have the setup "segregated" (I dunno the word) in Docker and Portainers but I don't understand the rationale. I wasn't intending on doing this, instead opting to install Pi-hole, Log2Ram, UFW, and the... other... softwares directly to the OS for simplicity. Why would one set up a Pi-hole et al in a containers instead of directly?

My current set up is Raspbian OS running Pi-hole as ad, tracker, malware block and DHCP (the ISP router is a Sky2 box so no IP or DNS customisation), Log2Ram and UncomplicatedFireWall.

I went with a pi running pi-hole. I got it as a project where the tool is the project. But, it's essential infrastructure now and I don't want to mess with it incase I break it. I'm an idiot with a poor history with pi guides so far, so I will break it. It's running the adblock fine, I assume it's doing the tracking and malware blocking fine too.

Sadly, that's where I leave the project for now, I had intended to give it a HDD and some... other... software but I really don't want to break it. I tried convincing the better half that I obviously need to N+1 but she wisely did not see reason.

Funnily, I just finished this game for the first time last week. Wonder what happened in our lives that it became relevant. I might use the guide for a NG+ if it tells me how to get the lightsaber.

Mine was that I got an emulation setup capable of PS2 and GameCube. I'm making a conscious effort to finish games instead of downloading 10,000 games and just staring at the menu. So I have 1 narrative game (currently Zelda Windwaker) and a few genre games (fighting, racing) that I can dip in and out of.

Ico I never played at the time, and certainly wouldn't have enjoyed it if I played it 20 years ago. I'm still digesting it if I'm honest. I think it mostly did what it wanted, I did become protective of Yorda. But, I think I wanted to play through it quicker than it wanted me to progress, instead of pausing to absorb through the backtracking and repeat sections I just wanted them over. Maybe that's me with the weight of all the other games I wanted to get to after Ico, or I'm not the introspective type, or it failed to get me into an introspective space I dunno.

Free wouldnt work either. nobody would make any content.

Except it was free, and people did make content.

I quit smoking 6 years ago. It's tough honestly, it helps that there are no smokers in my social group. When I'm out with smokers I usually bum a cig, particularly when drinking.

I was hospitalised for a couple months, I couldn't physically take myself out for a smoke and the nurses weren't going to wheel my bed down, so they gave me patches. I figured I'd quit smoking when I got out to continue the work already done.

I still want to smoke, I like that it gives me something to do and haven't really found a replacement for it, doom scrolling maybe. It also gave me something easy to manage, if that makes sense, low stakes and easy problem to solve every day. I smoked for 10 years and my habit was just less than a pack a day, sometimes more not often less. Hopefully, it gets easier in 4 years when I've been a non-smoker for as long as I was a smoker.

Transitioning to vaping was easier, I was at or near the vanguard of that movement, when we were building our own coils and shoving batteries into tupawares and blowing ourselves up. Whenever I craved a real cig, I'd buy 10, smoke them and go back to vaping. I'd buy a pack every week, then every month, then every 2 months... I hoped quitting would be the same, it was not.

One of my friends just woke up a non-smoker the same time that I quit, and our experiences are night and day. I get cravings all the time, this guy: "why would I get cravings? I don't smoke." His brain just decided it was done smoking one day.

I feel you're missing the point, OK, I grant all of what you said is true and it doesn't change anything. COVID isn't a parasite. Therefore, it is just as effective against COVID as snake oil, or horse dewormer. To imply it is useless in the case of COVID by labelling it as such is not misleading at all.

Going back to your analaogy. If a person is using the contraceptive as a contraceptive then calling it "gorrilla birth control" I agree is silly. However if the person is using the contraceptive to cure cystic fibrosis, then the person is silly and to call it "gorrilla birth control" would be a fun way of highlighting that fact. It could even be an award winning contraceptive of you like, wouldn't change anything.

Please listen to what I'm saying, if I can accept all of what you say is true and it doesn't disagree with my point then we are not having a conversation. You are talking past me and it's silly.

A distinction without difference. So what if it has other uses? None of them are more effective against COVID as it's use as horse dewormer. Again, it isn't misleading in fact or implication.

The people using the horse dewormer are silly, calling it horse dewormer brings light to that fact.

I think the problem with your analogy is that it isn't analogous. The flaw is that the drug is used as a contraceptive in both species, so it has similarity in use, you'd be silly calling it gorilla contraceptive because it is effective as a contraceptive. If people started taking gorilla contraceptive to cure cystic fibrosis (actually analogous) call it gorrilla contraceptive to mock them all you want.

It's not misleading in either accuracy or implication. It is not inaccurate to say it is horse dewormer, it is also not misleading to imply it is as effective as using horse dewormer.

Have you read that? The last time I saw that many hedges I was through the looking glass.
