Step 1: post title must describe the key question.

Your title is garbage.

You are correct - this isn't a tech issue at its root. But it is one of the arrows in the quiver.

We're running a grandfathered Google Workspace for the whole family. Parental tools don't exist in Workspace :'(

Adguard has a clumsy text-based block&unblock method, so it's tedious to do. And given that we all have several devices, I'd have to (un)block a lot. Which is why Pihole seems more useful at the moment.

If I keep UniFi DHCP then Pihole will not show individual clients, making it hard to put blocks on those individual clients.

In the past, the only solution I found was to let Pihole provide DHCP instead of UniFi.

Simple file copying is easy and smart.

What do you do about databases? I'm guessing you are running some containers that have a database, like paperless and many others.

No, but going forward you'll need another antenna on your server, and build with a new kind of devices.

I only just bought a zigbee USB antenna, and 4 smart plugs. You're saying I need a second USB antenna dongle for thread?

🤷 They probably think they have a good reason for it.

Well, backups aren't important at all,until you need them. Like insurance - you're screwed if you don't have any when trouble strikes.

How do you host Obsidian? Last time I checked, it only ran as a local install, so the "hosted" version was just a virtual machine running a local copy. Is it still that?

Correct. It refuses to run without https. That is by design.

Forgejo is a fork from gitea that is made for us. Forgejo is the new gitea.

There was some licensing or something, some kind of disagreement I don't recall. Forgejo is the one that is still free and open source.

And don't think that you can just back up using a file-copy process. These things have databases that also need to be backed up. It's not as simple as it first seems.

Source: been selfhosting for an embarrassingly long time without any backup!

In my experience, firefly is not aimed at household or personal finance. It is very obviously made by and for accountants.

Actual Budget is much more approachable for the normal home user, and very similar to the successful YNAB.

You're a good dad. Not just because you helped your son, but even more so because he already had the confidence of knowing he can ask you a question like that.

Keep on doing what you're doing. You're a good dad.

"Engineers" a.k.a. uneducated cubicle slaves

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts will.

If you're in Denmark and speak English to anyone, nobody bats an eye. You're welcome.

Interesting points, thank you.

Today I wanted to block everything with facebook and Instagram, it looks like I am hand-editing a config file to do so. And it applies to the entire network; AGH has no concept of user groups. Am I missing something really obvious?
