I've a single Pihole instance running on a RPi 4 and have experienced not a single instance of any of the 3 probs you mention. Except, of course, the very few minutes it takes for a reboot which I can schedule and am aware when it's happening...
Yeah, I believe it can vary depending on how you host it.
In my experience whenever I brought down the PiHole instance (Docker Compose) I would lose all internet access, which is expected since I’m essentially taking away my devices one and only library, so to mitigate this I spun up PiHole on another device and set that as my secondary (backup) DNS resolver.
This way I can take a container down, update it and all without losing resolution to the internet.
I don’t know how developed your school system is but, I would advise the principal into blocking the sites via DNS that way the computers won’t resolve them.
AdGuard, PiHole, OpenSense are free open source DNS resolvers however, chances are your school already manages its own DNS so I would obviously consult with them first.
I appreciate your candour to the situation, I respectfully disagree with your other comment and believe the privilege is being slowly taken away from us, so yes I think we’re being targeted, at this point it’s too late to argue and all I can do is hope they rethink the buyback program.
So glad I bought a 22lr Kriss Vector for them to ban it days later, now I can go and have it disabled so I don’t have to sell it.
don't want school shootings as a trade off to a hypothetical American invasion
So hypothetical school shootings are better eh? Keep in mind I’m not pushing for the Canadian version of the 4th amendment, as you see in another one of my comments I encourage proper safety training beforehand.
And how, pray tell, is a "real" firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world,
Their tech is pretty advanced I’ll give you that, but i sure as hell know if people had more access to firearms we could actually have a chance to defend ourselves from such a threat.
Our military is a joke technology & armoury wise, simple and plain, the more people who stand to defend the better.
We don't need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence
This is where we differ, I fully believe South Korea has the right idea to train all their children in CQB and to safely handle firearms given how close North Korea is.
The same should apply to Canadians, we have a potential threat down south and a small handful of people actually know what they’re doing.
we need a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence.
I 100% agree however, I don’t think we’ll ever see this in our lifetime with another Liberal leader.
Thinking you'll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range
A couple hours at the range is better than no hours at the range.
Your thin-skin is pretty standard for Conservatives.
Conservatives?? Your liberal government removed minimum sentencing for reoffending criminals and then complained about the increase in crime.
But yes, let’s target licensed hunters and sports shooters because it’s clearly their fault. Obviously PAL holders receiving daily background checks was not enough.
professional tip for those who decided to rock Debian on a laptop with two GPU’s.
Envycontrol will take the headache away from manually configuring your xorg & xrandr, trust me, compared to the Debian documentation this will save you hours of your life.
