  • https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/cannot-access-web-interface-after-pihole-6-update/77366/4

    The git fsck failing showed a corrupt repository so I researched how to repair a git repository and found the tool git-repair - installed and ran this with the --force flag and this repaired the repository.

    Then ran git pull and the repository was now healthy. My web UI also works now!!

    Probably a silly feature request but would it be worthwhile to add a git fsck to all the pihole stores in the debug script?

    To start you should go to your web admin folder at /var/www/html/admin and run a git fsck to make sure you’re having the same problem as the person above. If you get a lot of failures, its likely the same issue.

    So based on this resolved thread, it looks like you need to install git-repair and then once again go to your pihole web admin interface folder at /var/www/html/admin.

    Then once in that folder run git-repair --force and then when that completes run git pull. Hopefully that resolves this issue for you.







  • …until your family complains that their favorite site has stopped working.

    Pi-Hole these days allows you to create Groups so you can set certain devices to fewer or less restrictive blocklists or just leave their connection untouched entirely. Groups is basically how you solve the problem of it breaking something for someone else.

  • I’m not sure what I’m understanding that’s markedly different from what we have here in terms of feeds, nor am I sure letting users curate and create their own personal echo chambers is a real “solution.”

    If I understand it correctly, only some of the ways of viewing Lemmy content actually have an algorithm behind them (Hot view, for instance) whereas things like Top are… literally just the top posts/comments based on aggregated upvotes/downvotes. New just shows things chronologically from newest to oldest, Old is the opposite of that. Controversial is potentially an algorithm but I’m not deeply sure about that, because it seems like it could be calculated as simply as Top is.

    Manipulating things over here is more like making spam accounts and flooding with upvotes/downvotes, which is a problem but hopefully one that gets addressed as development continues.

    I also thought Mastodon was just a chronological feed as well. Not a lot to manipulate there?

    I’ll be real, I don’t get the hype for Bluesky when it’s venture capital funded (by Blockchain Capital no less) and eventually those VCs are going to want a return on investment. At some point, something will have to be done to produce a profit and won’t that be when the screws start being turned on the users?





  • A lot of regular Tesla owners genuinely didn’t know a ton about the company and until the last few years Musk wasn’t quite so openly a Nazi.

    I have zero sympathy for Cybertruck owners but I am going to wait to reserve judgement on average Tesla owners until I have proof it was bought recently and that they are okay with Musk as he is.

    The reality is some people can’t just up and trade in the car as easily as they might want to, even if they hate Musk and all he stands for now.
