  • No lol It’s so low maintenance that it took me about a month to figure out why it kept crashing. The answer was completely my fault as I forgot I gave the container running it only about 8gb of disk space and it filled up.

    I only log into the console to check some metrics/verify no issues/run updates and I maybe do that once every 3 months. I don’t have my pi-hole set up the same way as the basic tutorial but as far as lists go I just subscribed and forgot.

    Worth noting my pihole is really only good for banner ads or ads that rely on DNS. YouTube ads require a clientside adblocker so far.



  • I’ve noticed that people are very quick to downvote here for seemingly no reason. It’s best to ignore it.

    Coil whine is something modern electronics tend to (suffer might be the right word?) From and unfortunately there isn’t much you can personally do. The coil whine itself is caused by the power delivery circuit.

    This is general information not specific to the FW laptop. If you’d like to learn more id look into GPU coil whine as that’s usually where it is discussed the most.







  • I use 11 for work, and so I tried it at home to really dive into the issues I might have. I generally prefer Linux but have always kept my daily drivers Windows…well until last Friday. I had the explorer shell crash on me causing data loss and really was the last straw. Wiped everything and went to Linux, I’m tired of the games Microsoft. I tolerated your bullshit for YEARS because the core of the OS usually “just worked”…except in recent years that’s not true and I don’t feel like my computer is “my computer” when windows 10+ is on it.
