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.

Especially if you've set up key verification for SSH, you don't even have to mess with a password.

Then it's literally just pihole -up

God regular people are so fucking weird haha. I just can't wrap my mind around wanting to click on ads.

Sometimes I wonder if working in local television news for 10 years and being subjected to ads basically constantly broke something in me.

I'll definitely give those a spin when I've done a fresh install of pihole 6. I've been hesitant to do so because I don't know how to do a fresh install easily when I've already used unbound to make my pi-hole a recursive DNS server and one of my pi-holes also doubles as an immich server so I have to do a lot of backing up I as of yet have been too lazy to do.

I still don't see a difference between choosing who to follow (Mastodon)/choosing what communities to follow (Lemmy)/blocking people-communities-intances you don't like and "creating your own feed." To me, all of those things are creating your own feed.

...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.

Sorry just bad at words. And history apparently.

I mean, you're just a humble boatsman anyway. No big deal.

Australia will lose another war with emus as New Zealand wisely allies with the Emus.

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?

Just to be clear, I mean it's literally managed at the Group Policy level (in Windows server environments at least) and no amount of asking will suddenly give your user account permissions to be able to save files of any kind.

You generally literally cannot download it without going through IT to get them to approve of and give your account access first.

At large organizations you're generally not allowed to download much of anything without it passing through IT security and management first. If it's a no, it will probably stay a no.

 

We are getting reports of YouTube rolling out an experiment to some accounts where normal videos only have DRM formats available on the tv (TVHTML5) Innertube client.

This is not limited to yt-dlp. Tests have been run with the same account on various official YouTube TV clients (PS3, web browser, apple tv) and they are also only getting DRM formats for videos.

We live in hell-world.
