Reasons why I run a network-wide adblocker…
In the last 24 hours… For anyone else looking to run a network-wide adblocker, I recommend Pi-Hole. I have also recently started testing out AdGuard Home & will see in the long run if I decide to switch, or just leave it as a backup. I run Pi-Hole as my primary DNS & DHCP server […]
Goodbye Google Fi & Android
I find it pretty ironic that Google Fi is the reason I’m leaving Android as well. Whether it’s because of an actual Fi issue or juts a tower issue in my area, that caused me to finally switch off of Fi (something I’ve been meaning to do anyway), & I decided to switch to an […]
Super Mario 64 Natively on Android
Found a post on XDA about building Super Mario 64 for Android using Termux, & figured I’d try it out for fun.Source: XDA Developers: Super Mario 64 can be natively run on Android without a Nintendo 64 emulator Their instructions worked fine, so below is really just a copy & paste from the XDA post:
OnePlus 7 Pro: Update System Firmware on Custom ROM
Follow up to the OnePlus 7 Pro: LineageOS+MicroG post, where I mentioned I would have to update the Bluetooth & Modem firmware on my device. This fortunately went as smoothly as the LineageOS+MicroG install, so I’m very happy about that. The first step was downloading the latest OxygenOS ZIP through this post: XDA Developers: [ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP7P] […]
OnePlus 7 Pro: LineageOS+MicroG
After a full weekend of originally getting CrDroid on my new OnePlus 7 Pro a few months back, I decided to switch to LineageOS+MicroG because I was never able to get location working on CrDroid. This was mostly due to the changes in Android 10, but when I was still unable to get it working […]
Custom ROM on Mi MIX 3
I recently picked up a Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 & was able to unlock the bootloader after the 72 hour waiting period. That wasn’t a problem, however getting TWRP up & running was where I had a problem. For some reason, whenever I would flash TWRP, but device was stuck in a fastboot loop — […]
Show Actual Clients in Pi-Hole Console
Finally took care of something I’ve been meaning to do for a while… I now have my Pi-Hole showing the real client source IP’s instead of the router & localhost. I have this post to thank: Pi-Hole Discourse: [SOLVED] Canโt see device list on Pi-Hole Admin.
Protecting Linux Login with 2FA
This is definitely not the first time I’ve tried getting this working, but glad I was finally able to. Looks like if I had read a bit more, I never would have run into issues… By the second or third time I ran into problems, I at least figured out why: with my home directory […]
FINALLY Got my OpenVPN Server Setup on My DD-WRT Router
This took way longer than I would have liked, but at least it seems to be working right now. After moving recently, I needed to purchase a new router, leaving my rooted Google WiFi AP’s behind. I decided to replace it with a D-LINK AC2600 EXO MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router. After some more router related fun, […]
