00:00:00 <electrohead> sadly, it's *really* cold
00:00:00 <electrohead> so I'm staying inside for the whole weekend, guh
00:00:00 <Bonny> it's been cold in melbourne the last 2 days
00:00:00 <Bonny> and it's suppose to be summer
00:09:00 * eddie_ is now known as TinTin
02:12:00 <Bonny> lol
02:14:00 <electrohead> :p
02:14:00 <electrohead> what time is it there for you?
02:16:00 <Bonny> 2:16am
02:23:00 <electrohead> damn
02:23:00 <electrohead> you wide awake?
02:28:00 <Bonny> sleepyy lol
02:29:00 <electrohead> I see you are busy doing stuff with austnet and such :p
02:30:00 <Bonny> yeah sorting twisted out
02:36:00 <electrohead> oh nice
02:36:00 <Bonny> her channel was under another nick which expired
02:42:00 <electrohead> Ahh, ok
02:42:00 <electrohead> All sorted now?
02:42:00 <Bonny> yup
02:58:00 <electrohead> yays :p
03:16:00 <Bonny> night night *hugz*
03:35:00 <electrohead> night :)
07:29:00 <omethe> morning all
07:42:00 <electrohead> yo o/
07:46:00 <omethe> hey hows it going
08:00:00 <electrohead> good here, drinking beer and working on my media collection, you?
08:07:00 <omethe> ah not much, i've got to work on my ebook collection at some stage, sorting out metadata and covers etc
08:07:00 <omethe> it's a pita but has to be done
08:10:00 <electrohead> I feel that
08:10:00 <electrohead> I have a few terabytes worth of videos, heh
08:10:00 <electrohead> music is another story lol
08:13:00 <omethe> I use plex for my videos, works reasonably well
08:15:00 <omethe> actually plex does well for audiobooks too
08:48:00 <electrohead> I just use sshfs to mount my local server shares/mount points
08:48:00 <electrohead> done.
08:58:00 <omethe> i've got an unraid server and run plex in a docker container, works well
09:03:00 <electrohead> Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5675 @ 3.07GHz
09:03:00 <electrohead> that's the CPU in my primary server
09:03:00 <electrohead> err, there are two of those, in that server
09:10:00 <omethe> nice
09:10:00 <omethe> i've got a couple of sff desktops coming, planning on running pihole, dhcp and a few other things on them
09:11:00 <electrohead> just build yourself a pfsense or opnsense router/firewall/gateway, done.
09:11:00 <electrohead> I run a pfsense box for my whole network, works a treat
09:11:00 <electrohead> no need for pihole, when you can do it at the gateway/router level
09:12:00 <omethe> yeah i've got a pfsense firewall, I didn't like the pfblocker.. it just didn't seem to work so well
09:12:00 <electrohead> plus with pihole, sure latency may be minimal, it's still an extra hop on your network
09:12:00 <electrohead> did you configure everything correctly? what all lists are you using?
09:13:00 <electrohead> what don't you like about it?
09:14:00 <omethe> i just found it caused problems with various websites, i don't know why. im using the same lists on pihole and there hasn't been a problem. maybe I should try it again and see how i go
09:16:00 <electrohead> what kind of problems, though?
09:16:00 <omethe> i know dad's ipad had troubles, i think that's what made me remove it
09:18:00 <omethe> websites not loading, general lack of functionality. it was a while ago so i can't remember everything but it was enough to make me remove it. i might set it up again today with the same lists im running on pihole now and see how i get on
09:18:00 <omethe> maybe i had too many lists or to aggressive lists on it
09:22:00 <omethe> i'll fire it up today again and see how i get on
10:13:00 <omethe> ok it's back up ad running with the same lists in my pihole so i'll see how it goes
10:17:00 <electrohead> oh cool
10:17:00 <electrohead> yeah I'm curious what issues you run into
10:18:00 <Blockah> Bonny, How dare you! Greeting others without greeting me!
10:25:00 <omethe> maybe i went too hard, the lists i have on pihole didn't cause any problems so hopefully they will work fine now. i've got to see what the ipv4 block lists are active though
10:25:00 <omethe> the only thing i miss are fancy reports that pihole does that i can't see with pfblocker
10:27:00 <electrohead> I know for a fact you can generate whatever you need to, either on the pfsense box itself, or just offload your data to generate whatever you need to
10:29:00 <omethe> okay more reading then :)
10:34:00 <electrohead> :D
11:13:00 <gremlinz> pihole is the bomb
12:00:00 <omethe> forgot to change dns forwarder to resolver, works now
12:26:00 <omethe> gah studpid ununtu comes with a local resolver :/
12:29:00 <omethe> cat 200a cable: https://www.overclockers.com.au/pic.php?pic=images/newspics/03feb23/20.jpg

13:08:00 <Demob> not much
13:08:00 <Demob> waiting for my amazon order :)
13:11:00 <omethe> i never used amazon, for some reason i preferred to buy from other online stores but i tried amazon once, got hooked, signed up to prime and now i have too many amazon cardboard boxes to throw away in my recycle bin
13:18:00 <Demob> if you never used amazon how do u have amazon boxes
13:26:00 <omethe> read the whole things :P
13:27:00 <omethe> i tried it once, got hooked, signed up to prime, now i'm an amazon junkie
14:34:00 <omethe> hmm this is annoying me, i've whitelisted a domain but it's still blocked :/
14:44:00 <omethe> ah unticking enable tld fixed it
15:22:00 <omethe> also pfblocker-ng-devel has reporting in it
15:49:00 <omethe> hmm what to do with the spare pc's... perhaps a failover pfsense setup?
