The Pihole
Well, I recently changed careers, and after more than 10 years doing Android development, I find myself working on a web-based application. I'm currently working for Zellerfeld, and I'm not going to lie, the onboarding was daunting, to say the least. I still don't feel like I know enough to actually do the work that I was hired to do, but here I am. In order to learn some of the technology that I use on my professional day today, I decided to put together a little pi-hole. There are thousands of tutorials online, so I won't bother you by explaining how I did it, though I will link a few of the links I use in order to set it up at the end of the post.
I'm pretty proud of being able to put together this little device. I have played around with Raspberry Pies before. As a matter of fact, I created a little Raspberry Pi project before I joined Zellerfeld in order to familiarize myself with the tech stack. I am very proud of this little project. It was very easy to put together.
Pi-hole is a network-wide ad blocker and DNS sinkhole that protects every device on your home network without needing any special software installed on individual phones or computers.
