PiHole

More Info:

The Pihole is a device built on a single board computer (sbc). The device acts as an ad-blocker for your network. There are also blacklists that can be applied or you can build your own.

I good deal for people build these with a raspberry pi, but I found 2 orange pi zeroes for cheap and decided to build on out of this.

Found a video that shows you how to put wireguard vpn and unbound dns on the orange pi along with pihole. Thos is the one I plan on following.

Music to Work to

Posted on by Steph

Changing gears for a few posts.

There are many scholarly articles written regarding music and productivity. I know when I’m working noise helps me kind of focus and when I’m at work music helps to drown out other things. I actually spend a good deal of time listening to lessons or infographic shows, or historical bits because I’m kind of a nerd, but music aids my productivity. One of the best sounds I’ve found to listen to while working is Lofi Japanese HipHop or TripHop. I like sounds with heavy bass, but not having to think about words helps to just let the music be background.

In this occasional post series I’ll be sharing some of the music that aids in making me a more productive worker and/or helps me to study.

I really got into this type of sound while I was working overseas when I would listen to Arabic HipHop mixes. From there I branched out to this and as I stated above the lack of words makes me zoom into the sound and bop along as I type away.
