internet-pi VS RPi-Jukebox-RFID

I use this to monitor my internet connection, it's originally designed for a raspberry pi but it will run on any Linux machine thanks to docker https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi

For example, you’re probably receiving bad service from your provider. Run fast.com and post the results (run the “show more info” option). You may also consider running ongoing monitoring to compare over time. I use this app on a Raspberry Pi: https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi

i am having issue with when i am using my rpi4 (where pihole is installed) as my DNS server, it shows only my ISP's DNS on the clients side when i checked it with websites like https://www.top10vpn.com/tools/what-is-my-dns-server/. Where in my pihole settings, i set it to be using DNS's google, in the query log i can see the status shows that is answered by google#53 . but when i change my client's DNS server directly to google DNS, it shows both my ISP's DNS and Google DNS on the DNS checker website. i followed the link here to install pihole https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi , which i believe is installing pihole and grafana inside a docker. Above also attached some screenshots from my pihole GUI.

hi there i forgot to tell u that i might be installing the pihole inside a docker, i followed the steps here https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi . when i use "dig" command on my client terminal it shows the DNS ip address "127.0.0.1" is this what might be affecting my DNS config?

I casually accumulated parts to build a Phoniebox over the last year but neglected to keep up with the project page to see that libspotify was shut down. I have a Pi Zero W and MiniAmp hat, speakers, RC522 board, pretty much everything except some nice arcade buttons, but I pivoted to an ESPHome-based project with an ESP8266 and RC522 getting pulled into Home Assistant as an entity. That's as far as I got with it, now I'm taking a step back. I'm open to anything as long as it lets my kid tap an NFC card and play music somewhere. Could be an internal hardwired speaker, could be Bluetooth, could be cast to a Google Home Mini. The important part is that there's a kid-friendly box with an RC522 and some simple control buttons. Everything after that, I'm flexible.

My GF didn’t want to get rid of her old CDs despite never listening to any of them. So I built her a Phonie Box and RFID tagged all of her CDs. She loved it and actually expanded her CD collection because of it. It feels a bit like magic just putting a CD, book or whatever you tagged on the box and it starts playing the album/audiobook/Spotify playlist

I have this idea of building a toy (wooden) vinyl player for my daughter. I love vinyl, so does she - but is still too young (3 years) to handle it properly, so I want this wooden vinyl player to take on wooden discs that I put an RFID chip in, and then the RaspberryPi inside the vinyl player recognizes that chip via an RFID-reader and gets some music playing. I worked out the latter part (Phoniebox ftw) but need advice on how to best get a child-proof mechanism in order to get the wooden discs spinning.

Maybe look into the Phoniebox project on Github? I built one a while ago using a raspberry pie and while I am not a programmer the software does for me exactly what you describe. I scan a tag and it then plays the spotify album

The 3d printed parts are my own design, the electronics and software are all from: https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID.
