  • How to run similar linux command simultaneously in multiple QTerminal tab/shell ?

    I know this can be done easily in terminator. But terminator installation is not an option in this case. I'm on different system where the only terminal available is QTerminal.
  • Pi-hole image for most rooted Android devices.
    3 projects | /r/pihole | 24 Sep 2021
    Following up on the weird gear running Pi-hole posts; I refined things a bit further and have created a universal 'Pi-hole for Android' disk image. It should run on ANY ARMv7 or newer Android box ever made, from Kernel 3.0 (2010-ish) to current. When the image is launched, It performs gateway detection and other checks to populate setupVars.conf. Also used for unattended installation as setup dies in interactive mode. You gain access via web admin, SSH, or qterminal via xRDP. RDC Client in the App/Play Store, Windows MSTSC.EXE, or Remmina/xfreerdp all work well. Ugly hacks are in the "init" system at /etc/rc.local for your pleasure/disgust. 'sysprep' cleans-up the image and triggers key regeneration for SSH and xRDP at next boot. Ubuntu was my 1st attempt for the base image, but Centos 7 is the only current distro that can live with kernel 3.0 and has recent libraries backported to let Pi-hole work.
