unified-targets VS Pi-hole

Hi i found it on this website, and compared it to my original settings that come out of the box from betaflight configurator and they match. I even tried to pull those settings from file.. didn't help.

Hey fam!! So I'm working on a new quad and have the HGLRC F722 FC with this stack Here. After plugging into Betaflight for the first time I wanted to be sure I had the latest firmware so went ahead to update to the latest stable version (HGLRCF722 4.2.11). It appeared everything updated properly and was reported successful, then clicked the load default custom settings option that popped up after the board auto-reconnected. After rebooting and re-connecting It seems I have lost the gyro and accel. I've tried several times with different firmware versions and after doing some homework found it's likely when clicking the (load custom configurations) option after the firmware updates, the configurations aren't actually loading or saving. I've tried looking for the *.config file for this board and could only find it for version 4.1.3 here but thought maybe it'd still work. I went ahead and tried manually loading the config settings and still nothing. Am I doing it wrong? So I just copy and paste it to the CLI right? Do I have to save the settings with another command or something? Do I have to disconnect before clicking other tabs after pasting? The config options don't seem to actually do anything. When the option to install custom config settings pops up and I select that option, the diff output is the same as when I select cancel installing those options. So it seems the config settings aren't actually being "saved" to the board. Same deal when I try to copy and paste the config settings manually. The diff output doesn't change regardless what I try.

Actually, your board *seems* to be using unified-targets (a different board/target combo I think), basically this one: https://github.com/betaflight/unified-targets/blob/master/configs/default/HGLR-HGLRCF722.config

It’s a unified target https://github.com/betaflight/unified-targets/blob/master/configs/default/BEFH-BETAFPVF405.config

Si te preguntas, ¿por qué no usar Adguard o Pihole? 🤔

This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.

Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).

A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives

I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.

It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.

Adguard [1] is a decent free option.

I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

Setup a pi-hole.

It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
