There’s this howto that explains how to set up the RPi as ad blocker.

I’ve two RPi’s acting a router and was already running dnsmasq. I decided to give it a try. Note that this howto can actually be used on any DNS serving Linux server.

First of all, don’t go with the pixelserv as it crashes after a few minutes.

Apache is an option that worked fine. A general hint: if you’re already running Apache or whatever on port 80, just add a 2nd static IP and make Apache listen to that.

Made from my previous recording.

To continue my story, I replaced the battery with a new, and what appears to be a genuine LG battery (if not, then those Chinese are getting good at it).

It worked and booted, but the battery got drained in ~8 hours (100% to 0%). And it felt a tiny bit warm on the cover, just above the battery (battery area was normal). Especially in my pocket it would get quite warm.

And me, glitched.

I call it art.
