Block ads & trackers on EVERY device with Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi 5 + Unbound (recursive DNS) — with a SAFE “test one device first” rollout, plus a clean rollback so you don’t accidentally take your Wi-Fi down. Pi-hole is a network-wide DNS ad blocker (works great for most ads/trackers), but it won’t reliably block YouTube ads (DNS can’t always separate ads vs video). ✅ What you’ll learn: - Raspberry Pi 5 Pi-hole setup (Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit) - Static IP the clean way (router DHCP reservation) - Add Unbound for private recursive DNS - Safely test Pi-hole on ONE device first - Roll out to the whole house using Pi-hole DHCP (when your router can’t set DNS) - Roll back safely if anything breaks

I’m putting together a real-world “network-wide adblock” setup using a Raspberry Pi 5. It will block a ton of ads + trackers across your whole Wi-Fi… but it won’t magically delete YouTube ads everywhere (I’m going to show exactly why). What I’m packaging up for you: - ✅ Step-by-step Pi 5 setup (safe + easy rollback if something breaks) - ✅ Best settings for Pi Hole “set it and forget it” - ✅ Troubleshooting + whitelist checklist (so your apps don’t freak out) Quick question: do you want this as a single full guide or a 3-part mini series (Setup → Fixes/whitelists → “What it can’t block” reality check)?

Step-by-step walkthrough for connecting the Camera Module 3 to your Raspberry Pi 5, getting autofocus working, and capturing photos, videos, and timelapses. What's covered: - Installing the correct 22-pin CSI cable (many kits ship the wrong 15-pin) - Proper cable latching and sensor detection - Live autofocus preview with rpicam-hello - Photo capture with macro autofocus modes - MP4 video recording with continuous AF - Headless SSH capture from your laptop - Timelapse recording + FFmpeg stitching Useful for: - 3D printer monitoring and OctoPrint timelapses - Wildlife feeders and outdoor cameras - Macro product photography - DIY teleprompter setups - Motion detection and smart alerts 🔗 Watch the video: Full parts list, timestamps, and all commands are in the video description. If you run into issues with cable compatibility or autofocus, this should help.

Just yesterday released a full walkthrough of the new Raspberry Pi 500 Plus — a premium keyboard computer with mechanical switches, RGB lighting, 16GB RAM, and built-in NVMe SSD. I’ll show you how to: ⚙️ Unbox and set it up step-by-step 💡 Customize RGB lighting and remap keys 🧠 Use Pi Connect for remote desktop access 🔌 Upgrade the SSD and try GPIO projects 🎮 Even unlock the hidden Flappy Bird game If you’ve ever wondered whether the Pi 500 Plus can replace your desktop and double as a maker workstation — this guide could cover it all. 💬 Let me know, would you use the Pi 500 Plus as your main computer?
