Are you able to control phone functions with assist? I don't use it mainly because I set voice timers a lot and wasn't able to find a way to do it with assist.

I think you might be confusing intelligence with memory. Memory is compressed knowledge, intelligence is the ability to decompress and interpret that knowledge.

When "this lemon is too sour" is the problem, maybe "here, try this orange" is the solution. Can you imagine responding like "No! People are always talking about oranges! I'm sick of it and won't try one!" Ridiculous...

I toyed with this idea, but the directory structures are completely different, and they both keep their own databases. If one updates images, the other database will be out of sync. IMHO, it's best to keep them separate

Arc Browser is better for USERS. Ad companies are just going to have to figure it out. Sounds like a "them" problem to me

They're probably geo-locking it, too, so it will really be just English in just the US

Devices getting router IP as DNS (lemm.ee)

Hello all! I think I'm having a bit of trouble with my home network. It appears that all of my devices are using my Pi-hole DNS because I can see them all listed in the UI. But, when I check the devices, I can see both the Pi-hole IP address and the router's. Pi-hole is listed first, so I'm assuming everything is using that, but I don't want the devices on my network to even know about the router DNS. I've heard of aggressive devices like Roku exploiting things like this.

I have an ASUS RT-AX55 so I believe I have full control of any setting I need. Any advice? Is this not even a problem?

EDIT: The latest firmware for the RT-AX55 is 3.0.0.4.386_52041 and, according to this (https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1050080/) I need 3.0.0.4.388.22525 to get the setting I need. @[email protected]'s screenshot shows the settings I need but I only have one DNS field. My suspicion was correct that the router was sending itself as DNS2. It's an imperfect solution, but I changed my upstream DNS on my router to point to the Pi-hole for now. It's a bit frustrating to not see the actual device the traffic is coming from instead of "router" but at least ALL of my traffic is now being routed through the correct DNS server.

At this point, it looks like I cross my fingers and try using Pi-hole DHCP again or get a new router.

Thanks for the help y'all!

File Browser vs Nextcloud (lemm.ee)

Hey all! I'm still in the somewhat early stages of setting up my home server. I have Nextcloud installed for file storage/management. However, realizing that it would be nice to have access to the entire storage drive for the server, I installed File Browser.

Now I'm having a hard time justifying having both. I have a handful of services that could be run as individual services (calDav, notes, news, etc... although, phonetrack seems to be hard to replace).

I've noticed lists that people have posted of the "must-have" services on their home servers have included both. My question is "why?" It seems like, at a basic level, they serve similar roles. If you remove the app-platform role from Nextcloud by separately hosting the individual apps, what benefit do you get from having both Nextcloud and File Browser?

I really like NextCloud, but i'm having a hard time justifying the resource usage if its functionality can be replaced by a handful of containers. Or, is that the reason to have it, so you don't have to do that?

Any opinions on the subject would be appreciated.
