[1715.22 --> 1718.52] You know, PyHole is one of these things, for those of you who maybe are not familiar, PyHole
[1718.52 --> 1724.28] is it's like a nice DNS manager that can block ads, maybe block adult material.
[1724.28 --> 1726.10] It has a lot of advantages.
[1726.10 --> 1730.68] It's also a DHCP server, so it can hand out addressing and then give your systems on your
[1730.68 --> 1731.52] network names.
[1731.64 --> 1734.06] And it gives you a beautiful dashboard to see everything on there.
[1734.14 --> 1735.82] It just, you know, checks all my boxes.
[1736.18 --> 1739.88] And you can run it as a Docker container, which is what I'm doing on a Raspberry Pi.
[1739.88 --> 1744.78] And I have version four on there forever, since I talked about it on the show.
[1744.84 --> 1745.58] And it's just been running.
[1745.78 --> 1746.76] You know, I don't even mess with it.
[1747.48 --> 1750.06] But I thought, you know what I want to do on this road trip?
[1750.12 --> 1754.82] Because I'm an old man and I go to bed, as Brent could attest, really early.
[1755.62 --> 1755.98] Quite.
[1756.26 --> 1756.54] Yeah.
[1756.88 --> 1758.12] I've had to change my schedule.
[1758.22 --> 1759.40] When do you normally go to bed?
[1759.58 --> 1764.26] Well, if left to my own devices, I drift deep into the night.
[1764.28 --> 1764.46] Yeah.
[1765.02 --> 1767.38] But that doesn't serve most people around me.
[1767.38 --> 1769.88] Yeah, we're doing like, what, 9, 10 p.m. at the latest?
[1770.26 --> 1774.54] And so I don't want the kids up much later than that, browsing the internet.
[1774.54 --> 1778.54] Because they can just, you know, get their devices after dad nods off and start browsing
[1778.54 --> 1779.00] the web.
[1779.10 --> 1782.26] And so we're watching YouTube more likely, let's be honest.
[1782.66 --> 1784.82] And so I wanted to be able to pause their devices.
[1784.82 --> 1786.94] And I had read that you could do that in PyHole.
[1787.06 --> 1791.04] But I logged into my PyHole setup, and I had just done a Docker poll.
[1791.32 --> 1793.82] You know, so it should be totally up to date.
[1794.18 --> 1796.78] And I log in, and it's several versions behind.
[1796.78 --> 1802.30] And I'm looking at my Docker compose file, and I see it's using the latest tag, you know,
[1802.34 --> 1803.04] for the latest image.
[1803.12 --> 1805.18] And I think, okay, well, why aren't I getting that?
[1805.20 --> 1808.08] I'm starting to think maybe there's some compatibility problem.
[1808.48 --> 1812.24] So I start looking into it, and it turns out, no, I'm using the wrong tag.
[1812.58 --> 1816.92] I was supposed to be using PyHole master, ARM64 buster, because I'm on a buster-based
[1816.92 --> 1817.18] Debian.
[1818.12 --> 1819.90] And so I set the right tag in there.
[1819.94 --> 1820.86] I get the right image.
[1820.96 --> 1822.42] I pull down version 5.
[1822.46 --> 1824.08] It's like version 5.3 or whatever.
[1824.24 --> 1824.92] Working great.
[1824.92 --> 1826.30] The upgrade goes super smooth.
[1826.68 --> 1829.14] You know, congrats to the PyHole team for making that easy.
[1829.92 --> 1833.12] And yet I can't pause the devices like I read, like I should be able to.
[1833.84 --> 1835.96] I grouped up the kids' devices by MAC addresses.
[1836.16 --> 1837.02] I go into their group.
[1837.10 --> 1837.82] I say disable.
[1838.42 --> 1840.98] And I think what I'm just doing is disabling the PyHole filtering.
[1841.08 --> 1842.72] I don't think I'm disabling their internet access.
[1843.18 --> 1846.78] So I went through this whole rigmarole, getting this whole system updated, so that way we'd
[1846.78 --> 1848.74] have the latest PyHole while we're going down the road.
[1848.74 --> 1852.98] Because my theory is, let's block the ads at the network level, so that way I'm not wasting
[1852.98 --> 1854.56] network bandwidth, you know?
[1854.62 --> 1855.76] Because we have limited network bandwidth.
[1855.86 --> 1856.70] Anything I can do.
[1857.26 --> 1860.92] So PyHole, it's working great, but it's not giving me the results I wanted.
[1861.22 --> 1864.90] I wanted to be able to pause the kids' internet when I go to bed, and I cannot do it.
[1864.94 --> 1870.22] If anybody out there knows a way to do this with PyHole, or a relatively straightforward
[1870.22 --> 1874.76] way to just accomplish this that doesn't require a specific router software or whatever,
[1874.76 --> 1875.70] I'd love to know.
[1876.20 --> 1877.66] Selfhost.show.contact.
[1878.04 --> 1885.32] But the upshot is, upgrading from PyHole 4 to PyHole 5.3.whatever, super smooth, totally
[1885.32 --> 1885.72] flawless.
[1886.26 --> 1887.56] Once I got the right tag in there.
[1888.22 --> 1889.18] I have a question.
[1889.28 --> 1894.44] Would you be able to tie that into your Home Assistant goodnight kids recipe?
[1894.88 --> 1895.70] Oh, I could imagine.
[1895.92 --> 1899.38] I do pull in Home Assistant, there is a PyHole integration.
[1899.38 --> 1907.82] And so I do pull into Home Assistant the amount of active network clients and some DNS stats
[1907.82 --> 1908.70] for the day.
[1908.98 --> 1913.08] And I graph them in Home Assistant on the dashboard, just for my own fun.
[1913.94 --> 1918.32] And I don't know, but I bet you there is a way you could totally do that, is when I run
[1918.32 --> 1921.70] that script, it also would pause their devices.
[1922.50 --> 1922.60] Right.
[1922.76 --> 1923.60] Have a look in your Telegram.
[1923.70 --> 1924.62] I've just sent you a picture.
[1924.62 --> 1924.74] Yeah.
[1925.12 --> 1927.36] This is of the AdGuard Home interface.
[1927.86 --> 1932.10] And just look at all the different services that you can toggle on and toggle off.
[1932.28 --> 1936.86] And then also look at the top of this page where it says, select the tags that correspond
[1936.86 --> 1938.08] to a specific client.
[1938.44 --> 1940.92] You know, the tag being child or whatever it is.
[1941.38 --> 1942.56] Doesn't this do what you need?
[1943.38 --> 1943.78] Ah.
[1944.32 --> 1944.74] Yeah.
[1944.82 --> 1949.94] You know, the only thing that's funny thing about it is it felt like this, this approach
[1949.94 --> 1952.92] with AdGuard, because I actually gave AdGuard about a 20 minute try.
[1952.92 --> 1956.72] It didn't have like, just turn off everything.
[1957.50 --> 1963.64] You can go in and block individual services like eBay, Hulu, Discord, Amazon, Instagram,
[1963.94 --> 1969.66] Facebook, Telegram, Twitch, YouTube, all which actually would basically do the job, to be
[1969.66 --> 1970.16] honest with you.
[1970.18 --> 1972.90] If I just turned off YouTube, that did 90% of it.
[1973.58 --> 1975.86] But I just want turn off internet access.
[1976.32 --> 1977.90] Like, just don't route them.
[1978.56 --> 1980.60] Could you send them to a dud DNS server?
[1981.04 --> 1982.60] I was wondering about that.
[1982.60 --> 1988.46] You know, it would have to be a pretty short DHCP lease that somehow switched around bedtime
[1988.46 --> 1989.74] or something like that.
[1990.34 --> 1990.86] I don't know.
