A link to the Blocklist that can be used to greatly reduce the number of ads shown when browsing en increase privacy via pihole
U will see a big increase in the Domains on Blocklist:
Post in Nederlands i.v.m. issue Experiabox.
Na installatie van PiHole en het aanpassen van de DNS server in de Experiabox V10 (ZTE H369A) bleek dat er alsnog advertenties doorgelaten worden.
Na onderzoek bleek dat de IPv6 routeringen het e.e.a. alsnog doorlaten. Er blijkt helaas in de DNS geen IPV6 DNS in te stellen. Dat laat een aantal mogelijkheden.
Voor nu heb ik voor het laatste gekozen.
When the admin page of pihole does not start. One of the reasons can be that due to the use of tmpfs the log directory has not been created the solution to this is:
The issue Should be fixed in 1.4.53.2.
In order to lower the number of writes to the SD-card, it is wise to move the log life to a tmpfs mount in RAM.
i found this site that explains how to do it: https://domoticproject.com/extending-life-raspberry-pi-sd-card/
As a result of this , the MQTT service running on my Domoticz Pi, raised an error. Error: MQTT: Failed to start, return code: 14 (Check IP/Port)
Apperantly the dir /var/log/mosquitto can not be created on RAM .
A suggested solution that I need to test is in: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34820
When I was trying to scrape a Javascript heavy website with my Raspberry using Python, I ran into some interesting issues that needed to be solved.
I found that modules like request,request_html, urlllib did not deliver the complete content with Javascripts websites containing shadow-dom (#shadowroot). When searching for solution i found some, like the use of PhantomJS or other discontinued modules.
The solution I found was using Chromedriver in headless mode. But the version I got my hands on kept throwing errors on the version of the browser.
After extensive searches I found the solution in:

(get the arvmv7 version)

In your code add these two arguments, when you start the driver:
-headless
-disable-gpu
When trying to execute the script I still got the error on Chromium version.I was able to solve that using:
IT WORKS
now the script finally worked
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
# Define the site to be opened
site = “http://….”
# Set Chrome Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument(“–headless”)
# Open Chrome Headless
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.set_page_load_timeout(20)
driver.get(site)
With the content of the page in driver it is possible to further decompose the page.
content1= driver.find_element_by_tag_name(‘…..’)
shadow_content1 = expand_shadow_element(content1)
To get access to the shadow element the function below needs to be used:
# function to expand a shadow element to useable content
def expand_shadow_element(element):
shadow_root = driver.execute_script(‘return arguments[0].shadowRoot’, element)
return shadow_root
