MY INSPIRATION
A glimpse into my internal world
I'll update as often as possible but bellow are just some of the projects I have taken on recently. I do get a bit of scatter-brained as all my projects just follow my interest but this is what i've been playing with recently. As well as a link to my Github.
Most Recent Project
Rassbery Pi Hole
I was so kindely given a Rasberry Pi 3 by a friend and have decided to make it into a Pi-Hole that lets me block all ads and malware on my entire network. If i understand it correctly its done through blocking certain Domains using a special DNS server then having my Rassbery pi act as my DHCP server for the devices on my network.
