Interesting: [Wayback/Archive] vmstan/gravity-sync: 💫 The easy way to synchronize the DNS configuration of two Pi-hole 5.x instances.
Reasoning: [Wayback/Archive] Frequent Questions: Why two Pi-hole? · vmstan/gravity-sync Wiki
Via:
What is better than a Pi-hole blocking ads via DNS on your network? That’s right, Two Pi-hole! But if you have more than one Pi-hole (PH) in your network you’ll want a simple way to keep the list configurations identical between the two. I’ve recently been toiling away at a script to do exactly this, and what started as a few lines lines of bash was shared with some friends, and has grown into what I now call Gravity Sync — which I’d now like to share with you all for your feedback.

I’m speechless: [Wayback/Archive] https://archive.is/2026.01.24-201053/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/us/children-genetics-race-science.html
Via [Wayback/Archive] Kevin Bird on Skyview: An excellent, bone-chilling story about a cadre of online racists who stole genetic data from studies on children so they could make specious arguments for the innate inferiority of non-white people, it’s embrace by Elon Musk/twitter & how the Trump administration might make it easier to do again.
