π° Some of my smart devices were sneaking around my Pi-hole, and blocking them was easier than I thought
When I implemented Pi-hole on my home network, I thought of it as a set-and-forget thing, as most of the community discussion suggested. I installed Pi-hole on my home Debian server, added a couple of reputable blocklists, and set it as a default DNS on my dual-WAN gateway. And for a while, it really did seem like the job was done. Ads disappeared, obvious trackers filtered out, and the dashboard showed me thousands of blocked queries.

If you've ever poked around your computer or laptop's power plans, you'll know that your hardware can be fine-tuned to use as much or as little power as you'd like. Normally, you can choose between an emphasis on power and a focus on conserving energy. However, Intel has introduced a third option called the Low Power Efficient cores that saves battery on background tasks and idle states.
