What it does
Finite is a plug-and-play NixOS configuration for Raspberry Pi bundling Pi-hole + Unbound into a tiny network fortress. Just flash, boot, and enjoy ad-blocking and DNS privacy—no manual setup required. Your DNS stays local. Normally, every website you visit triggers a DNS request that goes to a company’s server like Google’s or your ISP’s giving them a complete log of what you browse. With Finite, your Raspberry Pi handles those lookups locally. No external logging, no silent profiling. Whether you’re a small business or an individual who values privacy, you keep control of your own data. Ads and trackers are blocked at the source Pi-hole filters out ad and tracking domains before they even…from github.com

Pi-hole deployed at the edge on Fly.io and accessed via TailScale2022 · github.com · ▲58Hi, I just saw this tweet[^1] by @QuinnyPig that mentions accessing your Pi-hole while traveling thanks to TailScale and wondered how to deploy Pi-hole at the edge, instead of a home lab, for improved latency. My simple solution involves running it on Fly.io to make it easy to relocate anywhere, and embedding tailscale into the same firecracker VM (né docker container) to keep the infra dead simple and cheap. Naively deploying a publicly accessible DNS resolver is not ideal[^2] so the main constraint was to secure the VM by 1) keeping all public ports closed and 2) having Pi-hole listen only…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
