  • To be honest, considering the role they’re applying for, I would reject their job application too even if it occurred inside a sandboxed environment.

    They should know exactly what rm -rf does. The fact they didn’t and they still arbitrary ran the command anyway… massive red flags. Could even say he failed to twart a social engineering attack.








  • Sounds like the DNS TTL (Time to Live) is set extremely low, preventing clients caching the record. Each time your browser makes a request (such as updating the graphs), it’s submitting a new DNS query each time.

    According to this post, this is intentional behaviour for PiHole to support situations where you change a domain from the block to allowed. The same post also references the necessary file modifications, should you wish to extend the TTL regardless.

    The only downside you’ll notice is a delay after whitlisting a domain, and it actually being unblocked. You’ll need to wait for the TTL to expire. Setting it to something like 15 minutes would be a reasonable compromise.
