If you are looking for non-free media codec, try https://debian.pkgs.org/12/multimedia-main-amd64/ I managed to obtain a copy of Monday Audio Codec from there.
sudo dpkg -i libmac10_10.16-dmo1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i monkeys-audio_10.16-dmo1_amd64.deb
If you have a computer with a BCM43142 wifi card like my Lenovo S20, you can it working by using the broadcom-sta-dkms (https://packages.debian.org/buster/broadcom-sta-dkms) package from Debian's non-free repository.

On Ubuntu, you can easily set up dotnet using snap. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-snap).
sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic
sudo snap alias dotnet-sdk.dotnet dotnet
However, when you open a newly created project with vscode, you may get the error of complaining the SDK not being found.
It looks like this is due to the dotnet executable not being found at a location vscode is expected. To overcome this, you simple create a symbolic link of the dotnet executable at /usr/local/bin (ref: https://github.com/dotnet/vscode-csharp/issues/3077)
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -sv /snap/dotnet-sdk/current/dotnet .
There are already many tutorials available on the Internet for preparing a Ventoy USB stick, so how is it different this time? Rather than answer this question, let me tell you the story behind this post.
A friend of mine called me one day and asked me to help him to reinstall Windows. This should be easy if you have another Window machine available. Unfortunately, the another machine he has is a Mac. As you may already know, it is not simple to prepare a USB Window boot disk on a Mac, especially if you need to do it remotely (in this case, my friend is actually in another country) and the person you are helpful is not computer literate at all.
To cut a long story short, at the end I created a basic Ventoy installed USB drive, converted it into an image file, zipped it , sent the compressed image over the Internet to his Mac, and finally wrote it to a physical USB drive using Etcher.
Although this process works, it is some how convoluted and difficult to execute. For instance, an image extracted from a 16GB drive may not fit another 16GB drive from another brand. In fact, this was the problem I had.
Anyway, since then I have found a quicker way to get the image, and hence having this blog to share it with you.
Here are the steps I took for creating a basic Ventoy disk image.
1) Download a copy of the Ventoy Live CD ISO from Ventoy site (https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html)
2) Prepare a basic virtual machine on Virtual Box. The setting I was using are:
VBoxManage clonemedium --format RAW ventoy_1.vdi ventoy.img
If you are looking for blocklists to use on your Pi-Hole set, you may want to try lists suggested on the OPNSense site:

Personally I uses the lists below for my own setup:-
I can't remember when this started. My Dell C1765NF printer started to print gray instead of black. I had tried different suggested solutions found on the Internet and most of them didn't working. The solution finally works for me involves changing the "type" of the driver and changing a setting in the printing preference as following.
To get my printer back to normal, I change the "type" of the printer driver from type 4 to type 3. I may be wrong, but the type 3 seems to use the old application model instead of the new App (Store) model. Once you have reverted back to the old interface, you should be able to find "Image Adjustment Mode" option under the graphics tab. Set this to ICM Adjustment, and things should back to normal.
