I’m still learning Linux, and one of the most useful commands I’ve picked up is:
systemctl status pihole-FTL
It shows whether the service is running and often gives you the first clue about why it failed. If I need more detail, I can then check its log with journalctl -u pihole-FTL
I like that this gives me somewhere sensible to start instead of changing settings at random. What’s the first command or check you use when troubleshooting a service?

That’s actually a good example of why Timeshift is worth having set up. Being able to roll back to a known-good point after something goes wrong can save a lot of messing about trying to work out exactly what changed.
