I use the command line mostly, and spaces in file names and bash do not
work well together...

Ths confirmns you are running a RasPi in 64-bit mode:

So you have no UART, your /dev/ttyS0 should be /dev/ttyAMA0.  You
should use ttyAMA0 to remind yourself, and your users, that you do not
have a UART.  But it looks like you do not have that option...

You have Magic Hat enabled:

# Magic Hat enabled.

And Magic Hat requires ttyAMA0

This is odd:

ttyAMA0 is usually this:

> crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 204, 64 Jun 21 19:22 /dev/ttyAMA0

So you are using the UART driver on the non-UART port.  Dunno how that
happened. And it breaks "Magic Hat".  Prolly a bug in pihole, you
should file a bug report with them on that.

This shows your u-blox firmware ProtVer is 14:

{"class":"DEVICES","devices":[{"class":"DEVICE","path":"/dev/ttyS0","driver":"u-blox","subtype":"SW
 1.00 (59842),HW 00070000","subtype1":"PROTVER 
14.00,GPS;SBAS;GLO;QZSS","activated":"2024-11-15T20:26:57.423Z","flags":1,"native":1,"bps":9600,"parity":"N","stopbits":1,"cycle":1.00,"mincycle":0.02}]}

I think the latest is up to 34The latests is over 34, so yours is really out
of date.  Fine if all you want is time.

I'm still guessing that your main problem is in /boot/config.txt
