Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

What trouble did you have with local DNS? I haven't had any issues.

What I like about Pi-hole is the control. With the block ads setting here, it's a checkbox on or off. Pi-hole lets me add custom block lists, and see a log of what's being blocked to help me resolve issues with sites not working.

Annoyingly I have Amplify APs which while made by Ubiquiti they aren't compatible with the Unifi range in terms of controller. They work fine but I have to manage them separately.

Its only recent releases of Unifi Network that have made it easy to setup local DNS entries - it used to be very kludgy or not possible back when I first deployed PiHole as DNS for me.
