  • I am not a very good sysadmin. All I remember is the DoH feature was causing me problems in accessing my LAN servers.

    I have it a little different than you: I have a halfbaked split-DNS system wherein nc.mydomain.TLD resolves to my public IP address in public DNS, and then on the LAN, the router and the pihole both have DNS entries saying that nc.mydomain.TLD points to 192.168.1.10 . I know I should just have one DNS provider for simplicity or do it better somehow, but I don’t want a single point of failure BC the raspberry pi has failed in the past.

    That’s why I started out setting an exception in firefox. I’ve since put other LAN-only services on mydomain.tld, and I think I was having trouble resolving those too without the exception. But unlike you I don’t have private ips in public DNS, although AFAIK that’s a fine practice.






  • Maybe pedantry is not your cup of tea, but I listen to technology connections.

    And the best type of correct is technically correct.

    The whole reason to be precise about language is because it is confusing when you read something and go “that does not make sense” and then think about it for a minute and then realize what it means.

    We don’t call them “fake emails” for a reason. It’s confusing. Spam email, spurious email, fake sender address, phishing, etc., are less confusing. Same with physical mail. Don’t be mad just because I want to read stuff nice.
