Aotearoa Weekly Kōrero 20/9/2024 - eviltoast

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.
