I have used pi-hole recommended config. I have used unbound recommended config (which feels incomplete and confusing). I have tried tweaks here and there. End result is this.

So far, the longest I have had success is with unbound docker container. The issue with that is that it seems to not be caching entries.

This saying doesn’t work in most countries

I used a similar docker compose config. Yesterday I learned that unbound doesn’t have root.hints by default. I downloaded it following Anudeep’s guide on Github and it was working. But within 2 hours, it started taking too long to respond and eventually stopped replying to pihole. I had to switch to cloudflare.

Prevention is better than cure

I tried again today with baremetal and docker install but I always end up with SERVFAIL after some time.

*arr group apps

They just want to be a part of our lives. Involve them in your routines. Going grocery shopping might be a chore for you but it is a trip for them.

Always make them think it is their choice. If they don’t want to eat abc and xyz but the dinner is abc and xyz, ask them what do they want to eat first - abc or xyz?

I don’t think it happens because I have used NextDNS and the logs show my activity.

“Reddit”

Not as far as I know. I have never been throttled or anything ever. I have never seen any charges.

You seem knowledgeable. I have a question about this. I have ran this type of setup before. Every time, I ended up ditching unbound because it throws DNSSEC error. I have tried troubleshooting but it doesn’t work.

It is good but it doesn’t have an iOS app.

It looks good but it is not available for Linux/Windows or as a web app.

But desktops are not meant to be carried in your hand or backpack, this is.

Damn. Probably the only people who wouldn’t mind the hassle.

This is going to be heavy af and it probably has battery life of 10 minutes. So it will need a charger too.

Most of it is functional things like iCloud, notifications, share my location, etc. Apple has very few domains for telemetry alone.

I am pretty sure desktops can be used if you are in such a situation. Portable power has been a thing for decades.

Fair enough

Impractical. Why would anyone ever need so many screens on the go?
