I’d recommend giving the ASUS Merlin firmware a try if you feel up to it. It might work out better than stock firmware if that’s what you’re running.

Does the controller software have to run 24/7 or only when you need to make config changes?

I’m looking into the Omada ecosystem and wondering if the hardware controller is crucial or a convenience that can be deferred.

I’ve been meaning to standup another pihole on another pi for DNS redundancy. I have to research how to best keep the piholes in sync. So far I’ve found orbital-sync and gravity-sync.

I use pihole for managing DNS and DHCP. It’s run via docker and the compose file and dnsmasq configs are version controlled so if the Pi dies I can just bring it up on another Pi.

The Pi with pihole has a static IP to avoid some of the issues you described.

It doesn’t break federation? I recall it broke federation for kbin, thought it’d be the same for Lemmy sue to the underlying tech being the same.

Lemmy got active enough after the API changes took effect that I have rarely been back.
