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.

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.

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

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.
