    Well, after working as some form of systems engineer for the last 17 years, including quite a few where some of my primary responsibilities were looking for DNS servers, this is literally the first time I have come across this.

    Also not quite sure what they’re doing because my Debian, 2x Windows, 3x Android and occasionally Apple clients never bypass my primary DNS setting. Neither do the server farms I run at work. So who knows.

    A secondary DNS server set in your DHCP options will do no such thing.

    The secondary DNS server is only used if lookups to the primary fail, say like when your pihole crashes or something.

    The only way it will work the way you think it’s going to, is if you set your DNS resolver to use round robin on a list of DNS servers.

    Its literally just a backup DNS server address, and is only used should the primary fail, and returning an nxdomain is not a failure.

    Please note, I use secondary to refer to the 2nd IP in your DHCP/DNS options, not to a secondary DNS server, which is something else.





  • Less good than not having children. But we are all free to make our own choices, but I don’t think that you can seriously hold both “I care about the environment” and “I’m choosing to bring life into the world and damage the environment” ideas in your head without a lot of hypocrisy.

    I know you may think, my one kid won’t have such a big impact on the environment, but when 7 billion think that, the problem is exponential.




  • Life is a painful mess, no matter what you do, you can’t guarantee that your child won’t have the most horrid existence imaginable, rolling the dice on someone else’s life due to your own selfish need to procreate is what they’re saying is wrong. I regret that my mom had me, life has been a living hell, nothing short of her not having me would have changed that.
