The complete guide to building your personal self hosted server for streaming and ad-blocking powered by Plex, Jellyfin, Adguard Home and Docker.

  • The router is not directly involved in a dns query except, we'll, the routing if it's an non local IP. The DNS ip addresses is propagated either via dhcp together with the clients or directly configured in the client. That said: most routers serve as dhcp server at the same time. Perhaps your router is configured to always provide your ISPs DNS as primary.

    How the client handles the decision which to query I honestly don't know and I guess that's why you and I made different experiences!

  • The client does a fallback if one dns doesn't answer. That's why dns ad blockers fail if 8.8.8.8 or some other dns is added as a secondary :)

    • Any good alternatives to Home Assistant?

  • I second openhab. Can't speak for too many integrations but all I tried work without issues.

    Especially the separation of abstraction layers is something that I came to appreciate highly. You have the physical object, it's item representation and then the rules and interactions. On the downside might be the way that this abstraction makes the configuration a bit more complicated - but as you're missing the yaml config you might enjoy the configuration files! I'd just give it a shot :)

    HA has a sour taste for me since their broken promise about open sourcing their server side. It's still a black box. Plus the whole dns debacle a while back. And I honestly don't understand how HA is still the de facto standard for home automation - I tried recreating some of my more complicated rules in HA and it became such a mess very quickly (think of 3 or 4 non nested conditions and altering the states of multiple objects depending on virtual items).

    • Can someone explain Usenet to a long-time torrent-er?

  • Thanks!

    But now I'll have to decide if I wait for black Friday for a test run with a provider or if I'm greedy :D

  • Just curious: why?

    I never tried proxmox that's why I'm asking :)

  • Thanks a bunch for the explanation! One followup question though: how do I find a decent indexer that's working well with the arr world? I briefly looked into it and frankly was overwhelmed by the amount out there - and some of those pages straight out look fishy...

    Thanks in advance! ♥
