Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Make sure you're also blocking all other outbound DNS at your firewall. Many "smart" devices (and presumably some apps, though I have no way to check this) are hard coded to use 8.8.8.8 regardless of what DCHP says to use.
Install Pi-Hole to block ads but use DNS server provided by the biggest ad company? o.O
No he is saying that many smart devices ignore your DNS (pi-hole) as they hardcoded their DNS address to 8.8.8.8. So it is important to have an additional layer to block at the firewall.
Ah, gotcha! Thanks
