0x17 :cch:<p>Today I found <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/Blocky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blocky</span></a>. A cool <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> alternative that is available in the nix packages. I configure Blocky, integrate it into Grafana and find that I can't edit the DHCP Server in my plastic router. Now I'm sitting here and looking at how I can build my own <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a> router. Typical course of projects. -.-</p>

ItzTrain<p>I couldn't leave well enough alone in the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> I put <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/dnsdist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dnsdist</span></a> back in the mix balancing 2 <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/coredns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coredns</span></a> servers for my services based on source and then the rest going to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/blocky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blocky</span></a>. I gotta set vrrp with one more instance of dns dist and I got so much overkill of DNS for no for fucking reason!</p>
ItzTrain<p>I'm not exactly sure how I got here! I been trying to figure out my DNS infra for some damn reason. It's DNS who the fuck cares. I can't let it go! </p><p>I just want to exercise my second DNS server, cause it's just there. So lets put <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/dnsdist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dnsdist</span></a> in front of it, solid!. It gave me a promfana endpoint to see shit. Dope! Then I'm like I want that for my DNS servers! Insert <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/coredns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coredns</span></a>. It's coo! Fast! Easy to use! Ad blocking, not so much. Insert <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/blocky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blocky</span></a>. Ok WTF is going on! </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a></p>
ItzTrain<p>Been banging my head to see if <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/distdns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>distdns</span></a> would pass the EDNS source ip to my bakend dns servers in the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm also trying out <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/blocky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blocky</span></a> which seems cool.. I'm not sure If I like it yet or not. </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>
