I moved my DNS to a pair of raspberry Pi 3’s running bind, with a DNS stub zone for my homelab domain that points to my homelab DNS servers.
That way the internet keeps working whether my homelab works or not. Keeps the wife aggro down.
Comment on Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times?

My home server does all my network related stuff (including DNS and DHCP) turning it off would be a very bad idea due to this.
I don’t have a UPS, but it is relatively high on my list.

It all depends if you actually nerd those services 24/7
I dont need DHCP or DNS from 1am to 6am for example

“Do I need them? No, but I nerd them, so they stay up!”
A most relevant typo 👍

You may not but your phone will fail over to data if it loses its lease and stuff like background update tasks will cease to function (like Windows Update or dnf cron)
