- Comment on Noob question about PiHole 10 months ago:
RFC 2182 details the operation and functionality of secondary DNS servers. Which defines/influences how resolvers behave with multiple DNS servers.
- Comment on Noob question about PiHole 10 months ago:
When you specify more than one DNS server for network clients, the order in which these servers are used is not random. The following sequence is observed:
Primary DNS Server: Clients will first attempt to use the primary DNS server specified in their network settings. This server is often considered the default.
Secondary DNS Server: If the primary DNS server is unavailable or unable to resolve a query, clients will then attempt to use the secondary DNS server. This server acts as a backup.
So in OPs case his Pihole will always be used if it’s available, and only when it’s not will the secondary be used.

I first deployed ESX back in 2003 and from then on I was a huge fan of VMware. So, watching Broadcoms changes unfold is a little sad.
What i really wanted to ask is, for meduim to large enterprises that want on-prem infrastructures what are their options nowadays? I don’t work in this area any more so I’m out of touch.

- Comment on Amazon is blocking promotions of employees who don't comply with its return-to-office policy, leaked documents show 1 year ago:
Coersive Exclusion usually falls under the Equalities Act in the UK and against one of the protected criteria in the act but Nationwide Building Society recently lost a court case against them regarding forced office attendance. I don’t remember the specifics but it may he worth reading up on.
I will add, I’m no legal expert. My advice would be for your friend to speak to Citizens Advice Bureau or a solicitor to see whether they have a case.

This article is very specifically talking about coercive exclusion which is illegal in the UK under employment law. Maybe in other countries too.

- Comment on Slack Vs Microsoft Teams — Which App Is Better For Your Privacy & Security? [Mozilla Foundation] 1 year ago:
Microsoft are incredibly talented… at buying software that’s great and then ruining it! Live Comms Server was bought then they bought Skype, both were good, and they slowly but surely turned into the Shambles known as Teams.
They have quite the record of pulling off this stunt.
