Noob question about PiHole
  • 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.

  • Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners
  • 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.

  • Scottish minister blames sons watching football for £11,000 iPad roaming bill
  • "He failed to properly disclose", that's one way of saying that he bareface lied.

    Its OK though he's going to pay some of it himself so that the tax payer only has to cough up £8k.

    He should be forced to pay it all and sacked.

  • Deciding between Fairphone 5 and Pixel 8
  • If privacy and security are your top priorities, which it sounds like they are, and you want a performance similar to OnePlus 8, go with the Google Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS. It's more aligned with your need for strong app sandboxing and convenient Google services integration, etc.

  • Best way to share video to a friend ? (~1GB)
  • Have a look at SwissTransfer. Its run by Infomaniak, and supports files up to 50gb. You can password protect transfers and set the maximum amount of times a file can be downloaded.

    Alternatively you can go a bit old school and encrypt the files on a pen drive and send by courier. I still do this as I have some family with broadband speeds from 20 years ago.

  • Amazon is blocking promotions of employees who don't comply with its return-to-office policy, leaked documents show
  • 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.

  • Infomaniak KSuite.

    I currently have all my emails with Mailbox.org and I've just moved my websites to Infomaniak, I'm thinking of moving my emails there too. I noted that they also have a product called KSuite which looks like a G Suite / Office 365 Online alternative. Does anyone have any experience of using it? Or are there better solutions out there? Thanks in advance.
