what does not work:

  • i can not ping server.local (- for testing i have to stop the systemd-resolved.service to run the dnsmasq server, or else there are port collisions, but that should not be the problem i guess. I am happy to hear your solution :))
  • i can also not use ssh to log in to server.local, ip address works

Have you added "server.local" as a DNS record in your dnsmasq container, pointing to your servers LAN IP? Sounds like dnsmasq isn't resolving that name, which would lead to both of these 'failures'.

Oh damn, I hadn't noticed. My setup is still functioning just fine.

There is an alternative though: Orbital-Sync

I haven't actually used it, so I can't say much about it; but I'll probably look into replacing gravity-sync with that.

https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/

I use this to translate DNS to DoH, and use cloudflare, and quad9 upstream.

environment:
  - TUNNEL_DNS_UPSTREAM=https://1.1.1.1/dns-query,https://1.0.0.1/dns-query,https://9.9.9.9/dns-query,https://149.112.112.9/dns-query

Haven't really noticed any DNS based lag.

Why not both?

My primary DNS is pihole on a rpi dedicated to the task; but I run a second instance of pihole via my main docker stack for redundancy. Should one or the other be unavailable, there's a second one to pick up the slack.

I just provide both DNS IPs to LAN clients via DHCP.

Gravity Sync is a great tool to keep both piholes settings/records/lists in sync.

Same, though I'm using acme.sh and DNS-01. (had to go look at the script that triggers it to remember, lol)

I check the log file my update script writes every few months just to be sure nothings screwy, but I've had 0 issues in 7 years of using LE now.

A paid cert isn't worth it.

I can't speak for OP; but I'm interested in exploring the entire toolbox, not just 'the official family'/what the one set of developers make.

Even that's an incomplete list though, for example:

If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush's computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

I got into quite a bit of similar mischief as a (pre)teen; but I didn't do any of it on equipment that I knew was monitored (at least, monitored and signed out to me....)

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

And again; I think that's a bit of a separate issue. These devices shouldn't be equipped with cameras, let alone have the camera monitored/accessible.

The actual activity happening on the device; running applications, what's on screen/in storage, even it's location (with informed notice of said tracking) sure. but there's no need to monitor/access the camera regardless of how or where the device is used.

A simple piece of tape fixes this problem. (plus education to teach students why, ofc)

kids take these computers home

I feel like that is the bigger problem. These aren't private/personal devices; students shouldn't be treating them as personal devices. Especially knowing it's a monitored device.

Properly educating students on the use of these devices is the solution. Not telling schools to turn a blind eye to the use of their own equipment.

Yeah, when i was in school; there were no devices issued to students. We had 'computer labs'. Ie; a room full of computers for student use. There was always one computer for the teachers to use that had a remote-desktop interface monitoring every screen in the room live. They could always see what you were doing, lockout your keyboard/mouse, blank your display.

This really doesn't seem any different.

I could understand outrage if students were require to install this on their own hardware; but school issued devices are under the schools monitoring and control. Always have been.
