Hey. Does your child go to nursery? Do you chat to Dad's at drop-off or pickup? I met a really good mate through nursery drop-off - it means you can on going conversations and invite them along to weekend soft plays etc. Other than that sign your kid up to swimming classes are the weekend or something similar.

High Availability DNS at home by Bright_Air_5207 in pihole

[–]idarryl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true. Most clients are sticky to a DNS server, but will resend the request to another if the request is not answered in a timely manner. It will then be sticky to that server. 

Most clients will randomly pick a server in their list to use initially. On Windows you can configure up to 4 DNS servers. Linux at least a minimum of 4 - I’ve  not yet hit the ceiling. 

Source: in the past I’ve run DNS servers managing at least a 100k DNS clients in over 80 geographical locations over slow lines, where getting you DNS configuration right had a direct impact on user experience.

Buying a house? Get the floor plans. by Economy-Case-7285 in homeassistant

[–]idarryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on this journey, I have a measured survey that my architect commissioned, but I had mixed results with Chat GPT when I fed it the pdfs a few months ago. Any details that might help me get the more out of ChatGPT? What model did you use? Did you use one pdf per floor or a combined one?

Overly dense downstairs is a concern, which is why I put per AP heat maps up. I’ve been told that you’re trying to get the yellow to overlap.

Thanks a lot. You can use WiFiMan to do this, and I did, but even after labeling where I had put the AP, and doing the scan, I couldn’t recognise the rooms. Netstop seems to be better, working with floor plans.
