I’ve wanted to install pihole so I can access my machines via DNS, currently I have names for my machines in my /etc/hosts files across some of my machines, but that means that I have to copy the configuration to each machine independently which is not ideal.

I’ve seen some popular options for top-level domain in local environments are *.box or *.local.

I would like to use something more original and just wanted to know what you guys use to give me some ideas.

    i made up a not real, non-standard TLD that i use lol (.null)

    I have a self signed CA that all my devices trust. Getting a real domain and just using that, with LetsEncrypt, would not have required me to explicitly trust my own CA, but hey, my system works.

    and i know i know, RFCs, but it works, and doesn’t break anything.
