Just wait until you encounter morse code abbreviations, some of which are still used in some industries. Like the wonderful X abbreviations, such as:
Wx - weather
Mx - maintainence
Tx/Rx - transmit/receive
Edit: I’m starting to think every industry totally did their own thing with morse abbreviations
Pi-hole is software that runs typically but not necessarily on a raspberry pi. It maintains a list of known advertising and tracking servers and blocks them by rerouting at the DNS level. For example an embed in a page tells your computer to contact tracking.facebook.com pihole tells your computer that that website is at 0.0.0.0 instead of it’s real IP address. Nifty thing is that you can redirect all of your DNS queries at the router so even devices that can’t normally run ad blockers can take advantage of it.

Well there’s a great big bastard of a nightlight out so I guess that makes sense.
I appreciate all of the weird instance names in here
I prefer to use a local DNS for internal services just so there is less publically available information about my internal network. No need to let everyone know what address space I use or which vlan certain services are on. Also means you don’t have to wait for public DNS servers to update.
When my dad died, no one renewed his domain, [last name].com, and some domain squatter bought it. A few years later the squatter noticed that I owned [last name].net and offered to sell it to me. I didn’t respond and I guess they figured out that an obscure last name isn’t worth anything and let it expire. I should probably buy it.
