I wish I never told anyone I worked or studied tech. Especially older family and friends, because their requests for help are relentless.

A lot of friends are chill with it, and I don’t mind doing a little bit of help, but sometimes people are who are OFFENDED when you don’t want to help. In the same way a contractor friend won’t remodel your home for free, I am not going to fix every single issue you have with your computer for free. I’m happy to give advice, but i’m not going to work for hours without pay to fix everything.

    To a degree, yes. Like I was saying, some of the symptoms do seem to have gone away, but I do still have what appears to be intermittent loss of domain name resolution. Maybe I have so many devices phoning home that the service freaks every once in a while.

    Unfortunately, now that I’m using the router to handle all of this with the stock firmware, I don’t have as good of logging as I did when I was running all of that on my Pi.

        It was changed at one point, but not at the same time as the service was changed. I went from a nighthawk to an Orbi 3-way mesh probably a year before switching to fiber.

            I know 1.1.1.1 as primary and if I have a secondary set, it’s Google which is either 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4. I’ll check in a bit but I’m exhausted after work.
