alt Hacker NewsThat's a bit weird to read for me as well. DNS and local DNS were the first services I've been self-hosting since 2005.
On Debian/Ubuntu, hosting local DNS service is easy as `apt-get install dnsmasq` and putting a few lines into `/etc/dnsmasq.conf`.
These modern-day homelabbers will do anything to avoid DNS, looks like to them it's some kind of black magic where things will inevitably go wrong and all hell will break loose.
