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.

    Being a bit of a rebel myself. I use ONLY a tld, and where subdomains would be used, I use domain.tld

    This has lead me to discover quite a few projects out there that don’t parse domain names correctly, especially when you want to use an email like admin@tld and it cries because you have no dot.
