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 own both `mydomain.com` and `mydomain.net`, and the `.net` is all my internal services (eg `homeassistant.mydomain.net`). The public `.com` domain I use exclusively for email and a static site.

    I had some old employer with a similar segmentation so it just made sense to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
