I should clarify I wasn’t a upper level sys admin managing those servers, I just used them or maintained accounts being a rank and file technician

While I get the fundamental concept of DNS as a phonebook for your IPs. I am not sure why it is joked around if something goes haywire or someone breaks something.

Is it because if you get no DNS, people can’t log in through their AD accounts, browse the Internet?

Afaik DNS is a bit of a rabbit hole topic, maybe that’s why people joke about it due to DNS being this “No one really knows how this magic name matching box works”?

Please correct me, I’d genuinely like to know why this is prevalent from you guys.

    Ah okay. Unbound is arch, pi hole is Ubuntu. I have gripes with pi hole but it’s never not worked for me. I might just do that instead (if I ever get around to it lmao)

      More like: Unbound = Gentoo, PiHole = Arch, AdGuard = Ubuntu
