Playing information ping pong. We sent them some issue with a lot of information and instead of actually investigating they often dragged on the whole thing by asking for details they should have themselves, taking hours-days to respond etc before they actually did something. We often had to escalate issues via our account manager.

This was all on enterprise support while I was working for a company that paid six figures each month for infrastructure in their data center.

Only know Ionos in DE but I can’t recommend it, the support is pretty bad.

Never heard of this so far but maybe. Would be interesting to try

What would they do about it?

That’s what I thought. Btw, your formatting seems to be broken.

Yes, mostly just the hostnames

How do you set up clients so they will always use the first one? I thought if a client knows 2 servers they will switch between them.

I plan to add a second Pihole at some point and keep them synced

That’s cool! I’ve always had the idea of a small k3s cluster on old phones with postmarketOS. I guess it doesn’t work with older phones which don’t have the latest Android Version but given the homelab trend generally goes towards small, low power devices, this could continue the trend with super small and low power phones. Probably in 2 years when current gen phones rotate out of company leasing contracts?

Does your router have webinterface where you can monitor and potentially limit network usage of devices?

I’m not too familiar with the arr stack but if it is constantly downloading videos it’s probably using full bandwidth. Maybe you can also limit in the arr settings or throttle the network interface on the laptop.
