minus-square@Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoThanks but I hardly needed anyone permission to not use that. .local still works just fine.
minus-square@bfg9k@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoI used to use .local but mDNS can get confused, .home has been fine though
minus-square@tills13@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoExcept when it doesn’t. It can have issues around multicast dns.
minus-square@UberMentch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-21 year agoI’ve had issues with .local on my Android device. Straight up doesn’t work. I had to change to .lan
minus-square@tuhriel@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoSame here, just stumbled across this issue yesterday when I tried to restructure my network to use .local
minus-square@BCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoIt just means .internal won’t be relayed out on the internet, as it will be reserved for local only.
minus-square@LrdThndr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•1 year agoGood luck with that. .local is reserved for mDNS calls, and not every OS treats it the same way. Ask me how I know.
