RFC 2182 details the operation and functionality of secondary DNS servers. Which defines/influences how resolvers behave with multiple DNS servers.

When you specify more than one DNS server for network clients, the order in which these servers are used is not random. The following sequence is observed:

Primary DNS Server: Clients will first attempt to use the primary DNS server specified in their network settings. This server is often considered the default.

Secondary DNS Server: If the primary DNS server is unavailable or unable to resolve a query, clients will then attempt to use the secondary DNS server. This server acts as a backup.

So in OPs case his Pihole will always be used if it’s available, and only when it’s not will the secondary be used.

They can’t stop synth meat coming in at the minute, but they can after they decide to Italeave… that doesn’t sound as good as Brexit, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened.

“He failed to properly disclose”, that’s one way of saying that he bareface lied.

Its OK though he’s going to pay some of it himself so that the tax payer only has to cough up £8k.

He should be forced to pay it all and sacked.

As far as Microsoft is concerned it looks like I now live in Ireland.

As someone who is sadly no longer part of the EEA, I wonder what would happen if you selected an EEA region during install, removed everything you want gone, then set your region properly?

Coersive Exclusion usually falls under the Equalities Act in the UK and against one of the protected criteria in the act but Nationwide Building Society recently lost a court case against them regarding forced office attendance. I don’t remember the specifics but it may he worth reading up on.

I will add, I’m no legal expert. My advice would be for your friend to speak to Citizens Advice Bureau or a solicitor to see whether they have a case.

This is more along the lines of their implementation of the Citrix Workplace App or Citrix Receiver.

This is Microsoft… What’s the catch?

This article is very specifically talking about coercive exclusion which is illegal in the UK under employment law. Maybe in other countries too.

This sort of thing needs stopped before it gets out of hand.

These are definitely an improvement over the current icons but while some of the design rules are evident, i think a bit of refining is in order.

The games and download folders both need a complete redesign as the ignore the design rules that the other folders use, and why are the symbols on each folder white except for the Mac folder?

This is great and a step in the right direction, roll on self-sufficient streets, villages, and towns.

Damn it. I can’t upvote and down vote at the same time. Firstly, yes I agree that a total rebranding is needed, as the logos for MicroOS, Kalpa, etc are well… Uninspired. Secondly, leave the penguin alone man.

This has actually been on Microsoft’s internal roadmap for a while now. The bigger goal is to move to a Desktop as a Service model for Windows.

If you think that them forcing a browser on you, or forced telemetry, or web-based logons are bad just wait until they enforce desktop in the cloud and remove any option to install Windows locally. Then you’ll truly have no control over what you do, what you install, you’ll be completely monitored, permenantly. There’s a reason workers (with some degree of integrity) are leaving MS as it’s crap like this thats on their roadmap.

Microsoft are incredibly talented… at buying software that’s great and then ruining it! Live Comms Server was bought then they bought Skype, both were good, and they slowly but surely turned into the Shambles known as Teams.

They have quite the record of pulling off this stunt.
