minus-square@ItdidnttrickledownlinkEnglish17•6 months agoThanks but I hardly needed anyone permission to not use that. .local still works just fine.
minus-square@tills13linkEnglish17•6 months agoExcept when it doesn’t. It can have issues around multicast dns.
minus-square@UberMentchlinkEnglish14•edit-26 months agoI’ve had issues with .local on my Android device. Straight up doesn’t work. I had to change to .lan
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•6 months agoSame here, just stumbled across this issue yesterday when I tried to restructure my network to use .local
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•6 months agoIt just means .internal won’t be relayed out on the internet, as it will be reserved for local only.
minus-square@LrdThndrlinkEnglish6•6 months agoGood luck with that. .local is reserved for mDNS calls, and not every OS treats it the same way. Ask me how I know.
minus-square@ItdidnttrickledownlinkEnglish2•6 months agoBeen working fine for me for twenty years or more in a mixed environment.
minus-square@bfg9klinkEnglish3•6 months agoI used to use .local but mDNS can get confused, .home has been fine though

I think it was only added in android 12.
