This is only a viable option for a device running a desktop OS. How am I going to do that on an iPhone, or for my TV?

  I get your point, but this is already solved in a much easier manner with an OprnWRT router (and GUI etc) and kind of a strawman's argument using DNS for that. OpenWRT comes out of the box even with social website toggles that require no configuration. Granted, you still have to install OpenWRT, but I still think that running a root DNS isn't necessary for home setups.

    Where the DNS server lives is a detail. What is a "root DNS"?
    • neuromanser 3y ago
      A Root domain, or a name server authoritative for such. I don't think OP meant either.

        Technitium advertises itself with being able to serve as a root DNS, in both its documentation and on their blog [1]. So I think my argument is still valid, as it's way too over engineered to be a simple, self-hosted, home lab solution for the problem at hand.
