My network is a few devices in my home, so up until now I've just been using what works. Now it doesn't reliably work so I'll probably change it at some point.

My network is a few devices in my home, so up until now I've just been using what works. Now it doesn't reliably work so I'll probably change it at some point. I don't really care about the standards, I care about what my devices do, and until the past few months my Linux devices defaulted to (mis)using .local.
