I've broken my internet many times by asking ChatGPt for help setting up PiHole as a DHCP server. I'll post conversation excerpts later if I remember.

It was just giving commands to run that were plain wrong and extremely destructive, and unless you already knew what they were doing you were screwed.

I have 4-5 more conversations like this. It's honestly almost a piece of art, the LLM keeps spouting out shit like "Ah got it, your issue is clear now", and digging deeper into the wrong direction.

I'm a sysadmin / infra engineer by trade. DNS is something I stopped hosting myself because it's always DNS and when it goes down everything else does to.

Email/DNS I outsource, everything else I homelab.

Well my PiHole uses the DNS servers from CloudFlare so I don't actually self-host DNS, but having PiHole as DHCP server was the only way for me to have all my devices going through the PiHole.

In the end I literally had to give up, it's just too problematic.
