#2Isn’t self-hosting a dns server kind off pointless if you are the only user? Like doesn’t that make you unique to tracking?

It can forward queries over TLS or HTTPS to another public DNS server and act as a caching server for all programs on your internal network.

You want to reach your self-hosted services within your network easier.

How about using the etc hosts file?

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.

Are there any uostream DNS Servers that would allow you to just download the while database and then everything immediately after its TTL runs out? I can image it would be a lot of traffic.

You can also add internal DNS records with Pi-Hole if you happen to be self hosting that as well.

#10How it compares to let's say AdGuard Home? Seems similar https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome
