was wondering if you could make a local DNS server for the
house. I was thinking of looking into that, but it seems it has
already been done. I like that mDNS will work with regular
DNS. I will have to evolve into this. I figure if I keep
trying to keep track my network stuff with hand written files,
that eventually it will be so painful and hard that learning a
bunch of new stuff will be the easy way out.... Does building
a better mouse trap only create smarter mice? Wait a minute I
see some cheese <br>

I’ve had no difficulty width 3b+es and phone power
supplies with a 2a nameplate rating. It is highly
likely that freebie grade micro usb cables (and ohms
law and 28-30 awg wire) are to blame. Consider trying
Anker or other higher quality cables that are rated
for fast charging of phones.

<div>Speaking of which if you have a herd of tiny ARM
devices that want 2 amps, I’ve found that the 6 port
60w Anker power supplies are most excellent for the
workbench or rack. They also make nice
presents/stocking stuffers. <span

<div><br>
</div>
<div>And yes, they now have versions that do usb-c if
your newest phone needs that. Anker makes good
quality products at the right price. Two thumbs up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, yes, dhcp leases are sticky by MAC
address. They tend to not be durable across router
reboots though unless you have an environment where
you can make the lease permanent. If you have a
Linux box you can use nmap to scan your subnet and
find your stuff (and if you run it as root it will
tell you about the OUI in the MAC address which can
be handy,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lastly, since you have a herd of these beasties,
on Raspbian at least you can set them up to run sshd
out of the box, which eliminates the need to set up
a console for one that is freshly installed.
Wouldn’t surprise me if other distros follow this. <a
