DNS lookups to the Pi-hole address succeeded, but its query log stayed empty. The answers came from the router, whose ad-block feature redirects every port-53 packet on the LAN to its own resolver. How I found out, and the one-line test that would have saved me the afternoon.
I added local semantic search to a small knowledge base, and the default LLM reranker took 33 seconds to put the wrong document first. Every cheaper path got it right, which I only found out by asking questions I already knew the answers to.
