Pihole v6
I'm using https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync to sync my three piholes but I'll need to find a replacement if I upgrade to pihole v6.

Sync Local DNS and Lists on second pihole - latest way?
OR I could implement https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync as it's last commit was a year ago but users still seem to be using it.

Is it possible to have 2x DHCP servers with Pi-Hole + Gravity Sync?
I run the split DHCP approach for years without issues. Having only one PiHole with DHCP Server doesn’t give you a fully redundant system. I don’t use Gravity Sync myself, but their wiki covers this case with examples: https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync/wiki/DHCP-Replication

Running PiHole on a second server
I don't have anything add to your question. But I recommend installing gravity-sync if you're going to run two piholes. It will sync up DNS entries (among other things) automatically to the second pihole when you add a entry one of them. https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

how much traffic would you expect to go to secondary pihole?
If you go the 2 pihole route, I strongly recommend Gravity-Synch. https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

Blocking 4-5,000 quiries to ccp-lh.googleusercontent.com
I'm using this fork of the official pihole docker https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists. This docker image by default contains the block lists form https://firebog.net/, but only the safe ones that shouldn't affect web browsing which is what I've seen the past few days I've been running it.

LPT - Your (Samsung) TV secretly exports your data every 10 seconds, but you can turn it off.
I'm using https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists to take care of that, recommended.

Half of smart appliances remain disconnected from Internet, makers lament | Did users change their Wi-Fi password, or did they see the nature of IoT privacy?
You configure black lists in pihole that block the pertinent domains. There are even adding you can install that will keep the black lists updated (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists)

pihole-updatelists in unRAID
Hello fellow unRAIDERs. I’ve got Pihole up and running no issues. I’ve seen suggestions for “The Firebog” (https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php) as extra URL’s to add to Pihole. One was wondering general consensus are people doing and like the results? And for the unRAID specific question I did a quick search for the “pihole-updatelists” (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists) in the apps section so wondering if anyone has been able to automate this process on their unRAID server. It seems to me initial look like that would be almost necessary to not create lots of extra work. Thanks!
