Again, only our 1st Gen Echos do this.It's not causing any problems, per se, but it's annoying me, causing a little extra load on the wifi I could do without, and likely also using more power.(Tagging in <a href="https://mastodon.social/@tdp_org" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@tdp_org</a>, <a href="https://social.bbc/@BBCRD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@BBCRD</a> and <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/@bobdvb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bobdvb</a> in case they have any insight)

The A record has a TTL of 20s, and appears to be part of the BBC's live streaming radio infrastructure.This accounts for ~400 lookups every ten minutes against my pihole, ~90% of which receive cached responses.

Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈I wonder if taking away the ability of a few hundred thousand people around the world to listen to BBC 6 Music is really in the interests of promoting British Music and culture around the world and whether the little twats around here who cry "pay your fair share" will sleep soundly tonight now their mighty quest is over? Why bother fighting for this culture when it doesn't want to live, yeah?

I see Dud people!Radio 3 unwind is missing from the home page on the BBC sounds app again. By chance, I still had the live service on the player, and so I can listen to said station.
