I don't recall anything about .home being recommended, but yeah Microsoft did suggest .local back in the early 2000s and then go back on that. The RFC for mDNS standardised its use of .local in 2013. Once things end up in some Internet RFC that's a bit more weight than just a vendor suggesting it. Vendors do crazy things, like putting captive portals on the 1.1.1.1 IP address. > I was going to change everything yet again to home.arpa but now it might be > .internal? At worst I expect both will be reserved for this use. There's unlikely to be any terrible problem with whatever you use now so I wouldn't worry about it.
