Yes. NextDNS is ideal for mobile devices which is what I recommend. On your home network typically I think it's best to resolve and filter locally (i.e. unbound + adguard) but NextDNS is capable of filling a lot of people's needs on it's own.
Try this:
1. Set up NextDNS per device first.
2. Use one profile.
3. Keep blocklists conservative at the start.
4. Live with it for a week or two and see what breaks.
Only then consider adding it to the router as a baseline.
You don't need Pi hole or anything else for this use case. Cloud is fine if you are threat modeling realistically. I'd rather you establish control first than anything else. You can always do more and go further later.

Solid list. A few more:

• Operational mindset: Schneier’s essays on real world security tradeoffs
• Failure analysis: postmortems and writeups of what didn’t work (often more valuable than success stories)
• System thinking: Zero Trust Networks from O'Reilly, even if you are not building networks it's a good overview on how to think beyond the perimeter based security model.

ok
1. Compromise recovery without losing your identity
Alice’s phone is stolen. Her current epoch key (A1) is compromised.
She goes to her offline root, derives A2 publishes a lineage event, and every client that supports rotation simply shows:
“Alice is now using a new key.”
Her followers don’t need to refollow and Alice doesn’t have to burn her whole account. Old posts stay signed by A1, new posts come from A2 Identity continuity is preserved.
2. Routine rotation without breaking the social graph
Bob rotates keys yearly for hygiene.
He derives A1 -> A2 -> A3
Clients that support rotation automatically follow A3 as Bob’s active identity. Readers see Bob’s profile, posts, and interactions exactly as before. They don’t need to understand the rotation. His timeline remains continuous because the client knows A1 -> A2 -> A3 belong to the same lineage.
Nothing is merged. Nothing is rewritten. The UX change is simply that Bob can rotate keys safely without losing his audience or starting over.
That’s the whole point: survivable identity without heavy protocol mechanics.

Surveillance doesn’t need a camera when your own phone is screaming “here I am.” Once you recognize the pings, you’re no longer passive cargo in a tracking system. You’re the one deciding when and how you broadcast.
