What non-evil DNS server do you recommend? (sopuli.xyz)

I feel kinda bad about feeding google with data. Is there some name server I can point my servers to that upholds my privacy and does not run analytics on the requests it gets?

Mullvad's DNS. It's available for non-subscribers as well, and their privacy policy explicitly claims they do not log DNS requests in any way. https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy/

They support both DoT and DoH, and also have various servers for blocking ads, trackers etc (if you wish to use them): https://github.com/mullvad/dns-blocklists

I feel dumb for not using this along with my PiHole for my home, I only have 1 PiHole machine and I couldn't allow myself to set it up as main DNS so I used the default ISP as a second one in case my unit stopped working (because of experience).

Well, if you're using Mullvad's malware/ad filters etc there's really no need for a PiHole in the first place (unless you're doing some funky custom filtering).
