I’m running opnsense virtualized. I’d recommend a spare PC with two nics to learn it on first.

Anything attempting to leave the LAN on port 53 or 853 gets redirected to my pihole and logged. It’s mostly google stuff, but TV’s do it too. A determined enshittifier could implement DoH or DoT.

I had a 3700x that would lock up sometimes at light usage. Passed every stress test, and could idle for days. I swapped ram, psu, and mb with no effect. It’s possible the microcode and firmware mentioned here could have fixed it but I got another CPU and all my problems went away. Worth the $200 for me.

I don’t think these companies notice anything shorter than a 3 month quarter

Yeah I’d rather deal with this than a blind persons gear not work

I’ve had wemos d1 boards from AliExpress show up as a brltty and the braille teletype driver grabs the device. Just something to look out for on some distros

My self hosted instance works great

VPS providers hate this one trick

The very first CD I ever bought. It’ll always be special for that reason, but I think it has held up well.
