  • What is the software setup when you’re actually configuring the minipc/box? Beyond the hardware architecture of the local network, what is the actual stack I should be pursuing and how is it implemented?

    For example: I read lots of great things about OPNsense, Wireguard, DietPi… but I don’t know what the exact stew should be and how to set it up ELI5 style.


  • I was lazy in my langauge. I meant DOCSIS modem -> router/firewall with everything -> access points or hardlined ethernet recipients. Current setup is Arris dedicated (non-wifi) 3.1 to Linksys mesh.

    99% of demands are local network performance. No mega streaming needs or huge external traffic. Upload on wireguard (Jellyfin or otherwise) will be pretty limited to a single user at once. But this is not critical. Local network is my usecase.

    I am 500/50, will probably up to fiber as soon as it’s available. But again not a lot of external traffic, hyper limited.

    So get a switch between the router/minipc/whatever and the rest of the local network instead of many on-board ethernet?
















  • First recognize the most important reason you’re losing, and I hate to be cliche about it, but it’s the Glengarry Glen Ross rule: coffee is for closers only. These are the Glengarry leads and they’re not for you losers.

    The Dems simply suck at selling. They suck at critically self examining their own strategy and get high on their own supply—while hardcore Christians within the GOP are meticulously planning for years their long term plays for generational change in their favor. The Supreme Court is the ultimate example of this.

    This has nothing to do with policy, being too right or left, etc. You simply (a) suck at selling, (b) are not clearly selling something simple.

    Dems can’t sell well to their own customers on the left.

    After you address the mechanics of this—the messenger, the message, the product, the ROI, the user and experience—then you can be concerned with policy.

    The Dems mistaken think policy is what is selling. It is not. Trump is not selling policy or issues at the end of the day. He’s selling a vision of how to solve the biggest problems.

    Sure he’s a pig rapist. The fact that you can’t outsell a pig rapist 78 year old should tell you just how bad you are at selling.

    It is simply not about the issues.
