Maybe not a docker solution, but you could throw pfSense into a VM and do all that from there

I use it (as it’s intended) as my firewall, but I used to use these as general purpose network security VMs in the past (just because I know the product well)

So for you: no firewall rules, just setup DNS with pfBlocker (for the advert blocking) and setup the VPN as required…

Just an idea…

I’d also split #2 further:

2a: Using a domestic DSL router and Synology NAS to run everything 2b: Has a Raspberry Pi (or 6) maybe a 2nd repurposed old PC and possibly an unmanaged switch 2c: Full height 19" rack, UPS, firewalls, managed switches, full virtualisation with SAN, redundancy and 100Gb full fibre internet

I’m somewhere between 2b and 2c

I’ve been here since before dial-up. I knew Janet in the early days 😉

Yeah, I have trail sense installed - but everytime I’m out and about I just can’t work out how to use the myriad functions it has (like how high something is, etc)…

I really ought to RTFM and try to use it properly

Ah, ok, so I can export my OsmAnd paths, import into this and then remind myself of where I went on holiday / almost fell of a cliff / got lost driving / etc ?

I have a bunch of tracks I’ve saved over the years… hmm… maybe this is what I should be using

Hey, the demo is really responsive… impressive!

Is this running on a mega spec server - or are the results comparable to the small VM I’d be wanting to run at home? :)

+1 for Logseq… I’m using it for work as well as personal stuff and it’s strength is automatically creating new pages (and reverse links back) by just typing ‘’ [[that new idea]] ‘’ and you’re done. Fantastic.

And sync with syncthing

This must’ve changed as I’ve shucked WD Elements / Book drives and they were normal drives…

So, you’re saying the actual harddrive has a USB chipset onboard and only a USB interface?

When did this start happening?

Ah, ok… I see. I guess you’ve not filtering on distance then, ok. I see all my neighbours stuff on 1 sensor, so automatically started filtering (and then attempting to tune)

Good point on the negative room sensing, I think I need to start this again… but also ditch the crap module.

Thanks

Noice.

But… how much faffing did you have to do to get the tuning right?

I’ve recently started using this and have 3 different ESP modules and I’m having a hellofatime getting them to show near-enough results, let alone accurate.

1 of them literally has the phone on top of it and it thinks it’s 4m away.

I’ve gone upto absorbtion factor 10 (Spock) with an RSSI adjustment of 6, and that’s passible on 1 device, but not another

So… what’s your secret?

Well written

… searches for “Futa” on company laptop…

I think others have covered the main points, but I found it hard going for 1 device (ie a Ras Pi, VM, etc), but then it was effortless when I wanted to add a 2nd (or more…), so at first pick the sensible uses, then consider ansible for that one-off device a little later…

I like a few specific utils (tmux, nmon, htop) on all my devices: ansible script

I want to update all the Ras Pis in the house: ansible script

You get the picture…

Yeah +1 for LLTV

I think others have generally caught this, but I wanted to simplify the point: the apps on your phone are not controlling your home, a computer is. If you don’t use Google’s, then you’ll need to provide one.

Hmm, I’m in a very similar situation… I think a few people use the calendar in Thunderbird for example, but I don’t use an email client.

What I’ve found that works well enough for me is the calendar in Vivaldi - I can see multiple calendars (ie other family members) Work, etc… so far it’s done me well.

Have a look at Serve The Home

(IMHO - more specifically their youtube channel)

They did a load of reviews “recently” (months ago) and I ended up buying a fanless / passively cooled box with multi-Gb NICs that is serving me well.

This is a great explanation and probably the best one I’ve read… ever?

(Without referring to a 400 page Cisco book)

Nice to know, thanks

Of course, but IMHO it’s worth checking the alternatives first before requesting an “obvious” (but only to me) feature that someone spends hours of their free time working on…

I was orignally hoping that the built-in mute could be scheduled, so that might be a suggestion.

So far DnD appears to be the option for me, now that I’ve thought about it more (after reading these comments) rather than trying to pause ntfy, gotify, etc…
