Just got OpenWRT One router. I have never set up a VPN server, but the wireguard API didn’t seem too bad. I’ve never used an API either though. What do you think about OpenWRT running Wireguard, firewall, and reverse proxy (Caddy)? My firewall experience is with nftables and ufw back in the day.

My selfhost plans for now are just nextcloud and Jellyfin.

When you say open 22, do you mean with just password access with multiple users? I recently made mine only allow entry using ssh certs iirc. And then just blocked incoming for the time being. Guess I’ll need to fix that before another git pull request.

I was going to hack my Linksys, but they locked some things for my model in the US apparently, and needed a flash with firmware I couldn’t find.

I just got OpenWRT One. Its a dev router, but hope fully can handle a firewall, VPN server, and maybe a reverse proxy. It’s based off banana pi.

I just want my Linux notes in one place (nextcloud) and synced (syncthing), and Jellyfin. Got a Raspberry Pi 5 with a NVMe hat and 16 GB of RAM for that. Then add more later.

Aren’t all these big tech companies way overexposed to this shit? Like to the point they are overexposed to each other in some sort of star pattern?

Linux has been the best option for 20 years. At least 10 years even for grandmas.

Kill a billionaire for every ICE murder.

No fucking shit.

Agreed. It is great for diagnosing technical issues if you have reasonable expectations and use it cautiously, but I’m grossed out by the graphic and this notion that it’s ready to replace us all before it’s matured enough.

It would only help us here. Everyone buying it or allowing their data to be traced is basically funding pedos and murderers.

I recall an r/antiwork mod best being on the news. He walked dogs too.

Wow. Thanks for the details. I think I’ll check with NM to see what is going on. I use Hyprland so I’ve never used a GUI for it, and didn’t even know there was one. I’ll see if they have one for Arch.

I have not combined nearly enough. Haven’t decided on a VPN yet. I think I might have been using one from kolab or something. Didn’t put it on new phone yet. NextDNS is free for 350 queries. Never had a leak due to limits. Try it and set filters. It’s great.

Honestly, I’m interested to see if it can make it past my security. It’s a good time to try. I might reinstall a new OS due to a pernicious Arch network issue and a DNS leak that connected me to a fucking Google server recently. Taking risk before wiping us better than after installing.

Good points there.

I wonder if all models don’t pair and whatnot bfu. If so, that’s good to know for sure.

What does turning the phone off frequently do? Also, by duress, do you mean anti-tamper destructive functionality? Like wipe info if unapproved authentication methods are used or something?

There is a meshtastic Lemmy community. I think it has limited functionality. Like text only. IIRC it is low frequency, like 900 MHz or something, and is reliable. You have these walkie talkie looking devices, but they don’t do voice that I’m aware of. Also, no issues with needing ham license or any of that. I’d be hard pressed to think there was not a community there that didn’t have nodes set up. I don’t know about security, but it might be under the radar.

There is a meshtastic map, but smaller networks in your community might not register, which is good.

It’s psychopathy. Maybe combined with OCD?

It looks like Konform is a nice choice. Anyone tried it?

Any advice to prevent that? Is it easy to randomize a Mac address through shell command? No need for details, just wondering.

I swear to fuck, I can’t address security issues faster than they can enshittify the whole world.
