Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Soda machines and Prego are both fairly affordable. 😂

IMO it is THE killer feature, and it’s why Bluesky is going to win this round of the internet wars.

“When she and her husband sold the house last year, they stowed away the proceeds, $282,153.87” Literally the second sentence in the article.

The fact that every other article about his incoming administration is talking about their desire to dismantle the federal government, maybe.

I like your style

That’s exactly what it is. The trolls and bot runners and MAGA chuds are pissed that we can completely prevent them from interacting with us there. And with curated blocklists it doesn’t even require work for the average user.

They can come to bsky but they’ll just be screaming at each other while the rest of us talk about cool stuff.

I sometimes work with lawyers to do discovery for corporate IT. The good news is, this doesn’t really fly in court from what my company’s legal team has told me. So either the evidence was SO bad that this was a better option for them, or they actually did shoot themselves in the foot.

It’s a solution for me. 🤷

He’s right we need laws. He’s wrong that it’s a relief valve or that we take pressure off the heinous privacy violators. We aren’t even a rounding error to them. They don’t care.

This is the way.

You forgot to mention the lobotomy.

That’s new, it didn’t used to do that back in the days when I used it but that was a couple years ago. Sounds like it’s just getting worse.

Are you seriously asking if Google is a privacy threat? I mean…. duh. Anyone who cares about privacy divorced themselves from Google services a long time ago.

And that’s why I still listen to music on my Zune HD instead of my iPhone.

Eh, I’ve forgotten a lot of the details and it’s drama that I don’t care to relearn about. Easy to find online with some basic searching if you want to read about it.

It make network go very good.

Amoral greedy hateful conservatives.

But I repeat myself.

Man, I haven’t seen a reference to that protocol in a very long time.

When I was studying for my first MCSE back in ancient times, my girlfriend heard me mention ‘netbeui’ and thought it was the funniest damn thing. She used to catch me throwing out all the computer jargon and just yell “NET… BOOEEEEEY” at me.

It’s a VM so technically none I guess, but my hypervisor hosts have a 4 port gigabit card and a 10 gig fiber card, plus another gigabit port on the motherboard.

OPNsense is using 6 interfaces, 2 WAN and 4 LAN, but it’s all virtualized.

Yeah I hinted at it but didn’t feel like going into it. It’s why I switched though, and happily I found OPNsense to just be better anyway.

The only one I haven’t seen mentioned here that is a requirement for me is OPNsense. I’ve been using it for a couple years, and pfSense before that for a very long time. Never going back to commercial routers and their shitty / buggy / backdoored software. I highly recommend OPNsense over pfSense for the UI improvements alone, but there are other reasons to use/support OPNsense over pfSense.

On my network it handles internet firewall, internal firewall, and all routing across 5 VLANs and between two internet gateways. It does 1-1 NAT for my public IPs, inbound VPN, outbound VPN for my *arr stack, and RDNS blocklists with the data source being a script I wrote that merges from several sources and deduplicates the list. It is my internal certificate authority (I don’t miss you at all, Windows CA), DHCP for the guest wifi, and does pihole-like ad blocking via DNS for my entire network. And it does all that running in a VM with 2GB of RAM, of which it only uses about 60% on my install.

It is an incredibly powerful tool, not terribly difficult to learn, has a pretty damn good UI for FOSS, and in my opinion is a fantastic foundation for a complex home network / homelab. Unlike pfSense, which corrupted itself twice over the years I ran it, it has never let me down. And every update has been painless over the years.
