Grapheneos with a dedicated profile with those China apps. Dont allow the profile to run in the background. Then just use tor with snowflake or one of the many methods of tor to bypass the firewall of China.

If you are afraid of being ddosed which is very unlikely. Cloudflare has free ddos protection. You can put some but not all things behind their proxy.

Also instead of making things publicly available look in to using a VPN. Wireguard with “wireguard easy” makes this very simple.

VLANs do not make you network magically more secure. But when setup correctly can increase security a load if something has already penetrated the network. But also just to streamline a network and allow or deny some parts of the network.

PXE boot? It must be enable in the bios already. Then you could prep a image and deploy it that way.

I mean you got a point 😁

Very cool as a concept but not realistic for longevity. Parts deform over time. Also heat is a mature issue.

Use I2P guys. The more the better. It is Foss and is 100 times better then any VPN. It is only a bit slower sometimes.

If you mainly use containers perhaps OpenSUSE Micro OS is of interest to you. Other then that pretty much any distro will do. I use rocky Linux my self for a few different things.

If you want to try out many different distros virtualization is also a option. KVM or something like XCP-NG with XO or proxmox are great options.

a small PC with kodi can do this. It can do much more as well.

it depends which device you get. Some routers are much better then others at routing. i think you want to look at the CCR series.

I made a account last time lemmy.wold blocked this community. Seems like il be sticking with this account for now

I know some are their. But the more high end once are not. Also many of them are very outdated or OBD 1 and not OBD II
