I used the IP + MAC address of the devices I want to block.

Thank you.
To your point, one example that comes to mind is that I have read many people complaining about cloudflare, saying it’s “evil” and over extending. While I agree on the aspect of Cloudflare being sort of a monopoly, I am not sure what else to use to route some of my traffic to my services running at home without explicitly opening up ports to the internet by using a reverse proxy for example.
In that regard, Cloudflare has access to my traffic and data could theoretically leak that way, but I am not sure what is a safer and better alternative to it.
I ordered it yesterday 😂
Thanks for the suggestion though. I really appreciate it.
I would be more than glad to connect and learn from more experienced people. DM is fine or do you prefer something else?
Aside from iOS, I am already there. Soon enough, I hope, I will migrate from Apple’s ecosystem. Already have my Linux box setup and functional recently. One step at a time.
Not taking it to the extreme here, being more realistic with what can be done in today’s society.
Can’t really move to the woods and be cut off from the internet, sadly enough that’s not something we can do nowadays.
To navigate to the previous folder
cd -
To reissue the previous command with a prefix. For example:
cat /root/.ssh/authorized_keys # Will fail without privilege
sudo !!
To use the argument of the previous command. For example:
tac ~/.ssh/authorized_keys # oops, misspelled cat
cat !$

Best privacy preserving measures
Considering the current intrusive cyber climate, what are the best ways to preserve privacy?
For example, I have been exclusively using a VPN connection network-wide at home setup on OpenWrt, which in turn has a PiHole as its DNS, with the PiHole using Unbound and NextDNS (redundant I know, but I use it to encrypt my requests more than anything else).
I also have Wireguard setup so I can VPN all my devices to my network while I am on the road (also have a NextDNS profile installed. Yes I know, it’s redundant).
I also basically have all my “smart” devices (TV, lightbulbs, air purifier, etc…) at home cutoff from the internet using OpenWrt’s firewall to prevent them from calling home.
I rotate web browsers frequently to try and attempt avoiding getting fingerprinted, not sure how useful that is.
I switched email providers to mailbox.org because f*** Google and Microsoft.
I also am hosting my own cloud drive on Nextcloud to avoid using services like GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc…

Abra cadabra, you are now a sandwich.
I’ll show myself out.
Looks really good I might steal it for my setup
Yes officer, this right here.
Not headless last I tried, unless that changed recently.
Still waiting on reliable headless KDE wayland remote sessions to make the jump to Plasma.
$120 for three lines with unlimited 5G internet + calls/texts (slower speeds after 50GB but still pretty fast). Also free roaming and calls/texts/internet while in Canada and Mexico.
Definitely not the best, but also not the worst.
And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis?
Curious as to what you are getting. Was planning to buy my Synology build some time later this year but not so sure about that anymore.
Best approach to prepare for impending recession and economic doom of the USA
I don’t have much in terms of investments (401K). I was wondering if there is anything I can do to minimize the impact of the incoming recession on my financial position.
1- What do I do with my 401K? Do I keep it in the same funds or should I look into reinvesting it in different funds? 2- Should I keep an eye out for “the dip” and buy in? What? Market funds? Bond funds? ETF? 3- In terms of stocking up, what’s the best approach? Bottled water obviously, but what else? 4- I am almost done paying off my credit cards. However, I bought a new car last year. Other than looking into refinancing to a lower APR, is there anything else I can do?
Until last year, I never thought much about how to survive the many “once in a lifetime“ shitshows we are seeing and usually rolled with the punches because I mainly didn’t have the financial means to do so.
Now that I am somewhat financially capable –a privilege not many of my fellow countrymen have unfortunately– I want to try and minimize the dam
I remember when they sold for $0.98 at Aldi 🥲

Not sure why either, but life goes on ¯(ツ)_/¯
