I recently bought for my pi5 an actual cooler amd a hat that'll let me connect a m.2. I've hinted at setting up a zulip server and other stuff on it and then serving it over a tailsacale funnel. Time to put actually do it and present it.. So, I guess we've got a topic for August! Tim. I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I am interested in a pihole as well. I also just got an N150 mini pc for things like this. I am particulary interested in doing this with docker images. When I tried to install a docker recursive DNS server that I trust, It needed a Email address, which I did not want to place on my internet email provider. So now I have to install a EMail server for pihole. (recusion sucks).
Another area of interest for me might be the consequences of CGNET (if any) for a DYNDNS setup for a personal home page and similar things. There is a small possibility that I will have fiber available in the next couple of months and the provider apparently uses CGNET.
I use dyndns for my stoffel.org domain, so I have a couple of records in there, two are dynamic DNS which means the router at the remote location will send out updates if the WAN site IP changes. This makes it nice to get home via SSH if need be.
What I'd like to see is a discussion on setting up and using wireguard to access home system(s) or networks from remote locations. I started playing with it, but got bogged down and never made any progress.
I'm using OPNsense as my home firewall. And of course testing remote access is a pain. I've got wireguard on my phone, but haven't made the testing part work quite yet.
