  Yeah, the tinkering is part of the fun. Right now I’m still perfecting my OMV NAS/Homelab but after that I might look into custom routers. I’m still hoping to get fibre in the foreseeable future, but right now it’s not looking too good in my area…

  That’s the problem with my router… I can’t. I’ve seen it done with OpenWRT but I chose the wrong model for that…

  I wanted to do that as well, but I can’t redirect outgoing traffic on my router, just block it entirely. Sadly it was the only device of that series not supporting OpenWRT (sigh)… Next one will either have to support that or be a DIY project… Have been starting to self host my stuff already and I’m not planning to stop there!

  Doesn’t help if the device has a baked in DNS address and just ignores your settings tho. Amazon and Google devices seem prone to that. After blocking everything on the common DNS ports except the PiHole, some of my devices have been acting kinda sluggish.

  I use Syncthing to automatically keep the database up to date and usable on all of my devices. Autotype on PC (my main device) is such a nice feature I wouldn’t want to miss (and it increases security on top of that).

  And of course they won’t compete over which service provides the better app\features\catalogue but will try the same exclusivity game the video streaming platforms started… No thanks!

  And then everything comes in separate packages with different parcel services anyway… Amazon really has become shit.
