RouterOS has WG built in as well as ZeroTier. RouterOS has become quite powerful lately, but make sure you have at least an ARM/ARM64 CPU for it.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 weeks ago:
All of my remote routers are running RouterOS without anything on top of it. RouterOS is powerful enough for anything I throw on it. But I am using much beefier routers, I have 2 x 5009 and a HAP AX3 which have plenty of flash and ram ro run the additional packages I need.
As for normal computers, I have it on a UPS and I backup core files to off-site areas. Additionally, I buy SSDs that have a little bit of powerloss protection.
I’ve never had issues with mini PCs but I’ve had issues with PIs. I’ve since switched to high endurance SD cards for my Pis and they’ve been rock solid. One’s actually semi exposed to the elements for about a year now without a hiccup.
With RouterOS you can still use DoH with either a self hosted list or a selected ad list. If you want to selfhost a DNS server I’d just host a Adguard Home instance on a VPS for all of your devices.
I also have 2 VPN system for my remote management on 2 separate systems. I learned that the hard way when one of my clients is 8 timezones away.

My ISP blocks all outgoing ports. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough but anything I try port forwarding ends up getting blocked.
Minecraft and port 80 are the 2 I’ve tried and they’ve been unresponsive
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 3 weeks ago:
I travel on the go often, wireless charging is too inefficient for me. I’d rather charge with my PD battery pack.
Another point, I use my PD pack to charge everything from my phone, drone, camera, to my laptop, ear buds.
Most of those don’t have a wireless charger so I just stick to wired PD charging.

I’m using the rb5009 but im using RouterOS not openwrt. Any reason why you’d want to do that?
I personally think if you’re buying a purpose built hardware and then putting your own software on it, you should move to a mini computer with OpnSense.

I’m switching my immich instance to an SSD one and switching my VPN from zerotier to tailscale.
Hopefully that means my Immich will be a little more reactive.

No with the latest ISO from windows 24H2 I believe

You can still skip it with MicroWin and also Rufus. I’ve tested it just recently.
- Comment on Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow? 3 weeks ago:
Strangely enough I’ve had the opposite.
My pcie 4.0x4 drive was giving me about 200MB/s on windows and when I plugged it into a Linux machine, full drive speed.
- Comment on Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow? 3 weeks ago:
Not cheap, but I just use cheap 256gb sata M.2 drives and a tool less enclosure.
Runs at sata speeds and are cheap. Plus the enclosure supports NVMe so I could run around with a 8TB stick.

Number 3. I already did two degrees with it.

- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 1 month ago:
Enterprise NVMe drives have some active cooling, but it’s mostly due to high density

- Comment on I just learned how to do a reverse proxy! 2 months ago:
Really depends what you want to do first. After you figure that out, the reverse proxy is arguably the easiest part when using Caddy.

- Comment on Project MINI RACK - a 10" Homelab Revolution! 2 months ago:
That’s kinda my issue as well. I have a core 24 port L3 switch that’s multigig POE and a 3 disk NAS.
The NAS I could technically downsize with a little bit of tinkering and money.
The switch will be hard to miniaturize.
Thankfully my router is already 1/2U and 1/2 width so that’s easy to migrate.

Just increase the density of neutrons by 0.1%.
The universe will probably cease to exist.

Every year? The only person I know within my immediate vicinity has phones ranging from 2019 2022.
Also something you use probably 3-5 hours a day vs something you might use only a few hours a week isn’t immediately comparable.
A modern day necessity vs a relatively niche item.
