  I got Terminus for the TRMNL set up using Podman on my server running NixOS.

  Although I’m actually planning on replacing Terminus with my own simple server app that way it can be even more declarative (no Postgres database of devices/users/screens) and easier for me to customize. The API I’ll have to implement is extremely straightforward, so I don’t anticipate it taking too long.

  I’m curious what alternative to Pi-hole you set up. (I’m planning on installing Pi-hole soon but wanna hear all my options)

  Take this with a grain of salt since I haven’t done much scraping (yet; I have a project I just started planning)

  I’ve heard you’re more likely to get blocked for using a VPN since some sites will block requests originating from data centers, which is less likely to happen coming from a residential IP address. (Although if you’re already using a VPS, the right proxy may help)

  This might be useless advice, but it might just be best to increase (and randomize) the amount of time between requests.

  And to answer your question, Mullvad is what I use, and it’s what I see reccomended (from both Reddit, and The Wirecutter) the most often because they store so little of your data, and you can even pay in cash.

  I haven’t seen them say anything about their older phones so I would assume this only applies to the new one

  My current setup isn’t available outside my house so I was planning on hosting something like WireGuard. What’s the advantage of Headscale over a more traditional VPN?
