Ah it’s fine, we know they’ll be totally fine on their own. I mean, they have their own totally reliable, independent electric grid, right?

Ran into a similar conundrum. We use mealie for recipe management and occasionally meal planning, but the shopping list is clunky. We resorted to just making a list on a card in Planks. Not purpose-built, but it has worked rather well for us.

Potentially, but precision is important, especially if you’re going to make sweeping claims about a topic, acting as an authority.

This is absolutely not what DNSSEC is. DNSSEC provides authenticity of the response, not privacy. You’re describing a means of encrypted name resolution, like dns-over-tls, dns-over-https, etc.

I haven’t done a code review so I can’t answer that question with facts. I do think however, that anything that bootstraps a FLOSS framework like openwrt could easily be a risk to privacy.

You use privacy and security interchangeably here. They are not the same.

If you have any question on truth worthiness, you can flash stock openwrt on them. You just lose out on their proprietary webUI and pre installed plugins. I believe their firmware is public on GitHub though.

Yeah, put that trash in prison!

That all sounds correct to me. The random port you’re seeing in the logs is a high port, often referred to as an ephemeral port, and it is common for source ports. All good there.

Agreed. SMD components fail silently.

This is pedantic, but there are indeed capacitors there. They’re all surface mount components, so they don’t look like the caps that people typically talk about replacing, and they likely aren’t what caused it to fail. Anything labeled on the board with a C## is likely a SMD capacitor.

His teeth caught my eye first. Smile and count how many teeth you can see. Now double that and this guy’s still got you beat.

That sort of configuration after the fact would be a fantastic addition, if not already in place.

You don’t need haproxy on the vps at all, unless I’m misunderstanding you. Just route the traffic using iptables hooks in your wireguard config. This is exactly how I manage my email server and it’s entirely transparent.
