I’ve configured my kids devices to use NextDNS, that way they are getting filtering no matter what network they use.

AdGuard does what I need internally, it’s just external is the issue. VPN’s are not a solution, my kids are old enough to know they can just disable it to work around it. They don’t know about the Private DNS option that I have configured on their devices… Yet

Jellyfin Plex (I wanted to get rid of it but I found my son’s TV has no Jellyfin client available so I have to keep Plex up for him) Nginx Caddy Ddclient to Cloudflare for my home dynamic IP Syncthing (such an underrated app) Wireguard HomeAssistant Some other stuff that isn’t all that interesting

This is what I do. Registered with Porkbun but have two domains pointing to Cloudflare NS’s for DNS. I then have a container locally that looks for IP changes on my home connection and if detected updates DNS to the new IP.

I’m not American

Never buy a Pixel at full price. They drop or go on offer after a few months. At least from what I have seen in the UK. Carriers often do good deals too. It may take a few months but buying on or near to release you’ll pay a premium.

I normally get a Pixel on contract or I’ll buy it outright if it’s on offer. The Pixel does tend to go on offer way more than an iPhone.

I use defaults but also check the two cookie filter lists.

3D World is one of my favourites. Really chilled game. Apart from Champions Road. Fuck that level!

I’ve always been like this. Sadly my wife finds controversy at every turn and I get dragged in.

I did it a week ago and it was just a case of passing through the video card. I came across a lot of guides and they were all in the CLI. I assume things have improved or maybe it differs per card. I was just using onboard graphics from an N100 CPU.

Thanks! I didn’t know about this. I never use audiobooks. Just changed my family plan. £2 is £2!

Wireguard works out of the box for me. I use a docker image.

I’ve ran multiple containers on a Pi 3 before “upgrading” to a Pi 4. Yes not even a Pi 5. Sure it’s not rapid and drags it’s heels at times but for the most part it’s great for hosting stuff for my household.

Home assistant, Plex, Syncthing, Wireguard, Ad Guard, nginx, nginx proxy manager, duckdns, mongodb and unifi network appliance. I was also running Jellyfin along side Plex but it keeps causing the Pi to lock up.

I said I wish I hadn’t purchased the PS5 due to the poor library of games in comparison to the PS4 era on Reddit. Proceeded to get downvotes.

This is correct

Since January 2024 and version 24.2.0, LibreOffice use calendar-based release numbering scheme

But he’s not using it in a domain environment.

My kids plays Roblox, it doesn’t run as well as it does bare metal

I ran Linux in VirtualBox for years but it’s just not the same as running from bare metal. The step to bare metal is the key to actually starting to make the move to Linux for me

Get a second drive and install Linux on it. You can then flick between the two on boot. I’ve done this and now booting into Arch more than Windows. I’ll still boot into Windows for reasons but Arch is my main OS now.
