Wow that sounds terrible... Especially with encouraging employers to increase birth rates, a lot of sexual assault/harassment is going to be swept under the rug.

Both opnsense and pfsense allow custom DNS entries so you still have that as an option. Probably the other options do too but you'll just have to verify.

But if you want to keep it simple I would just keep the pihole as a separate device. A lot of the built in options aernt quite as easy to setup and don't have the best UI compared to pihole IMO.

Most of the more advanced gateways have some sort of DNS filtering built in. Opnsense has an adguard plugin, pfsense has pfblocker-ng, openwrt has a few different options, Unifi and mikrotik both have solutions too I think. Usually you can just load the same block list that pihole uses into the filtering software and you are good to go.

If you want the most flexibility and want to use the same hardware for both gateway/DNS and want to try out different DNS/router solutions a hypervisor would give you the most options. But it would also be the most complicated.

I've been in the closed beta since February and I can vouch for this game being awesome. It's been a great way to encourage me to take my dogs on walks and stay healthy. I definitely recommend checking it out.

To the dev, your game has motivated me to learn flutter/dart. I've been working with it for four months now and I'm getting close to finishing my first app, so thank you for the inspiration!

The book "I will teach you to be rich" has a great overview of how to best leverage credit cards, high yield savings accounts, setting up automatic investments, saving, and lots of other 'good to know' topics about money.

For investing specifically I use the Boglehead method.

Another solution is to use NAT on the router. NAT all traffic from the client network 11.0/24 to the routers IP on the server network 10.0/24.

That way when the server sees the ICMP echoes on its 10.102 network it will look like it came from the router and send the reply back together router instead out its other interface.

Are you sure you are typing the address in correctly on android/ios? 198.162.x.x isnt part of private IP space.

If you're looking for a more mature networking setup, I would definitely recommend splitting up your router, switch and AP duties into separate devices. It gives you the most flexibility for when you want to tinker or change things.

For a main router setup, I would recommend OpnSense. It's has a cloud backup feature which allows you to automatically backup the configuration to a Google Drive xml file whenever it is changed.

The XML config file stores all your leases so you don't have to worry about reassigning DHCP reservations. If you load the config onto a new system, like for an upgrade or if the router hardware fails, usually you just have to change the interface mappings and you're good to go.

As far as APs/switches, I would recommend Unifi or Mikrotik. Unifi has a fancy dashboard you can use to adopt new equipment and restore/change configs from, but I find Mikrotik easier and simpler to backup and I like that i dont have to host a controller to make config changes.

Only in the last few years have I realized how much stuff he has been in or worked on in a short amount of time. I hope he is enjoying life out of the big spotlight.

For those who don't know much about him, I recommend watching the movie Revolution OS. It does a good job showing what he was working towards.

The official framework mainboard 3d printed case uses a compliant mechanism to push the power button, you can take at look at the open source STL files to see how they designed it for inspiration/reference.

I do something similar with opnsense and policy based routing. opnsense is acting as both a VPN client and server. The client interface connects out to a commercial VPN, and the server interface listens for incoming connections. Based on what I I want to accomplish I setup firewall rules that use policy based routing to route incoming VPN traffic where it needs to go.

Regarding split tunnel on the client, the Android wireguard app has the option to specify what traffic uses the tunnel based on the application

That's a shame, their main webpage says it runs on macos.

It looks like wonderdraft has that functionality. Tutorial.

Its a one time purchase as well.

I really enjoy reading in my hammock. Usually I set it up in my backyard but it's also easy to take to a park or on a hike. I just use one of those camping ones that packs away to the size of a nalgene water bottle.

Sidenote, I also use one of these security straps on my e-reader. It allows me to read laying down in the hammock or in bed without having to completely hold onto my reader. Definitely recommend.

I just started tears of the kingdom a few days ago.

I've had my fw 13 since early Feb 2022. So far, I've replaced the hinges and upgraded to a new mainboard. (11th gen i5 to 12 gen i7 when it became my main PC).

I've redone the thermal paste on the 12th gen 2 times already to clean the fan out and have not had any problems opening things up. I open it up so often to tinker that the pull loop on the keyboard cable finally broke on me a few weeks ago.

My old mainboard is currently running my entire homlab. Opnsense, pihole, Plex, Kavita, audiobookshelf, foundry vtt, *arrs, unifi controller. I threw it into a 3d printed case and its been running fine without any issues.

I thought about upgrading to the fw16, but it's too expensive for me to justify it. If I want to game I just plug into my eGPU. I don't need my gaming system to be ultra portable.

I'll probably upgrade again when they release a new ryzen mainboard that has USB 4 2.0 support so I can take advantage of the additional pcie bandwidth for my GPU.

I would reccomend the fw13 to anyone who is into customizing PCs or is passionate about repairability in the electronics they own.

Is the NIC built into the motherboard or an add on pcie card?

You could check the journal to see if the logs tell you anything.

Aptera is doing this with custom solar cells and they claim it'll provide up to 40 miles of range per day. https://aptera.us/

This is how I would do it also, assuming you aernt passing the NICs through to VMs

Once you change your DNS server in your router, make sure to renew your clients DHCP lease. It may still be using the stale DNS server. On windows verify its using the new DNS server with: ipconfig /all

Can you ping the server from your phone successfully? You can use an app like this to check: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.he.networktools

Making sure you have layer 3 connectivity first would be a good first step. If you don't, I would start by troubleshooting at layer 2. Run a packet capture on both your phone and server while trying to connect to determine where the disconnect is. Make sure ARP is resolving properly.

If layer 3 IS working, move up to layer 4 and make sure you are using the correct port, http vs https, etc

LocalSend, a cross platform alternative to airdrop and nearby share.

My family uses it for almost all of our filesharing. IPhone to android, iPhone to windows PC, android to macbook, etc. Its works really, really well.

No issues jumping straight from 37 server edition to 40.

This website has a bunch of great practice "wargames". You'll learn a bunch about common linux commands and the different options for them. It also provides you with some great tips on what to google if you get stuck. I reccomend starting with bandit.

+1 for openscad. I switched over from Fusion 360 back when autodesk changed the personal use license in 2020.

It takes a bit to get used to it, but once you've made a few parts you begin to see how powerful it can really be.

Its also super lightweight, so you can run it on most systems without any issues. I've ran in on a chromebook before.

The only thing I miss about fusion 360 is an easy way to add fillets to parts, that can be tricky in openscad. I use chamfers for the most part though, so I don't miss it much.

The Culture series by Iain M Banks has an interesting spin on a utopian society.

Whenever I've pushed through and attempted to finish a book that I do not enjoy, I end up shelving reading as a hobby for a long period of time.

So I decided to just stop trying and if I don't enjoy them, I stop. There are too many good books to read out there for me to try to force feed one to myself.

I get quite a few reccomend actions from the sci-fi/fantasy rss feeds I'm subscribed to. I also get some from suggestions on lemmy.

If you use Firefox, the reader view works great when you want to look at just the article and nothing else.

I like Language Transfer. It's free and you can download the episodes for offline listening.

I do this same thing. I have Ubuntu on an external ssd with its own EFI partition. I followed this guide to get it setup and it works great.

A custom router + managed switch is a great way to learn. Studying the fundamentals is also good, but in my opinion it's not as fun as setting up your own network and learning hands-on.

If you decide to go this route I highly reccomend taking regular backups of your config (and backup again before you change stuff). Part of learning involves breaking things - trust me you will break your network - and in networking that's one of the best ways to learn. Backups will give you an easy way to restore to a known working configuration.

I use fitnotes for workout tracking. Nice and simple and very customizable. You can also export all your workouts as CSVs if you want to import it into another program.
