Pfsense is a lot more feature rich than openWRT, especially when it comes to firewall features. Personally I just use openwrt to run my access points.

I would replace that eero unit with an old dell optiplex with pfsense, and forego trying to virtualize PFSense.

Not sure what hardware is in that eero, but if you wanted to keep it as just a basic AP, that isn’t a bad plan.

After that get a second optiplex for publicly hosted stuff. Keep that on a separate port on your PFSense machine, completely firewalled off from the rest of your network via pfsense, only allowing traffic from LAN to your server.

Physically separating your internal network, and publicly hosted services, as much as possible is the goal.

If you can only afford one new piece of hardware, I’d get the pfsense box, and set it up as a wireguard VPN server, disabling the direct port forwards to the VM running Minecraft. Though your friends would need to install a VPN client, and youd have to provide config files.

A used optiplex on eBay usually isn’t much more money to get up and running than most Linux SoC’s after all the adapters and kit is purchased, and they’re usually specced out way better.

Actually if you wanted to do physical DMZ separation, and wireguard you’d really be doing good, but that’s probably a little paranoid.

You’re adding attack surface by keeping them separated only by vlan. VLAN hopping exploits exist, especially in older firmware, ESPECIALLY on EoL units.

Pfsense is a proper router/firewall built on one of the most hardened networking stacks on the planet. Plus it catches regular software updates, no matter how old your hardware is. You can run it on an old PC with a cheap quad gigabit nic card from eBay if you’d like.

If I might ask, what do you have handling your inter-vlan routing/firewall? Is it the same box you use to handle the firewall/routing between your WAN and LAN?

Is this machine sitting in your LAN, or on its own firewalled off network with a DMZ? No matter how secure it is, you don’t want it on the same network as the machine you do your taxes on.

A good poor mans option is to get a pfsense box with 3 NIC’s. One for WAN, one for LAN, and one for the machine you publicly host with.

Setup firewall rules so that LAN can reach the MC host on needed ports, but not the other way around.

C but with the traps of B.

Also, bows 🥴

Funny clip but still copaganda.

I don’t know what’s weirder, seeing a grown man flip a children’s table over a tantrum, or the fact that he asked to do it first.

Wonder what’d he’d do if they’d said no.

I’d like to think there’s a timeline where musk is both not a chud (within the context of being a billionaire) and also actually developed the catgirls he promised us.

What makes you think its not both?

Also the difference, its not conflating if its an actual issue.

Catholic Priests and Republican Senators are statistically a lot more likely to diddle your kids than a transwoman.

That’s why its conflation when they do it. Because they’re making up an issue to take away front he real ones.

As someone who was born in 99 and remembers how bad the 00s where for queer people? No thanks.

Been reading through the comics. Good shit but also the way they handle queer issues is very 2005…

It’d best read with an understanding of what it was to be queer in the oughts. Also the one trans character is another “bearded dude in a dress” caricature which sucks bad.

That being said, probably one of the few pieces of media that’s willing to show just how black the heart of a fascist really is. No punches held.

Both are neat I just don’t think you’re going to get the average Joe on xmpp nearly as easily as Matrix. That in and of itself is probably the protocols biggest selling point.

I prefer xmpp too, but it looks like she was too good for this world.

I know its got better metadata privacy than matrix but good luck getting normies to use it when getting them on matrix is already like pulling teeth without having to explain shit like protocol extensions.

I honestly think improvements to Matrix are probably the answer at this point.

Whether or not you like who’s been putting money into it, its what has more of a future at this point. Unless you count industrial messaging or some shit.

Who’s Lolo?

But how do we know that you’re as big a pimp as you say you are?

Okay, here’s the situation, it’s pretty hairy…

Wait why Gnu Octave in particular?

There’s no way. There’s no fucking way. That has to be someone’s short film. This is where I draw the line. Its like they said, its a bit straight out of black mirror. I refuse to believe that anyone is trying to sell this. There is no way venture capitalists are this dense.

You know what? Never mind.

Lmao fuck yeah, estrogen time.

Pop sum E baybee!

No that ain’t just monogamy, that’s some cishet shit right there.
