Uh. OpnSense on bare metal can also do snapshots, if you set it up correctly…

It’s called a CB radio. Enjoy.

Very regional.

In areas with high humidity they don’t work all that well

“Alabama Ingenuity” is the phrase I typically use these days.

I dress to avoid indecency charges.

And that’s the fault of whoever uses those hubs. You can use practically any zigbee hub you wish. Zigbee is zigbee.

You didn’t look very hard.

Cheap zigbee stuff exists everywhere. And zigbee is an open standard, so if it works, it will work until the equipment breaks.

The Linux kernel isn’t really much different between any distribution of Linux.

If it works on one, it works on the rest, in like 99% of cases.

The only real exception to that is custom distributions built specifically for a particular device or subset of devices.

In other words, for embedded devices, like phones, routers, TVs and such.

And those aren’t going to be running Ubuntu.

In my own experience, certain things should always be on their own dedicated machines.

My primary router/firewall is on bare metal for this very reason.

I do not want to worry about my home network being completely unusable by the rest of my family because I decided to tweak something on the server.

I could quite easily run OpnSense in a VM, and I do that, too. I run proxmox, and have OpnSense installed and configured to at least provide connectivity for most devices. (Long story short: I have several subnets in my home network, but my VM OpnSense setup does not, as I only had one extra interface on that equipment, so only devices on the primary network would work)

And tbh, that only exists because I did have a router die, and installed OpnSense into my proxmox server temporarily while awaiting new-to-me equipment.

I didn’t see a point in removing it. So it’s there, just not automatically started.

My reasons for keeping OpnSense on bare metal mirror yours. But additionally I don’t want my network to take a crap because my proxmox box goes down.

I constantly am tweaking that machine…

Depends on the face?

If it’s your mom’s? Absolutely.

Probably the same way easy access to it affected my own generation.

Not a damn bit. At least one out of every friend group had a dad with porn magazines and tapes, and they’d get passed around during, and after school.

I was born in 1976.

I just tried to turn my comment into a lisp joke, but realized I don’t really know lisp as well as I used to 35+ years ago, and I’m not going to reteach it to myself for the sake of a joke. Sorry. 🤣😂

works in a literal jail

Of course, the 20 years of trucking before that, has made my butthole very tough.

Wait…

That did not come out right!

Lidarr + last.fm recommended list.

I have a few smart playlists set up that are each various genres of music. It’s not perfect, but it works well enough.

Not sure just how you want me to show it, but this how my music is, on the drive(s)

du -hd1 | grep Music

3.0T ./Music

I have about 85k tracks. :)
