Does anyone know if firewalls like OPNSense can do IPS for ads and tracking instead of “normal” intrusions like malware?

How would that be different from other countries? Would there be too many cultural similarities?

Hetzner storage boxes look really compelling. Thanks for sharing!

Cloudflare tunnels definitely aren’t wrong, you’re just not entirely using open source software. It’s a very good option if you need to open things to the public or want to learn more about cloud services

You can selfhosted tailscale so that they don’t have any access. You can’t with cloudflare tunnels as far as I know. Tailscale’s client is open source, so is their Headscale server which originally was developed by a 3rd party. You can look into the code for that. Not sure what you’d want me to say. If you really want to be informed I’d inspect the code yourself

Tailscale shouldn’t be getting your data anyway. It’s a mesh VPN that directly connects devices after their auth server gives out certs and let’s clients know where to find another. If you’re not comfortable with using their server for this I’d suggest you look into the open source headscale server. I do remember it routing through their server in the rare case NAT punching doesn’t work

A pipe would be: cat /dev/random | tee /dev/null

Personally I use tailscale which should punch through double NAT. It’s a wire guard based mesh VPN, but an exit node should make it a normal VPN

I ran my 1060 just fine for a few year. Nvidia has an official, but proprietary driver that might not run well on some distro’s. Personally I haven’t had any issues, though it would be better to stick with xorg and not wayland. Wayland support on nvidia I’ve heard isn’t great, but it does work

My bank app works fine with rooting last I checked. These days I just run a custom rom with gapps. The thing is that nothing Google and Microsoft do will matter in this case as there will always be websites that don’t use it. Especially when talking about Piracy and websites running on tor or i2p. Even if illegal, new options will show up

I wish regulators good luck trying to regulate bittorrent and other peer to peer software. Not to even talk about what can be found with just installing the tor browser

You can use headscale with tailscale if you want to self host it. Headscale is a community made server implementation for tailscale

I run wiki.js for documentation for my home lab, but also things like the custom rom setup for my phone. However it’s hard to keep it up to date as I forget it exists. I mostly use it to document setting up windows server core with different roles as I don’t need to do that often, but most tutorials on the web are SEO optimised with low quality

This video from thiojoe is probably relevant here. It is mostly for scam websites, but maybe it’s useful for this too? At least gives you some platforms to contact
