Hi,

I’m based in mexico, which ISP company is and what are your goals with the networking? just to replace? there are only a few companies that are on fiber and some with coaxial, mostly they are ONT in case with fiber some are under cgnat. the coaxial companies do the same.

this looks great hopefully we can have the widget for Homepage dashboard!

check dnsleaktest website and see which servers are returning, if your dns is google or is your isp dns you will know there.

if you want more privacy replace your dns servers with cloudflare o quad9, if you want more privacy maybe consider upgrade to DNS over TLS (DOT) or HTTPS over DNS (DOH).

You can do this with a dns filtering server like AdguardHome or Pihole. While you block ads and telemetry in your network.

and if you even want to level up consider selfhost your own recursive dns server with unbound + AdguardHome or Pihole.

the are some models from the GL-INET travel routers that have usb 3.0 and sd cards slots for sharing, you can turn on the mini nas feature for traveling.

if you are more like DIY you can get a small raspberry pi with a external driver for sharing.

hi, i started another laptop a dell xps with core duo cpu and just 4gb ram. I don’t have any spare ssd for that so I used a 500GB black Western Digital.

The battery is removable.

so far is running dietpi (debian) server and running some docker containers, including a metube to download videos/music from YouTube.

cpu performance is awesome. I wish to have a moderm i7 but I’m okay.

but also added navidrome for music streaming and works fantastic. Also added wireguard server via PiVPN and mostly I’ll be using this to sharp some linux, docker, ansible, and dev skills.

is not 24 hrs but mostly is a lab. doesn’t have kvm or vm instructions so not sure it can handle proxmox but ram is limited.

but has more cpu/86 than my raspberry pi. but consume more power.

thank you for sharing!

thank you for sharing,

although I don’t have my Promox server (dell thin client i5) died a month a go. I would do VM or LXC container. My local VPS is just an old laptop core duo 2 and raspberry pi 2 and doing the snapshots would be easier but I’m stuck at the moment with those options.

thank you for sharing your workflow although may be a bit advance for me I see where is going. I work with sysadmin areas, but I’m really interested into devops and cloud engineering for AWS. But someone invite me to join a dev team for a js, React and postgress DB project.

So I’m starting to learn Js. So I wanted to have some insights in how to approach this. thank you
