Sure supply chain attacks are a thing, but containers aren’t the issue. Any package delivery mechanism can suffer from it. Its up to you to verify those containers and/or build it yourself

This is the correct answer. There are some occasional docker containers you can use that connect to your VPN for the service you plan to use

The reality is (and this is expected/wanted by the administration) ICE is mostly looking for pro trump/Nazi individuals. They really do not care about most other requirements. And for the most part those individuals will be successful in this as its primarily about fear, annoyance, and revenge

Wow the protestors were correct in their assessment? Who would have known…

lol, what did I just read.

It was a mistake to run Biden in 2020, even if he won. And it was a mistake to try force Hilary on everyone in 2016. But who’s really counting!?

What are those features?

Interesting info. I switched to grapheneos recently, which allows you to disable a lot of that stuff. Combining that with WG, should make a solid way to share

A quick search shows alternatives to keep the functionality: https://github.com/TRaSH-Guides/Guides/blob/master/docs/Plex/Tips/Plex-media-server.md#scan-my-library-automatically

YT video linked in that post. Ultimately just takes a bit of effort to figure most things out IMO.

UI is confusing, but its a good platform to learn. there are a lot of resources for doing typical stuff (dhcp,dns, wireguard, firewall rules, etc.)

Mikrotik makes a few that are rack ready. Not sure about rack size. They are extremely customizable and pretty cheap in the grand scheme. I absolutely love mine. some things I am using it for:

• natively supports Wireguard, allowing me to keep everything private and just wireguard into my home network
• I have set up firewall rules that force all DNS through my pihole, including those pesky LG/google devices that try to bring their own hardcoded DNS servers.
• I have backed up my config to a script and literally trashed a switch a few weeks ago, bought a replacement and was up and running with the same config in <30 minutes of setup.

My one qualm with them, is their warranty service is pretty jank. The devices themselves are generally very good, but having had one die on me after 3 years, I was a little dejected I couldn’t really get it replaced (they do still offer support though). If you need a specific recommendation the RB5009 is really solid for homelab stuff. The one saving grace is the routers are pretty cheap if you know what you need…replacing them (compared to a unifi or something else) is easier? if you’re ok with that

Dunno about plexamp, but Plex has an auto-scan built in. Its disabled by default, but works like a charm. It listens for new file events and general finds things before you complete a download or copy

I agree!

Being pro gun, doesn’t have to mean you’re against sensible gun laws though

This is specifically related to watching their free content. You can opt out of the sale & sharing of said data, which is used to play you targeted ads when watching their free content. I am not a big fan, but this is the typical “free” TV spiel. Was there something that changed recently or is it just being recognized now?
