  1. Just set up a dedicated IoT hotspot on a Raspberry Pi 4 running OpenWrt, and it works great!

    OpenWrt is perfect for this: clean routing, full control, no bloat. Added AdGuard DNS to block all the unnecessary (and harmful) telemetry these devices keep sending.

    Every home should have one of these 🔒📡

  5. Current mission, recycle, repurpose or recoil! That iMac has a glitchy screen, Logic/MBoard issue? There's maybe a slim chance I could install and run minimal Debian on it for 'something'. Yes, that's a MKI AppleTV you can see. Three laptops and misc hard drives (even an IDE).

  10. You can give your old internet router a fresh start with free software. This free software can make it work better, be safer, and do more things. It's a good way to use your old router for longer.

  11. Explicación sencilla del protocolo #mDNS y como lo implementa @mikrotik en #RouterOS se agradece que las marcas hagan vídeos que no solo vendan productos sino que también incorporen algo de "enseñanza", para mí es un valor añadido youtube.com/watch?si=pbW94FMYB

  12. Anyone within the sound of this post want/need an 8 port gigabit switch? I’ve got 2 Netgear and 1 TP-Link.

    All are 8 port unmanaged switches.

    Cover shipping if not in the #denver area and it/they are yours.

  13. Por lo que leo en #Reddit al parecer #Unifi ha cambiado la descripción de su nuevo Travel Router para aclarar que no es necesario tener una cuenta y que se puede usar como dispositivo independiente a través de #wireguard , esto me parece una buena noticia y lo hace un cacharro mucho más apetecible. La web europea también se ha actualizado #ubiquiti #homenetworking #homenetwork #homelab

  14. Superbox and other “lifetime free TV” Android boxes are not just a piracy headache. Some of them look a lot like quiet botnet nodes and residential proxy endpoints sitting on your living room shelf.

    I broke down how these boxes hijack DNS, join proxy networks, and undermine home and small business networks, plus what to do if you already own one.

  15. Whatch me how I may or may not fail to install network RJ45 Keystone modules in my new appartment.

  16. Still battling Wi-Fi dead zones with your ancient router? This Engadget article breaks down the best mesh Wi-Fi systems of 2025, explaining why Wi-Fi 6E is the sweet spot and why extenders are basically digital snake oil.

    Time to upgrade your home network, or are you still relying on prayers and a strategically placed tin foil hat?

  17. Your ISP isn't the only bottleneck, apparently. 🕵️ CNET says your modem and router are secretly judging your 'gigabit' plan. Time to upgrade? What's the one piece of tech you splurged on that *actually* made a difference to your home network?

  18. #OpenWRT on a #Fritzbox is kinda pain since there are so many things i could technically do if the fritzbox had more powerful hardware. Can't wait to build my own router.

    A #Fujitsu #Thinclient S920 would be a perfect fit and is also cheap as hell.

    More powerful hardware would allow me to take advantage of #tor #routing, local #tailscale resolving, #adblocking and much more. Maybe even some #docker #containers like #caddy.

    #OpenWRT is a real #gamechanger for my #homenetwork.

  19. I came across the #Fail2Ban #docker image from #linuxserverio and thought to myself that it's finally time to set up Fail2Ban. I admit i never used it before and it was a bit difficult to add it to my #playbook as all of my #servers have different services and therefore different #logfile paths, but that's nothing #jinja #templating can't fix.

    Now that i've got #Discord notifications for banned #IPs, it's time to work on actual #IPblocking. I also want to use the #IPComplaint and #AbuseIPDB actions as i really like the idea of reporting abuse (even though i have no idea how effective that may be).

    I may also want to replace the discord #webhook with #email notifications later as that's mostly the reason i've set up a #mailserver ( #stalwart ) in the first place.

    I mean, most of my services are only accessible from #tailscale or my #homenetwork, but since #Ansible makes it so much easier to apply higher standards, i just can't resist. My #homelab is changing every day and i think setting up additional #security, even though i don't need it yet, is never a bad idea.

  20. Well, I decided my #home #wifi #network could use a little update; just to get #cat6 running to all the #ethernet ports in the #house.

    Despite having run my own #routers in the past (#DDWRT and #pfsense) I'm going to give #TPLink another shot.

    Went with a #wifi7 model just to future proof a little.

  21. I need quick feedback. I'm looking for a (managed?) 8-10 port network switch. Should I go with TP-Link or Netgear? Or is there some brand I'm not aware of? Must be available in Germany ideally on Amazon Germany with Prime as I "need" it tomorrow.

    I'm currently considering this one: amzn.to/3SvUFlM
