With regards to safeguarding your data: email is the most vunerable and I would protect from spy eyes. Yet you are saying: pay $ and leave your all emails in someone's hands - lack of logic here. First: landing on SPAM list is kind of easy to prevent. Second: you can always use smtp relay to sort out the port 25 being blocked. Second: we are free people and we can choose what we want. Some choices are based on education, some are based on blabla. Some on the apps you decided to abandon: your decision seems to be based on blabla, i.e. NPM but for sure TrueNAS and Pi-hole. But that is your choice ofc.

What ad-blocking mod are you using in OpenWRT that replaced pi-hole?

Ty for the video. Barrier is discontinued. Input leap is the fork of it I think.

Thanks for this video. Sometimes OSS just sucks, as a dev it inspires me to build better alternatives

Hi, greetings frrom Croatia, long time subscriber of yours. I realy do like your content here. So i have a bit of an odd request. I do maintainn my servers as a sysadmin and i have bunc of them. I used PortX, but they god discontinued. Why i used this software because of two features. First being sync you all connections with ports and keys between multiple os using google drive, second was select and copy autamaticaly. Second was not so dramatic but i am looking for replacement terminal with built in sync of multiple connections because i manage lot of them. Do you have some suggestions?

I switched from Pi hole to AdGuard over a year ago. It’s been solid for me.

Zulip or nextcloud talk for family chat? I noticed you used talk with your family.

PBX = Private Branch Exchange. Normally used as an internal phone system for a business (employees have an "extension" number and can call each other) which also is the interface through to the PoTS (= Plain Old Telephone System AKA public telephone network).
