Nice. Thanks 👍

Interesting. I’ve been using “.home.arpa” for a while now, since that’s one of the other often used ways.

Yeah. I’ve no need to change to anything else. pf/OPNsense 4life.

That’s how I’ve got mine set up, with OPNsense.

I’ve been using it a few years and I only know about half the stuff that pfSense/OPNsense can do. So I would advise newbies to just make small changes at a time because there’s a whole lot of stuff you can change. It’s worth learning, though. I wouldn’t use anything else for my main firewall/router nowadays.

PfSense and OPNsense are both killer router “out of the box” distros built on BSD. I say this as a Linux user, with little interest in running BSD for my applications, but… Respect to BSD. ✊

ZFS kicks arse. It’s worth learning enough to get a basic array going, with a couple of datasets and encryption. Once you get acquainted with that, you’ll be using it for years to come.

It happens in the UK too.

Use an old Pi 3B for running zigbee2mqtt on docker.

I used to run just the Linux version of it but decided to install docker on the Pi so it’s as easy as doing docker-compose pull to update it.

This is so I can control my various lights and switches using Home Assistant.

Heh. Maybe he’s doing high-end closeting.
