It is tribal to block an attack like this if you even manage to make much of a impact at all.

A better use of your network would be running a Tor node or snowflake proxy. The biggest fear of Putin is that his people will get free access to information. The pen is far greater than the sword.

What annoys me most is people mindlessly promoting Unifi. Sure it has its advantages but no one wants to talk about disadvantages

You can run OpenWRT on switches without issue. Linux and thus openwrt support hardware switches so Openwrt really just manages the config.

Also I personally really like Truenas as it simplifies management.

OpenWRT?

It isn’t really a vendor but it is Foss. It isn’t as robust as vendor solutions but the advantage is that it will run anywhere.

Are you exposing things to the internet?

Why crowdsec?

Just pickup a used replacement power supply off a site like eBay. Hopefully the rest of the machine is fine but you won’t know until you have working power. The pop you heard was one of the capacitors failing inside your current unit which means it is toast.

Safety note: Under no circumstances should you attempt to use or open up your current power supply. Trash it as it is now a safety hazzard.

Isn’t that harder?

Don’t try to bypass IT controls. That’s a great way to get yourself into a lot of trouble.

Honestly I think it would be cool to see a widespread up network based around Bluetooth and WiFi. They don’t have the same range but the upside is that tons of devices support them.

Check out Proxmox SDN

That’s why I moved to MSSQL

/s

And mariaSQL

This is what I was looking for

Buy two replacements

I would strongly recommend against using AI

Cool but I really don’t see why you wouldn’t use Wayland

I wouldn’t bother with a VPN honestly

Woodpecker CI

Technitium DNS Server is a bit more feature rich but honesty I would just run a DNS filter on your router
