• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Network training

    Not sure about quick. If you're willing to put in a little time, many community colleges offer courses. Many are Cisco-created and sponsored CCNA. Decent chance the teacher is knowledgeable (most of the ones I had were teaching as a side from their normal networking-based jobs). There should be...

    Cheaper service than T-Mobile?

    The hotspot throttling Visible does irks me. AFAICT most of the MVNOs don't do this, especially for their unlimited plans. (edit: missing word.)

    Do you use Light mode or Dark mode?

    Same. It's nice not having the screen blast a bunch of light at my eyes, especially at night. Though there are some pages that personally don't work as well in dark mode, e.g., maps.

    Cheaper service than T-Mobile?

    Not meaning to hawk too hard for them, but the US Mobile By-The-Gig plan is $35 for 20 GB shared plus $8 per additional line after the first. I'd guess other pre-paid providers are similar.

    Cheaper service than T-Mobile?

    I've been using US Mobile for a bit now. No issues. I don't use much data away from WiFi, so I'm just on the basic $10/mo. plan for a single line. They offer all three major US networks (I use Verizon's through them) and you can easily switch without changing plans (though there might be a small...

    Hardware recommendation for pfSense install

    What's the environment, # of clients, bandwidth to support, etc.? WAG based on your existing system, it looks to me that this is for a typical home install. I'd say most anything based around a N100/300 CPU with 2+ NICs will work fine.

    What is your go to DNS that is not Google's 8.8.8.8/4.4.4.4

    I've been looking at Technitium as well. Have it installed, and it looks interesting. It's not quite as straight-forward for ad-blocking as Pi-Hole is, but I believe it could replace both Pi-Hole and Unbound. But there are at least a half-dozen things I want to get done first.

    What is your go to DNS that is not Google's 8.8.8.8/4.4.4.4

    Not using OpenWRT myself. so afraid I can't answer that from personal experience. A DDG search pulls up a a few pages. Also maybe look into DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), which does the same thing just implemented a bit differently. My setup is just Pi-Hole+Unbound running in their own containers.

    Cachy OS April

    /etc/udev/rules.d exists to override entries in /lib/udev/rules.d. If the required rule already exists in the latter, there's no need for it in the former. Generally, only place something in /etc/udev/rules.d if you need to override the system default. The release notes state that the change...

    Cachy OS April

    Any file in /etc/udev/rules.d overrides a like-named one in /lib/udev/rules.d. This is a common systemd pattern. So if /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ioschedulers.rules does not exist just create it and it'll accomplish what's needed. https://man.archlinux.org/man/udev.7#RULES_FILES edit: typo

    Anyone have ideas where to buy NAS Drives?

    There's also ServerPartDeals. I've no first-hand experience with either outfit, but both seem to be reputable from what I've gathered. And don't feel too bad about losing one drive out of twenty. Of the seven new HDDs I've bought since black Friday one has already died.
