The reality is (and this is expected/wanted by the administration) ICE is mostly looking for pro trump/Nazi individuals. They really do not care about most other requirements. And for the most part those individuals will be successful in this as its primarily about fear, annoyance, and revenge
They will likely dump the crops in the ocean to keep prices stable like they do with many other surpluses. One of the worst things about capitalism, instead of trying to feed the poor or do something useful with it
Interesting info. I switched to grapheneos recently, which allows you to disable a lot of that stuff. Combining that with WG, should make a solid way to share
Mikrotik makes a few that are rack ready. Not sure about rack size. They are extremely customizable and pretty cheap in the grand scheme. I absolutely love mine. some things I am using it for:
natively supports Wireguard, allowing me to keep everything private and just wireguard into my home network
I have set up firewall rules that force all DNS through my pihole, including those pesky LG/google devices that try to bring their own hardcoded DNS servers.
I have backed up my config to a script and literally trashed a switch a few weeks ago, bought a replacement and was up and running with the same config in <30 minutes of setup.
My one qualm with them, is their warranty service is pretty jank. The devices themselves are generally very good, but having had one die on me after 3 years, I was a little dejected I couldn't really get it replaced (they do still offer support though). If you need a specific recommendation the RB5009 is really solid for homelab stuff. The one saving grace is the routers are pretty cheap if you know what you need...replacing them (compared to a unifi or something else) is easier? if you're ok with that
Dunno about plexamp, but Plex has an auto-scan built in. Its disabled by default, but works like a charm. It listens for new file events and general finds things before you complete a download or copy
I save it my password manager and can pull it on other devices. Still annoying, but not the worst. Honestly the worst is passwords with a character limit, and even worse when it's "small" like 16
This is specifically related to watching their free content. You can opt out of the sale & sharing of said data, which is used to play you targeted ads when watching their free content. I am not a big fan, but this is the typical "free" TV spiel. Was there something that changed recently or is it just being recognized now?
This is the correct answer. There are some occasional docker containers you can use that connect to your VPN for the service you plan to use
