One excellent way to waste an enormous amount of time is to allow your router to run out of disk space, but _just_ not fail entirely.
Why is my ESP32 not connecting to wifi? It must be broken. Mmm, let me just delete this inactive dhcp lease.
Why does one computer browse the internet fine while the other one doesn't? Oh hey, DNS is down, that's funny.
I don't understand why I've haven't been able to buy a router in the past decade that just works well continuously and supports more than 4 clients.
I replaced mine wirh a proper x86 machine. Everything is soo easy and smooth now.
Well, except all the problems of course...
Yeah, I'll put that on my todo list. Gonna need a bigger home server closet.
I have one of these based on nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp s post, running OPNsense. It works great, e.g. I can watch HD Youtube anywhere in the world with Wireguard going home first. It helps to have gigabit fiber of course.
Problem is that it doesn't cap the log size by default, so those quietly grew to 99 GB.
