If not possible, place a dedicated firewall (OpenWrt or OPNsense) between your network and the ISP router.

I tried both OPNsense and OpenWrt.

The most cost-effective and simplest option for my use case turned out to be a Banana Pi One running OpenWrt — roughly USD 80.

It does exactly what it needs to do:

act as a clear, predictable control point between the internet and my network.

addons:

- dns over tls (f.e. Unbound) / dns over https (simpler with dns mask forwarder, quad9)

- wlan timer

client side:

- https only

- vpn on device needed

Oh yes… 🥱

My current status: I'm currently using Endeavour OS (arch).

I'm quite satisfied. I really like that it's community-driven.

#endeavouros #arch

I’ve heard of it, it looks interesting. I should take a closer look at its technical side.

There are only deb and rpm packages from contributor. pacam and flapak for f.e. Protonmail Client are missing.

Do you build missing software it from source to be sure there is no hidden malware?

Artixs sounds good, alternative for systemd. Maybe i will try this distro

Thank you, interesting. Artix seems arch based. I did no no this distro.

What are the advantages over a basic arch installation?

On serverside debian is my first choice too 👌

Manjaro sure, has a little bit less aggressive rolling release concept.

Run it on a pinephone years ago, but did never run it on desktop 😅

I love the arch distros because it is community driven , no hidden company behind.

Do you use hardenings or container tools for safety of the system? (Apparmor/firejail/other) i have a big respect of the community packages yay. But seems the only way to get most tools (ok…maybe flatpak is an alternative or to build the package yourself)

What linux distro do you use and why do you love/choose it?

#asknostr #linux

Next distro was Arch… Endeavour was nice, but why choose it if I can run the base system directly?

Rolling releases, a big non-profit community, and independent background structures.

Pacman and yay give access to a huge tool repo — though I have some security concerns about using yay packages…

Sadly, Debian and Fedora packages are often prioritized, so you end up relying on Flatpak, yay, or building the package yourself.

All of the distros were great and habe advantage and disadvantages — I’m still not sure which one I’ll choose. But it’s great to have a choice!

Ah… for security enthusiasts: try qubeos , it is great 👀

What is bitchat, what is the tech behind and what problem does/will it solve

Uff i had to correct my post… new one. I think the message came across wrong — I meant something else

Unfortunately the api is missing (f.e. IDE connection)

I am not sure you could/should classify it as freedom tech. But AI is a technology that can help in Knowhow and efficiency. Most of the people do not know how to self host or do not have the money to buy the mandatory gpu. Small modells are great but.. there are usecases you need the big ones.

Proton has a new cloud AI, maybe a small topic

I believe that in the Freedom Tech space, Linux is one of the most important things. Below is a series of points about it:

what it is,

why Linux, the most well‑known distributions and their strengths and applications,

what to keep in mind (Linux isn’t automatically more secure, and privacy can be compromised by wrong settings or packages).

There’s much more that could be covered.

Should I really dare to switch from a self‑managed Lightning solution to a self‑hosted one? ⚡️

Do you have good guides on how to set up LND correctly on a Start9 node, run channel management (e.g., automated eviction), and create a reliable backup in case the hardware fails?

Very Cool… 🦾
