How old are you? For me in the early 2000s it was very uncommon after 9/11. NOFX’s criticism of GW Bush was poignant.

I bought this guy cause it’s smaller and soft sided. And no wheels because I’m not a loser.

It might be time to virtualize.
They are commodity now. No way for a brand to differentiate themselves other than price, and consumer s usually buy the cheapest thing available. There’s no market for nicer designs because they’re too expensive. They may offer more expensive bulbs, but it’s probably still the same shitty cheap design.
My experience is that dimmable bulbs last longer because the power supply cannot be shittified as bad as the on/off.
You got to watch those sneaky bastards

I just glued these to mold halves to eachother, and now they’re stuck together 🤣
I have an HDHomerun tuner, it’s 2 channels for $120. I paid for plexpass and use that DVR, but the HDHR is platform agnostic.
I didn’t skip it, I installed ddclient.
Cloudflare is the devil!
It really was easy. And it works so well I didn’t have to lean the names of stuff haha
For anyone following along, I meant portainer to manage dockers. Podman is a different container technology it seems.
Proxmox was the answer for me. OpenMediaVault in a VM for NAS, LXC containers for things that need GPU access (Plex and frigate). Hell, I even virtualized my router. One thing I probably should have done was a single docker host and learn podman or something similar. I ended up with 8 or 9 VMs that run 8 or 9 dockers. It works great, but it’s more to manage.
You’ll want 2 network cards/interfaces- one for the VMs and another for the host. Power usage is not great using old gaming parts. Discrete graphics seem to add 40 watts no matter what. A 5600G or Intel with quicksync will get the job done and save you a few bucks a month. I recently moved to a 7700x and transcode performance is great. Expect 100-150 watts 24/7 which costs me $10-15 month. But I can compile ESPHome binaries in a few seconds 🤣
I use Ubiquity at work, and decided on TP-Link Omada at home. I virtualized opnsense and the controller, but if you’re just getting started I think this is the device you’re looking for. Street price is $250.

You’ll then need a modem and access points. I use an S33, and I’m happy with it. As for APs- they are $100 and up depending on features you need. The mesh and roaming work very well. I over-spec’d to the 670s, 610s would have worked. WiFi 7 APs are <$200 if you’re into that.
You can old nvme -> SATA -> new nvme with any old SATA drive you have lying around.
But that’s boring lol
Google stuff often hard codes 8.8.8.8, so unless you’re forwarding all port 53 to your pihole, it’s probably still getting out. Do the smart thing like I did and spend thousands of dollars on a proxmox host, virtualize opnsense, and tell Google where to stick it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi
Increasingly in the last few years (particularly as of 2007), embedded Wi-Fi modules have become available that incorporate a real-time operating system and provide a simple means of wirelessly enabling any device that can communicate via a serial port. This allows the design of simple monitoring devices. An example is a portable ECG device monitoring a patient at home. This Wi-Fi-enabled device can communicate via the Internet.
