  • This.

    Do it. This saved my life on more than one occasion.

    You'll think “nah, it'll be fine” and then at 11pm when your brain's fried on vending machine coffee you'll be glad that you did it.. 3 times over...

  • Similar story here, Bose QC whilst the house next door was (basically) being demolished... I just found the headphones ate batteries faster.

    I sometimes find I'm just working with the headphones on and whatever I was listening to had stopped ages ago.

    by blocking everyday sounds such as cars beeping, there is a possibility the brain can "forget" to filter out the noise.

    Also growing up in the quiet countryside, I can say that you do not “forget” to hear sounds like cars... it's definitely the everyday background noise that's the problem.

  • Presuming you can put OpenWRT on it, it'll be fine as a single box

    IMHO, I just prefer having it all as separates and then fix / change / upgrade parts as I go - but I soon run out of places to hide them

  • Is the ISP supplied box also your wifi?

    If not, IMHO I'd use the ISP equipment as a pass-through modem (if possible on that model?) and have a separate OpenWRT / pfSense firewall do all the heavy lifting for DHCP, DNS, ad blocking, etc

    Depends if you'd then need another WAP, of course

  • Thanks, I was following this thread and wanted to say the same thing

    I've kept updating shops that change, new houses, parking, etc... it's great. I even used it on vacation (when the SO wasn't looking)

    My global rank is #1554 and ~#130ish in my local country, but #12 in another country I barely visit, so it shows where more people should complain less support more.

  • Also consider outside your home too - either permantly VPNing back through your home network, or (ie for Android) Tracker Control, which will block most ad / sdk / geo trackers that it knows about.

  • Ok, thanks. Yeah, I don't use PostgreSQL much, so I have to get my head into it.

    That said, it's only for Immich, so I could just wipe it and start again which might be quicker... it only took 3 days to scan the photos, it might take me longer to update the database 😉

  • Updated my NAS recently and Immich's database stopped working due to some PostgreSQL update that needs something changed manually, so I need to get my head around that.

    Also trying to get a tablet to run as a 2nd satellite for HomeAssistant voice commands and no matter what I do, only the 1st one responds to wakeword... but I tend to give up after everyone's gone to bed as I'm literally in a room on my own talking to myself...

  • Using PfBlockerNG?

    It's a great piece of software, but I had a hell of a time blocking some countries for torrents.

    A single IP in China was repeatedly downloading an Ubunto ISO, I think due to the various methods of peers finding each other, so in the end I had to create an additional alias to block outgoing traffic even though only I was only allowing specific other countries in.
