Fair point, I neglected to mention that I have >1 Public IP The firewall directs traffic as required.

Whatever you choose, consider a donation to the devs, that's what helps prevent these apps from dying

Or Syncthing...

Use another platform instead?

Kinda Scenario 1 is the standard way: firewall at the perimeter with separately isolated networks for DMZ, LAN & Wifi

The Firewall provides a proxy for anything in the DMZ, so all the filtering is done there and not on the DMZ device(s).

GeoIP on the firewall, so anything that's opened to the interweb - inc. inbound VPNs can only come from selected regions.

Fail2Ban on DMZ device(s), to prevent repeated login attacks.

Wifi has multiple SSIDs to block / permit outbound access to the internet (IoT stuff), LAN (Guests), etc.

Then regular updates / patching / backups....

I don't want WhatsApp & I avoid the 'stores, so it's F-Droid options for me...

Any opinions on Jami?

I'm also seeing XMPP mentioned in the comments, so I might look at that a bit more...

2nd hand Ruckus.

They're decent quality that you'd see in a commercial / enterprise setting (so PoE), but Ruckus also have their “Unleashed” firmware which removes the need for a WLC.

I have 2 in a mesh at home and easily support many IoT devices, phones, laptops, etc on multiple SSIDs

The arrrs are often rips of physical media, so they'll be setting sail too I guess

This still makes me laugh:

Yeah, I admit they cost more, but I'm not playing high perf games on it, so it's absolutely fine - no apps struggle.

And the eco thing has to start somewhere and that's not something Google's aiming for (afaik)

Plus, watching other's expression when I swap a battery to be fully charged in 60 seconds is great.

This is the real answer - get something that NUT supports

Fairphone have been offering 5 years of support for years... and ethically sourced materials, replacable parts (inc. nokia style batteries that you can replace)

Not to mention acceptance of alternative OS installations

Information is free, it's the transmission medium (paper printing or webservers) and the journalist's wages that you should pay for.

It'll either be military or industrial... neither want to replace “perfectly operational“ tech for ~10 years.

That must scrub the hell out of the tyres... unless you're on sand or a greasy wet road

You missed the part about AI - Actual Intelligence

To take that a little further, I recruit on enthusiasm, experience then certs last.

There's too many “experts” out there that I might not be able to fire due to employment laws.

Certs are what I'd train my team for, to show to our clients.

It's Open source hardware too

I'm glad it's open hardware as much as open software, but I think I'll wait to see what the OpenWrt Two looks like.

It's just like the indoor farm factory things, eventually everyone realises it's too expensive

Cost of car + remote driver infrastructure + remote driver (minimum) wage will be much higher than simpler car + local driver
