The Belkin RT3200 is a pretty popular router for openwrt. It’s a Wifi 6 router and you can usually find them cheap on ebay.

It’s mostly for if you already have DDR4 and an AM4 motherboard. If you’re on something like a 2700x this is a massive upgrade. If you’re building new then AM5 or the latest Intel is a better idea.

Most Odroid boards have arm processors, but the H3+ has an Intel N6005.

I’ve thought about it but I don’t really game on the go. I do want to get a mini PC and do in-home streaming to my TV though.

You can download Thunder from IzzyOnDroid (you can add this as a repository to F-Droid).

The communities on different instances are not the same. You can subscribe to both. The idea behind federation is that one company/server can’t control all the traffic. It might result in a little splintering of communities, but I think it’s ultimately better to be decentralized.

All the cards in this stack below the 4080 need to be shifted down a tier. The pricing on this entire generation is insane.

It’s easy enough to install LineageOS on OnePlus phones. Would rather do that than deal with shady stuff like this.

Faceit anticheat is very intrusive and requires disabling virtualization in bios. Also means no Linux support.

That is one that I haven’t done yet, but I’ve found this guide to be a good outline.

It’s still in the works, but I’m planning on:

• Nextcloud (file storage/calendar/office suite)
• Actual (budgeting)
• Home Assistant (IoT device hub)
• Nginx-proxy-manager (reverse proxy)
• Jellyfin (media)
• Headscale, selfhosted version of Tailscale (Mesh VPN)
• *arr stack (media fetching)
• Immich (photos)
• Pihole (DNS adblocking)
• Vaultwarden (password manager)

It’s definitely a lot of stuff, but I’m trying to reduce my reliance on cloud services. Really excited to get this stuff going.
