The majority of the Internet’s routing and switching architecture is BSD based. Historically it had the most stable and performant network stack of all the OSs.

I used it extensively at one job in a previous life when I was a network appliance developer. It was rock solid and lightning fast. Tried it as a desktop at home and had a terrible experience.

The little differences in the Unix commands used to drive me nuts as well…

Doubt. You probably need to set the file owners in your volume to the same user running in the container.

Pass can’t do this.

It’s a cli tool, so you can call it within another call using dollar sign syntax

terraform apply --var "myvalue=$(pass path/to/value)"

I’m using pass at home, but I’ve used hashicorp vault at a few jobs with great success.

IBM just forked it to openBao as well to get around the business license, if that’s a concern for your. But honestly I’d trust hashicorp more than IBM at this point.

You can try putting it on pretty 443 or another tls port. It’s not a perfect solution but it could help for your specific setup.

Wireguard is e2e encrypted, no middleman can inspect the packets without the private keys.

Get rid of their junk equipment and put something decent in. Discord link is a group dedicated to doing just that. You may find info for your specific ISP.

If you do it right, you won’t even need their gear inline at all.

You could always add them to the allow list so they don’t get blocked.

Sounds like you were out of resources. That is the goal of a DoS attack, but you’d need connection logs to detect if that was the case.

DDoS attacks are very tricky to defend. (Source: I work in DDoS defence). There’s two sections to defense, detection and mitigation.

Detection is very easy, just look at packets. A very common DDoS attack uses UDP services to amplify your request to a bigger response, but then spoof your src ip to the target. So large amounts of traffic is likely an attack, out of band udp traffic is likely an attack. And large amount of inband traffic could be an attack.

Mitigation is trickier. You need something that can handle a massive amount of packet inspection and black holing. That’s done serious hardware. A script kiddie can buy a 20Gbe/1mpps attack with their moms credit card very easily.

Your defence options are a little limited. If your cloud provider has WAF, use it. You may be able to get rules that block common botnets. Cloudflare is another decent option, they’ll man in the middle your services, and run detection and mitigation on all traffic. They also have a decent WAF.

Best of luck!

Most people just use a browser these days, and they behave the same in every OS.

Steam has proton to run non native games on Linux, and works well enough for most things.

Try a few live images before making the switch.

I migrated from Plex to jellyfin.

I tried it out when I couldn’t get HEVC files to steam on Plex, and i liked it!

It doesn’t have the full ecosystem around it that Plex does, but that’s fine by me.

• jellyfin and Plex (in the process of migrating)
• radarr/sonarr
• jackett and deluge
• nextcloud

I’ve had new hardware in the basement now for a while, going to slap it together and build a k8s cluster on top of rancher/harvester
