One of the main reasons I run my own instances (Mastodon and Lemmy). Keep the garbage blocked and out of sight.
Devices at home are named after Autobots and remote devices are named after Deceptions.
Hard pass. Which ever vendor keeps making dumb appliances gets my money. I can live with basic "smart" appliances as well. The ones that connect to WiFi simply to tell when say the wash cycle is done by sending a message to your mobile. But I don't need no flipping AI crap in my house thank you.
The interest is actually higher as it's calculated on interest that's accrued on the more than $350 million award handed down last week. According to an NBC article it will be $111,983.86 on the $454,156,783.05. Note that's just against Trump himself. Doesn't include interest on the amounts against other offenders.
IF it's possible you might be able to take the ISP SFP and put it in a SFP to RJ45 media converter and then you can use any 1gig capable router. I did this with my Telus SFP.
OPNsense or OpenWRT. I run multiple OPNsense firewalls for family members all connected together with a WireGuard Mesh.
Cisco is command line for the most part until get into the APIC NSX stuff. There's others but I'm only exposed to those 2 where I work.
I selfhost both Lemmy and Mastodon. Lemmy is set and forget follow the communities you etc. Mastodon does need a little bit of tweeking after being setup. I have a script the removes remote content from my server after 7 days which keeps the used space down considerably.
