It really was easy. And it works so well I didn’t have to lean the names of stuff haha
For anyone following along, I meant portainer to manage dockers. Podman is a different container technology it seems.

Proxmox was the answer for me. OpenMediaVault in a VM for NAS, LXC containers for things that need GPU access (Plex and frigate). Hell, I even virtualized my router. One thing I probably should have done was a single docker host and learn podman or something similar. I ended up with 8 or 9 VMs that run 8 or 9 dockers. It works great, but it’s more to manage.
You’ll want 2 network cards/interfaces- one for the VMs and another for the host. Power usage is not great using old gaming parts. Discrete graphics seem to add 40 watts no matter what. A 5600G or Intel with quicksync will get the job done and save you a few bucks a month. I recently moved to a 7700x and transcode performance is great. Expect 100-150 watts 24/7 which costs me $10-15 month. But I can compile ESPHome binaries in a few seconds 🤣
I did a South American country once too but the payment processor has a snafu and it stopped working after the 2nd month. I just spun up a personal invidious VM and moved on with my life.
I think you’d get over that. I don’t think it’d be any worse than normally contemplation of mortality, eventually. There’d be the initial shock, and then again as it nears, but I think it’s worth it to know.
I use Ubiquity at work, and decided on TP-Link Omada at home. I virtualized opnsense and the controller, but if you’re just getting started I think this is the device you’re looking for. Street price is $250.

You’ll then need a modem and access points. I use an S33, and I’m happy with it. As for APs- they are $100 and up depending on features you need. The mesh and roaming work very well. I over-spec’d to the 670s, 610s would have worked. WiFi 7 APs are <$200 if you’re into that.
There are now 15 standards
Yes, but with square dongles
You can old nvme -> SATA -> new nvme with any old SATA drive you have lying around.
But that’s boring lol
Google stuff often hard codes 8.8.8.8, so unless you’re forwarding all port 53 to your pihole, it’s probably still getting out. Do the smart thing like I did and spend thousands of dollars on a proxmox host, virtualize opnsense, and tell Google where to stick it.
Don’t forget ads on the home screen after a major version update.
Good riddance.
From the wifi wikipedia page> Hardware>Embedded Systems
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi
Increasingly in the last few years (particularly as of 2007), embedded Wi-Fi modules have become available that incorporate a real-time operating system and provide a simple means of wirelessly enabling any device that can communicate via a serial port. This allows the design of simple monitoring devices. An example is a portable ECG device monitoring a patient at home. This Wi-Fi-enabled device can communicate via the Internet.
Pretty much, yes.
I think you’re underestimating the computing power of these devices. If it has WiFi, it has an operating system.
You’re looking for something like ESPhome maybe. It’s a project from the same people that do home assistant. There’s a web server (and/or local API) available that allows you to toggle outputs locally, your browser directly to the microcontroller.
Baby likes to rock it
None of those specifically, but after you have a virtualization host your flock tends to grow pretty quickly. More that I’m hosting big multi-user things like nextcloud for a single user.

Is an extra 3% a year worth the 20% more work you’re doing?
I didn’t skip it, I installed ddclient.
