  • You should also consider the time you will spend configuring and setting up everything in Incus.

    If you do this with educational purpose go for it, otherwise I will advise you not to, as Proxmox has a wider support and probably finding information, etc. for it is going to be easier.

    Alternatively, why don’t you dedicate one of the hosts to Incus and play around with it and decide if it works for you or not.


  • The most concerning part about Rustdesk is that they delete issues that question the source of the software or Rustdesk’s potential to be influenced by the CPP.

    Seriously, if you make the effort to create a big piece of software and then you open source it and then someone opens a ticket in GitHub asking you those questions, how would you feel?

    Because neither “what is the source of the software” nor “potential influence by the CPP” has anything to do with the software itself.

    You are free to conduct a security audit of the project and based on the results you can open this thread but saying that they have deleted issues opened on their GitHub page that have nothing to do with the software itself is a pure form of witch hunt and I am genuinely surprised how many people have agreed with you.

    I am not Chinese, I am born and raised in the EU and I am Caucasian.

    I am just irritated that FOSS software is being questioned just because it might have been developed by Chinese programmers.

    And for the record you can’t be sure that any commercial software isn’t compromised or it doesn’t have backdoors, it just makes detecting those backdoors a lot harder.

    So now I got labelled leftist? That’s very presumptuous of you, don’t you think? You know there are more shades of gray and in normal democracies we have more than two political parties. But nice of you trying to generalise my whole personality, based on a couple of sentences, written in a social platform.

    And for the record, English isn’t my native language. And surprisingly there are other reasonable human beings living outside the US (surprise, surprise) who might have slightly different world views from you. The world doesn’t revolve around the US, no matter what your politicians are telling you.



  • CSS can become tedious, especially if you are targeting mobile device and tablets and building this in plain HTML CSS and PHP is way too much work and the end result will probably still not be very responsive and won’t look so great.

    This approach is definitely an overkill and if the OP doesn’t want to use this as an educational project I will strongly suggest not to go this route. Just use some of the tools the other has suggested here, like Grav, Hugo, etc.









  • I want to do exactly that on my fw router. I have installed two identical SSDs and the plan is to install Proxmox and run Opnsense on top of it. I also want to segment my WLAN and allocate the 5GHz to phones and laptops and tablets. 2.4GHz to IoT devices and the Guest WLAN for occasional guests. Each one of them should be in a separate VLAN.

    My ISP router would have the WLAN disabled and I will run it through a Netgear RX7800 running OpenWRT. The idea is to run Opnsense with intrusion detection and serve as the primary gateway for every device in my network.

    Any guide or hint how I can achieve that would be highly appreciated.


  • You need to have a dedicated WAN interface, where you connect your WAN cable. The rest of the ports must be put into bridge mode.

    You need to create VLANs, one for the WAN, then your home network, eventually your IoT network, guest network, etc. and expose those VLANs to the respective bridge ports.

    You would also need an AP that supports VLANs, so anything that runs OpenWRT or other supported device. The routing would be done on the OPNSense’s side.

    On the Proxmox you need to expose the network ports to the VM running OPNSense.

    But there are more steps involved and if someone can share a step-by-step guide explaining the whole process would be better.

    You are missing the elephant in the room here that this format isn’t royalty free and requires a license and is patented.

    Same story with H.265 and AV1 in the video. AV1 is royalty free video codec while H.265 is patented so every device that transcodes or encodes to it should pay royalty fee to the patent holder, but due to the fact that H.265 predates AV1, a lot of devices still don’t fully support AV1.

    Also Apple are always supporting not open standards in their device making the whole interoperability a big mess. For example HLS vs Dash or Fair Play vs Widevine and the refusal of Apple to adopt AES-128 CTR to alleviate the problem with interoperability between devices. All of this because they want to extract the maximum profit from their users and lock their users.

    The lightning cable was a prime example, where Apple put a small DRM chip that needs to authorize that the cable is authentic otherwise your phone won’t charge. And all of this so that they can charge third party vendors royalty fees on their cables and their long standing refusal to adopt USB-C on the iPhone.
