  • What is the software setup when you’re actually configuring the minipc/box? Beyond the hardware architecture of the local network, what is the actual stack I should be pursuing and how is it implemented?

    For example: I read lots of great things about OPNsense, Wireguard, DietPi… but I don’t know what the exact stew should be and how to set it up ELI5 style.


  • I was lazy in my langauge. I meant DOCSIS modem -> router/firewall with everything -> access points or hardlined ethernet recipients. Current setup is Arris dedicated (non-wifi) 3.1 to Linksys mesh.

    99% of demands are local network performance. No mega streaming needs or huge external traffic. Upload on wireguard (Jellyfin or otherwise) will be pretty limited to a single user at once. But this is not critical. Local network is my usecase.

    I am 500/50, will probably up to fiber as soon as it’s available. But again not a lot of external traffic, hyper limited.

    So get a switch between the router/minipc/whatever and the rest of the local network instead of many on-board ethernet?













    1. Jackie Brown
    2. Django
    3. Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair
    4. Basterds
    5. Pulp Fiction
    6. True Romance
    7. Hateful 8
    8. Res Dogs
    9. Planet Terror
    10. From Dusk Til Dawn
    11. Death Proof

    Including his screenplay-only credits here.

    I have still not seen Hollywood. I imagine it would be below Hateful 8 for me.

    Jackie Brown is very underrated and easily his best movie IMO.

    Reservoir Dogs is a great film, but in the context of his work, generally overrated. It’s more its own piece of film history than something to be compared to his more mature work.

    Kill Bill is tough. I think I could make the argument that it’s easily his best film—but for rewatches, Jackie Brown has it beat handily. It’s hard to rewatch the Kill Bill saga conveniently.

    The rest are honestly neck and neck. I think Pulp Fiction is #1 when you’re new, but kinda recedes into itself against his whole catalog.
