Needed to add it to the forward chain. interesting, may i ask what the use case is? | 06:28:59 |
| eyJhb | Chromecast having a hardcoded DNS to Google DNS. I run a split DNS instead of setting up NAT for my services, so that means Chromecast could not access my Jellyfin server (ie. jellyfin.mydomain.dk would point to my external IP for my Chromecast, as it did not use my internal DNS). | 07:40:20 |
| eyJhb | But if you block Google DNS, it will then use your local DNS instead. | 07:41:03 |
 hexa | Just dnat to your own resolver | 13:08:21 |

Just dnat to your own resolver I considered doing that as well.
I am unsure what the most pretty solution is 🙃 | 15:02:34 |
| eyJhb | At some point we had a discussion about having a NixOS WiFi access point. I remember some hardware being mentioned, but I can't remember the name of the hardware. Anyone that remember which hardware, or know of any which would be suitable? | 15:18:53 |

Anyone that remember which hardware, or know of any which would be suitable? I wasn't part of that discussion, but I could imagine that the pcengines APU devices were mentioned, as they're x86 and are intended for DIY networking https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm | 15:20:39 |
| eyJhb | Thanks, it was exactly those that was mentioned ! :) | 15:21:16 |
| hexa | Limited to Mini PCIe though | 16:13:14 |
| hexa | Like you can get 2r2t AC, but certainly not AX | 16:14:28 |
| eyJhb | Any recommendations for something that can do AX? Just looking around atm. Could be interesting to set such a device up. | 16:19:31 |
| eyJhb | I also seem to remember that it is possible to "flash" the Ubiquiti APs | 16:19:48 |
| nixinator | if i need a nice system to run as a nixos router. what would i use? | 17:09:28 |
| eyJhb | nixinator: The APU2 seems nice for that as well :p I run some SuperMicro stuff at home. Kind of overkill. | 17:10:53 |
 toonn | I have no experience whatsoever but the BananaPi stuff I saw mentioned ages ago does look sexy. | 17:11:13 |
| nixinator | yeah, low power would be nice, and lots of physical ethernet ports at 10gb/s or aboive. | 17:11:27 |
| toonn | "Kind of." 🙄 | 17:11:31 |
| nixinator | i also want the moon on a stick. | 17:12:03 |
| eyJhb | I really want to try out the bananapi... | 17:20:01 |
| eyJhb | It was my initial choice actually. | 17:20:05 |
| nixinator | thanks for the suggestions, i will check them out, see if i can source them | 18:32:07 |

I have no experience whatsoever but the BananaPi stuff I saw mentioned ages ago does look sexy. Which one exactly? The BPI-R64 seems to be the most powerful as far as I can tell | 20:47:17 |
| CRTified | (http://www.banana-pi.org/r64.html) | 20:47:23 |
| toonn | All of it. My needs are pretty basic : ) | 20:52:20 |
| CRTified | I mean, getting something with PCIe and an appropriate NIC might also be worth a try | 20:53:20 |

 hpfr | Somewhat unrelated to NixOS itself, but I have a router PC I'm running OPNsense on currently and I want to move it to NixOS, but I don't really know enough about networking to feel comfortable switching yet (no pun intended). Anyone got any resources they recommend for learning home networking for the Linux router use case? I don't really have time to do a full-fledged networking textbook at the moment, so I'm looking for something more focused | 20:50:15 |

I know pretty much nothing about firewalls, NAT, or VLAN's which are things I feel like I need to understand to set this up securely and with the features I want, like a site-to-site VPN | 20:52:09 |
| eyJhb | What do you currently have on your router? Ie. what do you use? | 20:52:35 |
