 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 |

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? 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 |

| eyJhb | What do you currently have on your router? Ie. what do you use? | 20:52:35 |

| hpfr | Redacted or Malformed Event | 20:53:46 |
| eyJhb | Like, what features. Ie. When I started out with NixOS, I just got a bare minimal router working. | 20:55:32 |
