How’d it work out?

I mean in terms of hijacking DNS. Might be worth a look.

It runs quite well; Docker’s not a full fledged virtual machine so much as a virtualization layer. I also love the portability of running this in Docker. I rsync a backup of this and the Appdata folder every night. When or if this server fails, I can be up and running again in minutes on another machine.

Is your ISP interfering?

Feel free to just delete the wg-easy service.

Very well could be!

Lineage sounds a lot like “Linux.” Take it easy on the lad.

I think a lot of it is anxiety; being replaced by AI, the continued enshitification of the services I loved, and the ever present notion that AI is, “the answer.” After a while, it gets old and that anxiety mixes in with annoyance – a perfect cocktail of animosity.

And AI stole em dashes from me, but that’s a me-problem.

Yeah. My TPM would trip every time Linux updated my hardware firmware… which was fairly common.

Boy howdy, you best keep that BitLocker key handy, though.

Back when I dual booted, I had the most success keeping Windows on a separate drive completely. After making the Linux drive the primary boot device, GRUB would pick it up and I’d be off to the races. I now just keep a Windows VM – it’s been much easier to deal with.
