  • Anyone having experience ipfire compared to PF/opnsense?

    I’m using opnsense but it’s based on BSD and the hardware support for my PCengine APU2C4 NICs isn’t so great, I’ve read Linux based Firewalls might have better support (=performance=throughput). Only getting around 60MBs with plain firewalling, no IPS etc.

    Opnsense seems to be much more feature complete though and all my searches for switching between them find only posts of people going from ipfire to opnsense.





  • Not much to do against scraping. On a small (but actively moderated) instance, a spamming bot will easily be detected and hopefully suspended. Generally, moderation is often better on smaller instances, so I’m not too worried about people migrating towards bigger instances - usually it’s the other way round.

    For 2. - dedicated corp instances will be defederated from many instances quickly. Bridge accounts on other instances need to be dealt with by the mods.

    Yes, of course this can increase moderation effort. But spam accounts are way more easy to deal with from a moderation perspective than issues between real human users which usually takes wayyy more effort to deal with.


  • That’s cool! I’ve always had the idea of a small k3s cluster on old phones with postmarketOS. I guess it doesn’t work with older phones which don’t have the latest Android Version but given the homelab trend generally goes towards small, low power devices, this could continue the trend with super small and low power phones. Probably in 2 years when current gen phones rotate out of company leasing contracts?
