Homelab update v20251030
Thelio Major is now running bazzite:nvidia. Just regular Bazzite; no custom modifications or builds. I don’t intend to use it as a regular workstation, so no personalized software is installed. Just Steam, Lutris, MangoJuice, and a few flatpaks. I’m using the Firefox flatpak with sync enabled for minimally viable browsing. So it’s basically like a glorified gaming console. I’m using the GSYNC monitor for this machine. It is configured to go to sleep after 60 minutes of idleness.

I really dislike computers sometimes
I’ve got to figure something out with the arrangement of my bedroom/office. Right now, I have two desks in the shape of an L in the corner. This corner is necessary because that’s where the outlets are. One of the desks holds my gaming PC, and the other desk holds my main Linux workstation along with my NAS and homelab machines. I’d rather have: (1) one desk for my gaming PC and Linux workstation, and (2) the other desk for my homelab equipment.

Home networking and preventing DNS leaks
I'm thinking of getting my OPNsense device back up again. At my previous place of residence, I had AT&T internet, and AT&T had all sorts of configurable options in their modem that played well with my OPNsense device. At my current place of residence, I have Xfinity Comcast, and the only option I can configure on their modem that would allow me to use my OPNsense device is "Enable/disable bridge mode". When I first moved in here, I tried doing that, but for some reason the IPv4 gateway on my OPNsense device wasn't picking up anything. I believe I had everything configured correctly, the Xfinity modem was in Bridge mode, and the OPNsense router was assigned the public IP address from my Xfinity account. This was four months ago, and it's very likely I missed something in the configuration, so it can't hurt to try again. The worst-case scenario is that I reset my Xfinity modem to factory defaults and continue to use that. But it would sure be nice if I could have more control over that portion of my internet.
