    interesting.

    If i separated the various operations, how'd you suggest i go about it? I have a raspberry pi (currently with pihole ;loaded but isnt being used) and i have the brume 2 which i was trying to setup tailscale on with has adguard home and wireguard vpn. Im trying to get all traffic through one point and at the router seems to make sense.

    My goal is to have a security gateway for all of my home traffic routed through opensource wireguard (proton) vpn, screened by adguard home (or pihole) to remove/block nefarious content. And perhaps even for my phone when on the move so routing it back through my home network would be amazing.
    The added complexity is that my partner likes getting ad suggestions so i would need to have the ability to set up a profile that allows for her needs but still protects the network.

    Ive already tried to run 2 wifi networks with 2 routers (one as a total block and one that is more lenient) the reason being that im trying to also stop the hardwired IoTs (+games consoles) as i cant change their DNS settings. Problem then becomes the various IP address allocations and which one does the DHCP. With the 2nd router with the Brume2 supposedly meant to allocate the IPs. This was too complicated for my level of understanding

    Right now i can get the Brume 2 with VPN and adguard but not exit node tailscale. Tailscale keeps picking my nas which does not seem like the logical option. Is that offering me the best solution? Is that not making traffic doubling back on itself?

    Im also not certain that all the traffic is being routed through the brume. Are the IoTs and games consoles getting passed the gateway?

    Any suggestions appreciated

    Anyone trying to get Tailscale working on a GLinet router

    Me! Tailscale wasn't letting me chose the router so I had to edit the router to force tailscale to accept the router. It worked for a few minutes but for some reason the VPN jumped to Pakistan. I tried to edit the VPN but that bricked the router so I'm starting again.

    I also find most of my back injuries (tweaking) are from dead lifts from the downward part of the movement.

    "You can live a long, healthy, JACKED, life and NEVER do a barbell back squat"

    Alan! That's not helping me today!

    There is a group that advises not to do squats or deadlifts - Technically anything that can *over*load the spine that might lead to herniation of the discs is to be avoided unless you're young and competing in those things. BUT the internet is totally black or white and totally binary... I'm seeing the new big thing is to use a belt squat which is not always available (or not at all as ive personally never seen one).
    I'd say do it occasionally, but compliment it with leg presses, curls/extensions and hack squats to get powerful legs and back.

    I highlight over-load as I think loading the spine is good as is curls or bench or any other weights exercises. But not overloading them.

    I’d assumed that everyone was a little more mature these days

    I think this place has become a little more chilled out. The occasional explosion happens rather than a regular one

    So much OG directed bitterness, blah blah fucking blah.

    I find giving the old one some comfort and a cuppa goes a long way. And a little shoulder hug that they complain about but deep down really wants.
