This is exactly why I want to migrate to a OpenWRT router, companies should not just be able to hop in my network like this. And I'd love to like the Flint 3 I stayed away from it because it didn't have upstream openwrt compatibility but I just saw this repo that might fix my issue: perceival/openwrt-flint3

I haven't made a vlan yet for IoT stuff because my ISP's router do not let me, I can't wait to have my own openwrt / opnsense router and put the ISP in bridge mode.

You can set it up in a way that it does work without it but can be enhanced with it. Some zigbee switch work like that (Like the Aqara one).

Also, Home Assistant is the most rock-solid piece of software I ran in a long time, it just never breaks for me

Though I'm not 100% in line with this because in i3 I have no taskbar but it's perfect for serious work because:

1. Each app / type of app I use has its own workspace

2. The indicator of workspace only shows those which have a window on it, even if they always exist

That pretty much replicates the taskbar experience but with the added benefits that I choose exactly how I "group" those windows

GTK4 decided to drop the ability to theme any apps (or are seriously going this way if its not already in place) but that's my computer and the lack of customization is litterally one of the main reason i left windows 15 years ago.

Renaming the apps to something totally generic is also weird like i want to install eye-of-gnome now called "photos" i have no clue what the package name is, same for engrampa or the file explorer.

The new design guideline is not to my taste but that's not the point here.

But it's a lot of small stuff like you copy / extract a file then no more window just a small indicator in the corner of the file explorer which cannot stay on screen so i can track the progress easily, and what happen if I close the explorer ? Does it continue in the background or stop because everything is closed i'll never know.

I also had a grip with the picture viewer which forced me to stay on eog until I finally took the dip and went to eye-of-mate but I don't remember it, just that it was enough for me to stop using it

To be fair my experience is more or less a year old since I've not used GTK software in a while but that's just a few exemple on how it clearly isn't as good as it used to be.

> Why bother to learn a new UI, when all that does is get you back to square 1, and it might not even stick around

Exactly. That's why I gave up and stay on i3 and the common tools I use. I've been for a few month under hyprland and yeah no I'll go back to X11+i3 the pain it provides is just not worth it even if the common user would think they're pretty similar.

I'm already upset that I have to use Windows at work because I've not used it in years and I have to relearn everything again (like every time you want to change some settings it appears that Microsoft has moved them?) that I don't have the free time to spend to do the same on Linux. I just want my computer to work and to work the same unless I specifically decide to change it, not because some update thought it would be cool to move things around

That sentiment is probably what it means to growing older though

I'd like more informations about this as I'm not too familiar with firewall setup but every time I tried to setup iptables / nft it was indeed bypassed by docker. Recently I found out in the docs that docker adds a DOCKER-USER table, isn't it enough to put your rules in it to prevent the outside world to reach containers ?
