You will need to explain a bit further this statement to mild knowledged internet stranger…

Because the point of waf is exactly about reducing the exposed surface…

Dealing with a Ds-lite connection for a fiber optic provider in latest opnsense.

It is excruciating how difficult is to run it reliable

Some clarifications :

The 3 2 1 rule applies only for the data. Not the backup, in my case I have the real/live data, then a daily snapshot in the same volume /pool and a external off-site backup

For the databases you got misleading information, you can copy the files as they are BUT you need to be sure that the database is not running (you could copy the data and n the middle of a transaction leading to some future problems) AND when you restore it, you need to restore to the exact same database version.

Using the export functionality you ensure that the data is not corrupted (the database ensure the correctness of the data) and the possibility to restore to another database version.

My suggestion, use borgbackup or any other backup system with de duplication, stop the docker to ensure no corruptions and save everything. Having a downtime of a minute every day is usually not a deal breaker for home users

Of you already have a will the most secure, proof idiot way I’d to add that key + instructions to the will. Get some lawyers on board for that and it will work.

If you still have concerns about having the full key on a single place, add a topt or second way of identification and distribute it between your heirs.

Sometime, the old fahion way is the best one by far.

Fritzbox boxes.

They tick all the checkboxes

• good standards support (including dect protocol if you want to have an ip phone or even iot protocols)
• fast wifi speeds
• cheap (at least for the second hand in ebay)
• super stable, never had a problem with them in 5 years or more
• fast roaming support out of the box

It is a well known brand in Germany but pretty unknown outside that country. Honestly it is the best bang for buck I was able to get.

Honestly, I would spend 10 minutes checking on them
