  • One related thing to watch out for is the state table size - one of my old cheap routers back in the day showed how full it was and it was hitting 100% a lot and seemed to grind the network to a halt when it did (I was in a house of 5 young people with lots of devices and multiple people torrenting behind a cheapo Netgear running ddwrt). That’s what lead me to switch to high end or x86 based routers. Being able to see the state table stats really helps to know how likely it is to be a problem, it’s so big when using opnsense on an x86 box that I don’t think it ever goes above 1% now.

    Edit: now that I think about it, if your VPN is working I wouldn’t expect any states related to peer connections to show up since your router won’t be NATing them, I guess I was just bold back in the day because it was a huge problem then.



  • This is usually because both packages have files at identical locations and so allowing you to install both would mean one would partially get overwritten by the other.

    I did a little searching and found that wine-cachyos now includes wine-mono, so you will want to uninstall wine-mono (as well as wine-gecko apparently according to this thread) by answering the prompt with “Y”. I assume it will also prompt you about wine-gecko so you should be able to just answer the prompts with Y and it should work.













  • During a boil water advisory that lasted more than a week we got a water drop brand RO system (the G3P800). It doesn’t have a tank but it instead uses a pump to do RO under a higher pressure so it outputs water fast enough to fill up a cup on demand, and a cooking pot if you’re not impatient. It came with a UV sterilizer, remineralization was an addon so we skipped it, especially since I prefer the taste that way and because I also use the RO water in our humidifiers and espresso machine where scale is a hassle. I’m a little biased because they accidentally refunded me so I got it for free, but it’s worked perfectly since we got it, and everything needed to install it was included (we just separately got a drain line adapter that lets us connect the waste line to the dishwasher drain so we could avoid modifying anything in our rental as the included adapter wants you to drill into the drain pipe). I have several TDS meters and the faucet’s included readout matches at usually 2-5, and I’ve used the water in my humidifiers 24/7 for months and still haven’t accumulated more than a couple days worth of regular water scale in any of them.

    Oh and it also has a 3:1 tap to drain ratio which is nice.

    I used to have a simple 3 stage under sink filter, so unfortunately I can’t really compare to other RO systems.
