    I use syncthing for some of my “can-never-lose-these” files. syncthing synchronizes files between different devices. This is not an online-file-hosting thing like Google Drive or OneDrive. These files are physically present on all synchronized devices.

    My server is the “main” (you can make everyone equal) syncthing every other syncthing connects to. With an established connection, files will be synchronized on participating devices. AFAIK, syncthing is compatible with Windows, Android and Linux.

    This way, my important files are on my server, my smartphone, my PC and my laptop and every single one of these devices must simultaniously explode for me to lose my data. Also, it’s on docker hub

    pi-hole is another great one. Local adblocker for the whole network, just set it as your DNS server or let the DHCP server propagate this DNS server to your clients. This too is on docker hub

    You’re welcome, I’m glad to spread the old-school pre-internet local couch coop fun :)

    My personal favourites are

    MageQuit

    This is the most addicting of all the played games. I bought this with a “fun little magic-based pvp-only game for now and then” mindest. I thought “super smash brothers but magic”. I started playing it with my friend on his TV “just for an hour” and suddenly, it was dark outside and time to go home.

    The next meeting we planned on playing MageQuit for a round or two and then move on to one of the other, yet unplayed, games. The moving on part never happened, MageQuit was just too much fun.

    Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

    This is the game for the whole family. You (up to 4 players) are in a spaceship. The spaceship has different buttons and levers in different places to control different things like acceleration, changing direction, aiming / firing weapon, directing partial shield or countermeasure etc. and you need to rescue your bunny-friends.

    They are scattered around the levels, sometimes hidden, sometimes locked up, sometimes guarded etc and you need to work together with your teammates to direct the spaceship. You get quite a few different weapons and shields / countermeasures, which can also be combined, you upgrades for the ship, can buy different ships etc.

    It looks and sounds adorable, but if you don’t work together, it’s way harder then it looks. This is a game with a campaign and story.

    Regular Human Basketball

    Think basketball, but stupid and fun. The regular humans are actually motionless robots which need to be moved by using switches and levers inside it, which is what your job is. You even have a jet-boost at some parts of your regular-human body. We laughed our asses off.

    It is similar to Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime in the sense that, you need to work together to control a bigger machine. This is just a pvp only game, no story or campaign.

    Ultimate Chicken Horse

    Race each other to the finish of an obstacle course. After each round, everyone picks a new obstacle to place and expands the course. Seldomly have I ever seen such bullshittery as my friends and me created in this game and then had to go through.

    Set OPNSense default policy

    As far as I remember, OPNSense has a default policy rule of “deny all incoming, allow all outgoing”. If not, this should be one of the first steps to take.

    Get your own VPN

    If you can, you could use your own VPN service. I run a VPS for 6 € / month. If you can get your hands on something like this and install an openvpn server, you could always use that VPN for every connection.

    So even if an attacker highjacks your connection somehow, he would only be able to see encrypted content and all content will be encrypted by a server you own and can verify / trust. You could also integrate this VPN into your OPNSense, so you’ll be connected as soon as OPNSense starts up and has internet.

    Regarding MITM attacks

    Please someone correct me if I am wrong, but MITM attacks should generally be impossible when connecting to SSL backed connections, right?

    These certificates (or rather the certificate authority the HTTPS certificates have been issued by) are generally trusted by your own operating system. Therefore, if someone wanted to highjack your connection without you getting some kind of certificate error, he would have needed to get his hands on a certificate issued by a worldwide trusted certificate authority and the address name matching the certificate.
