    I think I only have three subscriptions at the moment... Prime, Chewy, and a news commentary streaming site I like. That's pretty much it, not very expensive. Everything else is av…

    I'm not the person you replied to, but to answer your second question myself, yes, I do. I have four desktop PCs (one for each of my family members including myself), a netbook, an…

    +1 for OPNsense if you're willing to deviate from Linux and get a great management web console. I've been running it at home for over a year without any hiccups.
