I wintered over at Palmer Station. Drinking increased heavily during the dark months.

I did the same thing, pulled up my pfSense config in a VM side-by-side with the fresh OPNSense install and manually ported everything over. Kind of a pain, sure, but I felt better …

I know you said you don't want to purchase equipment and keep it up to date, but the progression of CPU's and GPU's has slowed drastically in the last decade. I easily get 5-6 year…
