  • Technically, the “best” option would be to VLAN the WiFi network separately from a wired network where all the important devices are connected.

    But honestly, for normal people, that’s over the top. Try WPA3 first and see if you have any devices that won’t work over it. If you run into issues, swap over to WPA2. I generally say start stricter and loosen the metaphorical belt only as necessary.









  • Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.

    I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.


  • Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

    Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

    Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

    Help friends and family with projects.

    That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.
