    check dnsleaktest website and see which servers are returning, if your dns is google or is your isp dns you will know there.

    if you want more privacy replace your dns servers with cloudflare o quad9, if you want more privacy maybe consider upgrade to DNS over TLS (DOT) or HTTPS over DNS (DOH).

    You can do this with a dns filtering server like AdguardHome or Pihole. While you block ads and telemetry in your network.

    and if you even want to level up consider selfhost your own recursive dns server with unbound + AdguardHome or Pihole.

    hi, i started another laptop a dell xps with core duo cpu and just 4gb ram. I don’t have any spare ssd for that so I used a 500GB black Western Digital.

    The battery is removable.

    so far is running dietpi (debian) server and running some docker containers, including a metube to download videos/music from YouTube.

    cpu performance is awesome. I wish to have a moderm i7 but I’m okay.

    but also added navidrome for music streaming and works fantastic. Also added wireguard server via PiVPN and mostly I’ll be using this to sharp some linux, docker, ansible, and dev skills.

    is not 24 hrs but mostly is a lab. doesn’t have kvm or vm instructions so not sure it can handle proxmox but ram is limited.

    but has more cpu/86 than my raspberry pi. but consume more power.
