Probably helps add a certain gravitas.

Been running Ubuntu LTS releases on all my server VMs for 8 years and haven't had a single problem. Absolutely solid as a rock. Fantastic support, loads of guides to do anything. Plus you can get 10years of support as a home user with a free Ubuntu Pro subscription.
I'd honestly just go Ubuntu server LTS and learn to configure it through the terminal. It's not too difficult to setup. NFS and Samba shares.
If more than 0.1% of people do that I'd be flabbergasted
Attackers need to access the system kernel to exploit the Sinkclose vulnerability, so the system would have to already be compromised. The hack itself is a sophisticated vector that is usually only used by state-sponsored hackers, so most casual users should take that into account.
So it's a vulnerability that requires you to.already have been compromised. Hardly seems like news.
I can understand AMD only patching server chips that by definition will be under greater threat. On the other hand it's probably not worth the bad publicity not to fix more.
I moved from an FX8350 to a R5 5600G a few years ago, having run it for about 9 years. Initially I didn't think I'd notice much difference, but frankly it's an entirely different ballgame.
"Already stable enough"
- no it isn't.
- if fucking should be, it's been around 15 years!
A big reason for owning a gun is protection of property. No one owns FOSS, so you can't shoot anyone, and that's no fun at all.
It started with Emby and pihole. I'm now up to about 30 different services from Vault, email, 3CX, home assistant, firefox, podgrab etc.
I just setup netboot.xyz this evening as an experiment. Is pretty cool.
Yes you can do that. I do with opnsense. The username and passwd are not obvious though - they're probably not what you use to login to the ISP portal with.
Most ISPs will have a brief FAQ on how to use third party equipment with the basics of what settings are important for your connection. You just need to enter them in to pfsense correctly. Also, sometimes searching for "<ISP_name> pfsense" can find useful blogs and articles.
I'm not intending to run Proxmox on it. I have that running on an SSD, or maybe it's an NVME, I forget. This will just be for data storage mainly of photos that one VM will manage and NFS share out to other machines.
