Network-wide bullshit-blocking setup with Blocky and Tailscale

Home networking and preventing DNS leaks

I'm thinking of getting my OPNsense device back up again. At my previous place of residence, I had AT&T internet, and AT&T had all sorts of configurable options in their modem that played well with my OPNsense device. At my current place of residence, I have Xfinity Comcast, and the only option I can configure on their modem that would allow me to use my OPNsense device is "Enable/disable bridge mode". When I first moved in here, I tried doing that, but for some reason the IPv4 gateway on my OPNsense device wasn't picking up anything. I believe I had everything configured correctly, the Xfinity modem was in Bridge mode, and the OPNsense router was assigned the public IP address from my Xfinity account. This was four months ago, and it's very likely I missed something in the configuration, so it can't hurt to try again. The worst-case scenario is that I reset my Xfinity modem to factory defaults and continue to use that. But it would sure be nice if I could have more control over that portion of my internet.

Setting up Restic with rest-server

I recently decided to start using my own home server to store my dotfiles. The main reasons are simplicity, privacy, and security. I previously stored them in a repository on my GitHub account and installed them with Ansible, but I have increasingly found it cumbersome when trying to keep them updated and in sync. On GitHub, the changes (and mistakes!) I make to my dotfiles are publicly viewable; sometimes I'll make changes several times a day, sometimes scrapping a change entirely when I later realize it was not such a good idea or breaks something in my activity flow. I also would love the convenience of keeping SSH keys and GPG keychains in sync and updated, and storing them on a public server is obviously not an option, nor even in a private repository hosted on GitHub or GitLab.
