Some of you may be wondering will I be installing Debian to desktop as well?
Answer yes. In fact I’ll be building a dedicated machine just for Debian. Now the build is not an insane build. It is good enough to do what I want with Debian:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - A10-9700E 3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($89.88 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: Noctua - NH-L9a-AM4 33.8 CFM CPU Cooler ($79.95 @ Newegg Marketplace)
Motherboard: ASRock - A320M-DGS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($49.49 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($94.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Crucial - BX300 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Apex - DM-387 HTPC Case w/275W Power Supply ($46.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Monitor: Sceptre - E205W-1600 20.0" 1600x900 60Hz Monitor ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $481.28

Like I said this not an insane build. This computer will have it’s own dedicated space, monitor [not the best monitor but it’ll work for what I’m doing], keyboard and mouse which are spares I’m not using at the moment. This build will happen eventually but not this year or next so parts will likely change and be altered.

Neat so this works now, setup DNS over TLS on my router with Cloudflares DNS and imported a packet capture on my outbound VPN interface into wireshark and all DNS requests are sent through TLS.

When I made this sit wasn’t an option at the time. Yeah it would make more since to go that route for 10 more dollars. List has now been updated:

I guess the person from Amazon Support I chatted with yesterday pulled some strings for me. Instead of April 6th-7th I’ll get my boxset on the 5th. What are the odds being matched with another Twin Peaks fan, talking about an order of a Twin Peaks boxset, eh?

Everything in my mind is screaming at me that it is wrong. Yet I can’t help and look and wonder WTH.
