RouterOS has WG built in as well as ZeroTier. RouterOS has become quite powerful lately, but make sure you have at least an ARM/ARM64 CPU for it.

All of my remote routers are running RouterOS without anything on top of it. RouterOS is powerful enough for anything I throw on it. But I am using much beefier routers, I have 2 x 5009 and a HAP AX3 which have plenty of flash and ram ro run the additional packages I need.
As for normal computers, I have it on a UPS and I backup core files to off-site areas. Additionally, I buy SSDs that have a little bit of powerloss protection.
I've never had issues with mini PCs but I've had issues with PIs. I've since switched to high endurance SD cards for my Pis and they've been rock solid. One's actually semi exposed to the elements for about a year now without a hiccup.
With RouterOS you can still use DoH with either a self hosted list or a selected ad list. If you want to selfhost a DNS server I'd just host a Adguard Home instance on a VPS for all of your devices.
I also have 2 VPN system for my remote management on 2 separate systems. I learned that the hard way when one of my clients is 8 timezones away.
IMHO if it supports VIA or QMK they earn a win for me.
I've been bit by the medium format bug. Been shooting a lot of 120 film lately.
I want to get some time for astro though, it's been a passion but living in the city makes it difficult.
Just do something to get banned ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
We're all burning just one of us is burning a little faster.
I hope that European consumer boycotts work. It won't be easy but I hope it creates the waves needed for our corporate overlords to start paying off politicians to allow better relationships between the EU and USA. But one can only hope.
My ISP blocks all outgoing ports. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough but anything I try port forwarding ends up getting blocked.
Minecraft and port 80 are the 2 I've tried and they've been unresponsive
A lot are moving through software defined networking which runs at RAM speeds.
But typically responsiveness is quite important in a virtualized environment.
InfiniBand could run theoretically at 2400gbps which is 300GB/s.
I travel on the go often, wireless charging is too inefficient for me. I'd rather charge with my PD battery pack.
Another point, I use my PD pack to charge everything from my phone, drone, camera, to my laptop, ear buds.
Most of those don't have a wireless charger so I just stick to wired PD charging.
I'm using the rb5009 but im using RouterOS not openwrt. Any reason why you'd want to do that?
I personally think if you're buying a purpose built hardware and then putting your own software on it, you should move to a mini computer with OpnSense.
I'm switching my immich instance to an SSD one and switching my VPN from zerotier to tailscale.
Hopefully that means my Immich will be a little more reactive.
I can play zero dawn on mine and boy did it make train rides tolerable.
