Safely store secrets in Git using Blackbox
Blackbox is a great tool for securely storing secrets within a Git repository. It provides an easy-to-use PGP encryption system, which ensures that secrets are kept safe and secure. Furthermore, Blackbox can also be used in GitHub Actions as a secret repository, allowing developers to quickly load secrets into their pipelines. With its robust security and automated processes, Blackbox is an excellent tool for securely storing secrets within Git.

Blackbox - Secrets amongst your code
One of the major concerns amongst developers is how to store shared secrets. Storing secrets in a config file along with your source code is problematic as it can compromise privacy. Storing it outside without proper process or documentation can tend to be forgotten (not saying this is not good as using SAAS tools like Vault is the way to go). But in case you have a limited budget and limited capability, using GPG is the way to go. Here comes Blackbox.

Router for a 1.5Gbps connection
One option is Firewalla Gold Plus, or you could buy a mini PC like it and run pfSense/OPNsense yourself.

Have the IT skills you've learnt applied to life outside of work?
Download and install pfsense as a virtual machine or partition: https://www.pfsense.org Configure it with the rules you want: https://youtu.be/VAGFGppSt74 Play with it, but be careful because it will block all traffic unless you check everything properly.

Looking for Recommendations
Another option is Firewalla, or buy a mini PC like it and run pfSense/OPNsense yourself. Two similar concepts, with the cost being either money or your DIY time. A lot of Firewalla users say that it's much easier for home use than pfSense/OPNsense, so you might find it worthwhile to spend a little more on it upfront and have to tinker less.

VPN for network filtering
If you want firewall, I think you can use https://www.pfsense.org/ or https://opnsense.org/ , maybe running on an old PC or a Raspberry Pi. Not sure.

Looking for Guidance and Advice
I've recently started using OPNsense. It's similar to pfSense, but seems to be considered a little more user-friendly.

Bi-Weekly /r/Technology Tech Support / General Discussion Thread. Have you a tech question or want to discuss tech?
For most router issues, I recommend people always put them in to dumb bridge mode and put a proper firewall like pfsense or opnsense as your gateway.

Another ATT outage 5/15
I have found that my historical average packet loss is about 0.02%. Something distinctly changed around 4/20 of this year, and now the average packet loss has gone up to 0.05% with spikes even higher, associated with periods of elevated ping times. It rarely did that before. Typically the IPv6 stack has more problems than v4 (especially an incident of packet loss on 4/28), and neither has been trouble-free since I started service in early 2020. My data comes from a pfSense installation.
