Oof. Dump that router and get yourself something nice, like a Unifi router. Or go the DIY route and build an OPNsense box.
OPNsense is the way I’m gonna go after my OG UDM shits the bed. But it’s almost 7 years old and still kicking…
Edit: I saw this post from dbzer0, so it appears to be working well.

I heard proxmox is like pseudo open source
Proxmox is open source. They use a customized Linux kernel (based on Ubuntu’s newer kernel) to add support for other features that are useful in datacenter environments, like ZFS and such.
The only thing they paywall is access to their enterprise production-ready repositories. But they still offer free access to their non-production repo.

Smart.

I did, actually! Got a couple ESP32s set up for Bermuda, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to make it…work.

I have an HP Proliant G2 tower server case from the early 2000s. Its got 9 drive bays (if you include the floppy drive bay).
Hilariously, it’s ATX compatible, so I stuffed it with an older Asus motherboard (7th gen Intel + i7-7700T, w/NVME slot), 16GB DDR4 RAM, ~650W ATX PSU, and an LSI SAS card. Now I just need to migrate everything over to it from my older Mac Mini that’s currently serving as the NAS…

100%. Home Assistant has proven to be incredibly useful in my house. My wife loves it for the laundry notifications, the fact that I essentially replaced Life360 with it (Traccar, really, but it ties into HA so nicely), and the automated lighting: our basement (the younger kids’ play area), and themed lighting for the outdoor lights.
We’ve been fighting tangled toilet flapper chains over the last few years. The tangled chain keeps the flapper from closing, which causes the tank to continuously run into the bowl, which causes my water bill to skyrocket if gone unnoticed (we have 5 kids, 4 toilets, and the chains get tangled no matter what I do: new chain, longer chain, shorter chain, different type of chain/string/twine, etc… I blame the hard water). I finally got fed up, so I bought and installed a zigbee water level sensor for each toilet tank, then whipped up an automation which notifies us via Android’s “alarm_stream” notification channel if a sensor has been dry for longer than a few minutes. That channel overrides DND, and I am going to add an entry to ping my HA Voice thing as well in case we don’t have our phones on us.

I’ve never run a full blown Debian OS
Ubuntu is literally just Debian with Canonical’s bullshit on top.

I tend towards ubuntu lts pro with automatic upgrades and reboots.
This can be done easily on Debian, too. Without an artificial limitation.

Don’t use Ubuntu as a server. Pretty much every server application will run happily on Debian, meanwhile Canonical keeps adding/changing shit that is Ubuntu-specific and has broken otherwise-functioning server installations. I may or may not have personal experience with this.
Ubuntu used to be the go-to, but Canonical is quickly becoming the poster child for Linux enshittification.
For servers, use Debian and never think about it again. Except the one or two times a year it should probably be rebooted because of kernel updates.
