Dropped 50 watts off the card. What do u mean?

Been running mint for years with eveything ok. Built a new system with amd and had to start looking elsewhere for an os. Endeavour to the rescue. I have a ryzen 9900x and a 9070. Few issues early but superb so far.

Long time mint user ungraded to amd 9900x and 9070 so needed a newer kernel.

Tried mainline but did not work.

Switched to endeavour os.

I do miss mint used it for years after ubuntu changed de.

A change once in a while is good.

Yep got it myself.

Debian & ubuntu sudo apt install keepalived

sudo apt install libipset13

On the router.

My router is locked down so i assign the vrrp address to wach client (pain in the ass) but it works.

Pivpn takes care or wireguard too.

2 pihole instances 1 pi5 1 pi4 Keepalived provides vrrp at a set address.

Instances kept in sync via orbital

1 goes down the other takes over.

Quite elegantly.

Lighttpd ran into a dns issue mid update. And it dif not complet and left the aformentioned webserver running.

Removed with apt and voilla.
