Apparently I have limits

After the Big Outage, the EdgerouterX remains out of commission. I think now that I've sort of recovered from the whole ordeal of living off a hotspot for a week, I might be ready to zee it out and give things another shot from scratch, because I've got a few self-hosted things sitting on my Synology I wouldn't mind using again, like Linkding, and I had a pretty nice reverse proxy thing set up to give them all tidy, memorable hostnames.  

Sadly, the CenturyLink router is bad in a number of ways. Fortunately, speed isn't one of them. But it does some weird stuff that is baffling me that I never had to deal with when I was using the Edgerouter. The syno's reverse proxy stuff was fine, port forwarding was fine, etc. The CL router has laid all that to waste. 

I guess the nice thing is that Tailscale doesn't care about any of this: so I just noted the ports I was forwarding to for Linkding and a few other things, and I'm just letting go and letting Tailscale. It's secure, it's simple, and it "just works." It's not as tidy as it was, but I just want to make a goddamn bookmark and get on with my day instead of making use of those services contingent on navigating whatever the vagaries of PPPoE connections are.
