In the US they are usually governed as real estate legally. You can resell it, but most people aren't interested in paying the maintenance fees. You'll find all sorts of timeshares out there being resold for 1$ because they just don't want to pay the maintenance fee anymore.

The -k argument on my openssl accepts a passphrase, not a file. You likely encrypted with the filename as the secret, not it's contents. Perhaps you should use -kfile instead.

$ openssl aes-256-cbc -help
Usage: aes-256-cbc [options]

General options:
 -help               Display this summary
 -list               List ciphers
 -ciphers            Alias for -list
 -e                  Encrypt
 -d                  Decrypt
 -p                  Print the iv/key
 -P                  Print the iv/key and exit
 -engine val         Use engine, possibly a hardware device

Input options:
 -in infile          Input file
** -k val              Passphrase**
 -kfile infile       Read passphrase from file

IANAEE. For an on-board application you can create a simple switch with a transistor. https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/transistor/tran_4.html

To make something wireless you'll probably want to go with a microcontroller or Raspberry Pi and hook up GPIO pins to the motor controls. A transistor wouldn't be needed in that case as the microcontroller can hold the pin high or low depending on what state you want.

I purchased an enclosed rack like this many years ago, but I'm glad I never used it. They are a pain to cool properly. Most of these types of rack will not come fully enclosed, with the front or sides being steel but with air holes for good airflow. The one I purchased was a StarTech.

Racks are usually counted in height by U (unit) which is a standard server height, so look for something in the 12-25U range. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_unit

I believe the one I purchased was a 32U with wheels and it was around 1500 USD plus freight (it arrived on a pallet).

What you're likely looking for is a wall mount rack. Wall mounted racks are going to be the same width (usually 19" 2 or 4-post) but will vary by depth. You won't be able to put a full length server in a wall mount as it's designed for half-depth network equipment, but should serve your stated need quite well. 19" shelf mounts are available too.

The amount of Windows bashing in this thread is hilarious, for what amounts to Enterprise grade DNS-over-TLS with additional whitelisting. Doesn't help the home user, but likely won't break home users internet access either.

Perhaps they should ask Copilot how their templating system works.

As an aside, these are the client logs, check the /var/log/ auth.log or secure files or journalctl to see if the server logged why the access was denied.

I've been watching this guy's backlog on building a kernel and bootloader from scratch. A bit monotone but amazing technical knowledge. https://youtube.com/@nanobyte-dev
