edit Gli-net seems nice, but i’m a stickler of using a WAP separate from the router. I know I pay more.
It’s exactly why I bought her two of them. One their main router and the other in AP mode ;)
not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?
I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I’d like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.
What’s your recommendation?
Never used them pal, but seen them used in Enterprise environments?
Something I’ve found on a SOHO environment though and what I bought a family member?
Gli-Net mini routers. They come with OpenWRT as a base and then lipstick it with a nice interface. But as always, YMMV
No doubt, and I would really love someone with more knowledge than me to poke into why that was going on (*edit: for clarity, this behaviour stopped after installing OpenWRT and is the stock Mi firmware that causes this)

My router is this model for anyone wanting to nosey
I’ve had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.
The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt
to download things, and I don’t 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.
Exactly, that’s why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.
It’s a boring computer that has my real name on it.
Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.
This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.
I’ve had a couple of vapid emails from VirginMedia for one (Animal Kingdom) of many TV shows I’ve downloaded over the years.
Shame they didn’t send it by snail mail, could’ve got some free toilet paper out of them then.
Some groups have allegedly used the “901” tag in their usernames to identify themselves, raising alarms among officials and parents alike
What does this mean? I can’t seem to find info on what a 901 tag even is.
Aye, I’ve given my old NAS enclosure to a family member and they’ve never been so happy having the arrrr stack running on it and I think it’s like magic to them still.
However one step at a time and I’ll get them off Google Photos (I’ve plonked Immich and Jellyfin on their bedroom n100 box) and Drive if it kills me. Screw this bullshit of paying to store our data only for them to double down and invade their privacy.
Why even bother pretending anymore or putting on this charade. It’s the same thing over and over again.
If one puts an indeterminate amount of red tape around an object / thing / thought, does one become entangled in said red tape?

No fuggin doubt.
And you know what irks me more is when you buy things from places like eBay or other third party seller websites (where you’ve consented to their cookies/terms) your email address you use with them is then in the hands of a goofball who’s had their personal business PC been compromised.
The few times I use eBay the email addy I use on their sees my inbox flooded. Fucking shitshow.
I’m aware of that, but I’m just pointing out many websites do not give you the consent options as stated above which imo are much more annoying.
It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.
Some don’t give you an option, but actually have a much cleaner interface imo.
Whether or not it’s better since you still have to click OK, some don’t let you reject them at all.
That’s kinda weird.
I’ve had a Meme11 Lite for a couple of years now and just bought another Poco. I don’t see no ads whatsoever, after I told Wallpaper Carousel to not nag me no more.
Alright I use NextDNS across router / device level but like I say I get none of these complaints and think it’s global releases for some?
I’m a capt’ three phones at the moment
While I’ve had my backup Samsung M12 with a 1pmobile SIM in my work locker for a couple of years now simply as an emergency backup, I’m also currently rocking two Xiaomi’s so I can test remote connections to a family members server via work WiFi/Tailscale.
My main issue is while I wear cargo pants at work, carrying two phones is more wieldy than you’d think and there’s also something else I did notice the other day with the Find My Device news.
I forgot where, I left my main phone the other day and my locker is a literal Faraday cage according to FMD? 10 minutes of panic :/
It’s just an app, not a lifestyle. 🤷
Now apply that thought to VLC and how many distros and apps use their libraries.
I thought I was a bit of a negative nancy but you take the cake 😆
You’d think they’d include an ethernet port on the device itself.
Or, hopefully they include a power brick with a RJ45 port. WiFi for streaming large high bitrate files is less than ideal especially if it’s touted as a set top streaming box.
Ya know this is a really good point and whether the network switch is managed, or unmanaged.
I’ve never delved into the black magic of playing with a managed switch before but your comment makes me eager to have a play with one now.
