GL.iNet actually has a decent UI too. When I’m on the road I don’t necessarily love hitting the CLI (okay fine I secretly do); they keep the updates going for a long time too.
It’s weird, I never really wanted to own a house until I experienced the LA area rental market. But buying will probably never be an option for us even with dual six figure incomes. 😞
Ours recently raised it by $100 too but we don’t complain because it’s way cheaper than the local market. We consider ourselves lucky, but it’s still a an expense that makes life painful.
I’ve been using a password manager for ages, and passkeys for a long time now.
What about passkeys is a loss of control? I’m 100000000% more likely to use them when supported, usernames/passwords are so janky, as are SMS/email-based 2FA (and the stupid “magic passcode” that makes you check your phone/email every time you sign in); for average users it greatly reduces the risk of phishing, etc.
If I want to delete one I can do just that.
Websites that require username/password + passkeys are annoying as hell though.
As someone who hates corporate social media (and TikTok especially), I can’t figure out if banning TikTok is a legit security issue or racist. I’d love to see it go, but I can’t seem to form an opinion on the matter despite reading up on it several times.
No, people would rather abuse animals if there’s any alternative.
Just start asking people why they won’t eat fake meat and you’ll get all kinds of irrational half-assed answers about how we need to continue locking up animals. Hell, animal abusers will bash lab-grown meat — they’ll do literally anything but acknowledge their actions contribute to animal misery.
No, mesh networks’ APs use WiFi to connect to each other so that eventually client traffic reaches one that can finally route to the wired network. Client traffic doesn’t go through one AP to immediately reach the wired network.
I’m talking about a traditional network where everything is wired together using Ethernet (probably to a switch) so that client traffic on the AP immediately reaches the wired network from that AP without that AP then relying on another one to reach the wired network.
This arrangement is still common today on business networks and was so before the term “mesh” became popular in consumer routers.
Thanks for this: so sick of seeing “mesh” WiFi everywhere, what a load of trash. Just set up access points with roaming capability, actually use the correct broadcast power (instead of trying to blast it off to space), etc. I’ll never understand why people want their backhaul going over WiFi; yikes.
Personally I’d die for Ethernet straight into my unit, I had that once in a new building and it was fantastic (though you still had to pay an ISP individually), if only to avoid cable modems and the like. My current cable ISP wouldn’t provision IPv6 to their very own (old, clunky) modem so I had to go out and buy one that doesn’t care whether or not it’s provisioned.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted for this. Even with CGNAT and related technologies, each modem still has a unique MAC address at the cable/DOCSIS level (even without loading Ethernet on top).
Where you could be wrong is buildings with large networks, say an apartment building with wired Ethernet to all the units but all being routed through the same WAN(s), but even still I’d hope that the network is managed in a way that it’s not hard to tell which unit is which IP internally. Unrelated but I’d also pray that each unit is on its own VLAN for security.
We have power outages from time to time in my part of SoCal, but the power lines cross through a fire hazard zone. Guess what’s causing it to become more hazardous? Climate change.
This is more about modernizing the grid and adapting to climate change (caused in large part by fossil fuels), and I’m happy to live in a state that invests in infrastructure while trying to solve the problems we’ve been dealt. I can’t say my native red state was doing anything remotely productive (unless the fed was handing out money of course).
