My RB3011 has been pretty much rock solid for me. If you don't mind me asking - what kinds of issues have you run into?

Sadly not. You generally have to be very technically inclined to use something like Mikrotik (which is what I'm using) and even the Ubiquiti stuff isn't as easy to use as it could be.

Reading stuff like this makes me glad I ditched consumer grade all-in-one stuff and went with a $REAL (feel free to substitute appropriate brand) router and stand alone AP.

For me, WireGuard isn't really a viable option because I want functional mDNS name resolution. As a test, I did set up a vxlan tunnel through a wireguard tunnel (linux to linux) to prove that it is possible to get that working. Howeve

I ordered a few back in the day - the sleeve design was really nicely done.

There was also that time many, many years ago they decided to remove the ability to load binary firmware blobs for things like network cards in the kernel because of an interesting interpretation of the GPL. :-/

I really wonder why Mozilla employees think it is acceptable to do that without informed consent for users running Windows. No one would tolerate Mozilla installing a binary in ~/bin/ and configuring it to be run via user crontab

While this is a nice development, I personally still require running VMs and Hyper-V's GUI/console support is so limited I'm going to be forced to stick with VirtualBox for VMs. Fortunately, Cygwin is fine for basic shell&#x2

I use btrfs in raid1 mode and the ability to shrink/grow/add/remove devices at will without data loss or extended downtime led me to choose btrfs over zfs on my home servers.

That particular bug (having my container setup get blown away) has happened to me several times along with other bugs like not properly restoring tabs in the designated container when you restart FF to apply an update. Bugs like that would

I find it ironic that I go to read an article about banning people from accessing content and get greeted with the following: Error 1005 Ray ID: 545442d6fa2aec4e • 2019-12-15 00:22:04 UTC Access denied What happened? The owner of

I'm running 18.04 LTS and Gnome 3 is unusable due to lag/resource consumption on a i7-2600 system with an nVidia 710 GT whereas Unity runs butter smooth. Unity doesn't get in the way of me interacting with my desktop applicat

If only I could somehow coax info to render all subnodes into a single page and then pipe it through less it'd be useful to me.

Telcos are not incentivized to do much about this problem because they get paid by the scammers to complete their calls. As long as telcos continue to make money from these fraudulent calls, the problem will continue to exist. I'm not

I'm glad to see that they are finally focusing some serious attention on these performance problems. I found the default gnome shell to be so poorly performing as to be unusable in Ubuntu 18.04 on a core i7-2600 system with dedicated

Same here - FF for general web browsing and Microsoft Edge Dev for dev tooling on Windows. I haven't uninstalled Chrome completely yet but that day is quickly approaching.

It's not just executables. I once caught Microsoft Defender sending copies of sensitives files like places.sqlite out of my Firefox profile directory to Redmond. Needless to say, I disabled that feature permanently via local policy.

I'm generally happy with my RB3011 but you are very much correct that it isn't meant for a typical end user. Many QoL things that a consumer level router + TomatoUSB firmware does for you are either difficult to set properly set

For those that would like to try a mechanical keyboard without necessarily investing $$$$$ in one, I'm quite happy with my ~$60USD 104 key Tecware Phantom with Outemu brown switches. Much better than any membrane based keyboard I'

Yeah, now that I think about it I suppose it is natural for businesses to find ways to minimize those types of costs. I guess part of me doesn't want to see Fry's become another Radio Shack.

With the end of cheap international shipping from China via USPS looming on the horizon, I wonder if we'll start to see a resurgence in specialty electronic stores like Fry's.

Yep. Such a simple solution that covers 90% of spam/scam problem and yet I still have to install 3rd party dialer apps on Android to get that functionality. :(

At least in my area Spectrum/TWC service has 400 mbps down and 20 mbps up. Still not great but far better than the old days.
