It's a web server base config configurator relating to initial comms. Authentication mechanisms are way out of scope for this.

Teams will always work in a browser, so make hay whilst the sun shines. Sadly bits fall off depending on which browser you use. Firefox seems to have fallen out of favour and can no longer share. Chromium efforts still seem to work OK. I

Quite. It will hit the occasional something, eventually. If nothing else it will be mildly bathed in radiation of some sort.

I watched it the first time around in a cinema in West Germany. That was a British cinema in Deutchland - a BFBS jobbie. Times have changed somewhat!

Wifi isn't quite solved on any platform. It is also quite hard to decide what solved really looks like! My wife and I have identical HP laptops. Her's runs Arch (as you do), with KDE and mine runs Kubuntu 25.10 at the mo. Both us

I remember a hack, back in the day, on Linux where a Windows wifi driver was used via a thing called NDISwrapper. Be patient and hopefully you'll soon be looking back on your Linux VM bodge in the rear view mirror.

I used to have a rather short, pithy gmail address back in the day. I binned it for gerdesj@ instead - a username which I use nearly everywhere. A one char ID on a web app is all very well but is the extra hassle worth it?

Do you mean source or destination address verification or both? Source address verification doesn't really mean anything (no-reply@example.co.uk) and destination verification is obvious and as far as I am aware pretty much no-one doesn

American companies were appropriating IP or trade secrets as they were called when Birmingham was known as Brummagen. Nowadays we have China, int al, doing the same sort of job. Nothing changes.

"suggested masts are better as integral parts of ships rather than bolt on after thoughts." It seems quite mad that we even need to debate this. Wind is free power and we have at least 2000 years of engineering to draw on how to

That is my approach. It requires quite a few components to work: * Multiple VLANs - segregate devices - I usually have two for IoT devices: "THINGS" and "SEWER" * Router/firewall segregation * Home Assistant * etc

Cheddar is a small town and a gorge in Somerset, UK. I live close by. Switzerland is an entire country with sodding great mountains and lakes, multiple towns, cities and a lot of worryingly loved leather clothing. How on earth can you reduc

There are largely three types of cheese in the US: Swiss, American and Cheddar. I live near to Cheddar (Somerset, UK) but I'm not going to get too outraged. All countries, without exception, do something unpleasant to an ingredient or

Quite right. However, if your wifi bridge has an option for auto tuning the power then that might be a future proofing option, assuming that everyone uses it, which they probably won't sigh If wifi becomes a pain within a shared bui

What is wrong with Motown? You seem to be picking on a US city as an example of (something) and attempting to apply (something) to the entirety of the UK that isn't a particular city in the UK. Are you sure that is a wise comparison?
