The downvote(s) on your comment were really saddening, though I was expecting exactly that when reading it few hours ago. This is sadly a trend with any discussion platform becoming "popular" past a certain threshold - the presenc

Out of curiosity, what is your reason to run DD-WRT on a GL? Considering you have Shibby also deployed and are thus presumably familiar with its feature set, is there something in DD-WRT that makes it particularly important to have on the G

For the moment, you still can, in a certain way. I've just made another lengthier comment about it elsewhere in the thread [1], before noticing yours which sadly got buried at the very bottom. [1] - https://news.ycombinator.

Semi-hijacking your question to mention the other side of the pond too, which many people do not seem to know about and I run into this issue quite regularly. While the laptop situation is indeed pretty bad (the X200 is probably as best as

I can confirm that sadly - this exactly mirrors my own experiences with DDG XMPP. Sometimes for entire weeks I have been what looked like the only person reporting (or caring) that the XMPP servers are down (mind you that this was years ago

I second that. I browse, guessing, about 95% of the public web with NoScript + uBlock on and unless the content that doesn't work without JS is especially crucial to what I'm doing at the moment, I'll just leave the page that

Few minor corrections as several posts in this thread suggest outright installing bash just to achieve tab completion in FreeBSD. The default root shell on FreeBSD is csh (tcsh) [1] and has been that way for at least 21 years (at least if I
