The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I’d usually bring the Willy joke out but I’m with them on this one.

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 ;)

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)

I remember finding this thread where someone said they replaced their entire networking equipment

My router is this model for anyone wanting to nosey

This reminds me of some peeps saying using Newpipe is “(app) piracy”. I wholly disagree with them to this day.

If a website, which YouTube.com is and allows a client to connect and use its services it isn’t, piracy per se.

Much like because I have a UK IP address I can hit up get_iplayer and use that service which IMO should be the norm.

e: apologies for not been helpful, I’m just ranting.

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.

Yeah, I’m a Britbong and apparently we’re regarded for knowing satire when it stares us in the face.

And we’ve also had the simple truth that the Germans at one point were terribad at it but are now nailing it down, especially when you come to the above users calling it “satire”.

It’s a shit joke in very bad taste no matter where you’re from or whatever political spectrum you’re aligned to. Made me giggle to be honest, and especially so how you downvoted for not getting lel joke.

Tally ho’

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.

Thing is though there’s around 12-24 bottles per case depending on the size of the bottles.

Our fastest filler here at work does 36,000 bottles an hour, so you definitely won’t be getting 13,000 cases in 30 seconds I can assure ya ;)

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.

Gravity was spot on that day

tldr: You need to learn instead of sucking blood and/or being a bot

It’s possible the hackers had access for months or longer to networks the U.S China country uses to make lawful requests for communications data, the newspaper wrote.

I’d be curious how that works on the opposite end of surveillance states.

I’m pretty sure GCHQ here likes my noods

That’s strange. When I click the link from my front page feed I get the above but clicking from the comment section it’s fine 🤔

Aye, I’ve seen this misconception before and suspect it’s specific countries in the European continent where you have to register.

I don’t know if you’re in the UK right now but I can tell you right now that I can go round the corner and buy a SIM card in cash plus a top-up voucher, from someone like this guy

https://www.coregroup.co.uk/assets/img/cards/independent-retail-sim-distribution.jpg

No you don’t.

I can go to the corner shop/local garage right now, buy a SIM card for 99p and then buy a top-up voucher in cash to have a completely anonymous phone number.

Albeit is the UK in Europe again? 🙈

edit: where I would be worried if my privacy was on the line is I could also go to the local pawn shop / Cash Converters to ensure that SIM card isn’t associated with an IMEI I’ve previously used and buy in cash a cheapo phone.
