Ya know this is a really good point and whether the network switch is managed, or unmanaged.

I’ve never delved into the black magic of playing with a managed switch before but your comment makes me eager to have a play with one now.

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

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.

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

Why even bother pretending anymore or putting on this charade. It’s the same thing over and over again.

If one puts an indeterminate amount of red tape around an object / thing / thought, does one become entangled in said red tape?

No fuggin doubt.

And you know what irks me more is when you buy things from places like eBay or other third party seller websites (where you’ve consented to their cookies/terms) your email address you use with them is then in the hands of a goofball who’s had their personal business PC been compromised.

The few times I use eBay the email addy I use on their sees my inbox flooded. Fucking shitshow.

I’m aware of that, but I’m just pointing out many websites do not give you the consent options as stated above which imo are much more annoying.

It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.

Some don’t give you an option, but actually have a much cleaner interface imo.

Whether or not it’s better since you still have to click OK, some don’t let you reject them at all.

Very true.

I generally just use my ceramic bladed hair cutter on 0 when I’m not required to have a clean, clean shave, and then like I say above just use a BIC when I need a baby’s bum face for work etc.

The twin / triple blades I find can be off-putting to some since if you have too much growth they latch on and snag.

Yeah, we’ve got something I recall being called the P-laws or something brought in, meaning all new sockets need to be a certain height above floor level.

I’ve seen many rented houses here that still have them on the floor since older builds ain’t required to rectify them. Scary if you see all the recent flooding we’ve been having in some parts of the country :/

But those three pin / fused BS 1363 whilst been one of the safest sockets you can get, I can confirm they’re an absolute bastard if you stand on one.
