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.

We do, twice a year and it annoys me no end since I work some shitty continental hours and sometimes have to watch the clock go backwards through the night.

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

:facepalm:

Completely missed the non-capitalisation on the HTC one. Oops

I had both HTC One’s and while the camera on both of them especially the m7 was dire purple durple shite, the battery life was never an issue for me and was when I first started seeing 6hr+ SOT constantly.

Telegram has the very public, very purposeful eye of the government on it right now.

Which, “government”, are you referring to here if you could expand please?

Or are you saying all governments are averse to Telegram?

Yep yep I bought a family member a couple of those fancy GLi routers that come with AdGuard built in.

It’s scary what a household’s tracked without it would look like, and they are none the wiser to the shit getting sinkholed to this day thankfully.

I’m down to 10% bollocks via NextDNS

and aim to bring it down further by dumping any apps/services that want to bum fugg me.

I felt like a right noobie when one of my colleagues said he’d got a Pixel tablet via the Play Store and asked him how he’d won it.

Apparently I don’t install and play shittons of games like them.

£500 was tempting to look into it further but as you say, that news pissed me off because I now know my mum is gonna install some bullshit that one of those guys might have picked up on.
