“And if that don’t work, use more gun!”

– America in a nutshell

DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAA

I once setup MikroTik routers… they were cool, but the ipv6 implementation required manual intervention - this is not something you want with an isp that dynamically rotates their ipv6 addresses often. Once I discovered pfSense/OPNSense, it was so much better in configurability and ease of upgrade, as those OSses are FreeBSD-based and designed to run on PCs.

This, right here, has been my experience every time.

Also when you run a complicated setup with over a dozen VLANs, policy routing for failover internet on specific vlans, and nat66 support due to secondary internet only giving you a /64, yeah… not fun having to set all that up because the updater breaks, yeah… no.

Every single time I’ve setup OpenWRT, keeping it updated was much more painful than anything else, even ASUS WRT-Merlin was easier to keep updated.

I use Unifi Access Points for wifi

OpenWRT is cool, but I prefer OPNSense because unlike OpenWRT, you can actually upgrade OPNSense in its UI without requiring linux partition surgery.

Remember kids, whatever Linux Distro you installed, it’s the wrong one…

So, snake oil

No permissions, unable to do some advanced blocking stuff, unable to pull an updated list of ad urls (which means you have to update the extension to get updated ad lists), and so on

All you need is a frequency modulator and to send four pulses of a specific amplitude at the right time in sequence, and then all the bullet costs are discounted.

“¡Muchos gracias, señor!”

I’m sorry, but I would have that drive maxed out in a week, even if I only use on demand cloud storage. Go 1TB or go home.

Every single kid in class: “…”

Gemini eats glue. Claude and ChatGPT are a lot more coherent.

“But think of the jobs the meteor will create!”

It’s an option on the latest Android - anti-theft measures. It reboots / locks your phone if it detects grab and go activity - using your phone and thief grabs your phone and runs. It also does it if the internet is turned off.
