  • You’re best off splitting the routing and WiFi tasks into separate hardware. Buy yourself a used ruckus unleashed r550/650 or r510/610 depending on how much you want to spend for wifi then run routing on whatever hardware is fit for purpose. I usually slap OPNsense on something like a dell/wyse 5070 j5005 mini PC, any mini PC with a PCIe slot will allow you to build a 1/2.5/10GbE router with open software. Chinese N100 router boxes are cheap now too, or you could reuse an old mini PC of some kind.

    I don’t like rolling my own router using arm boards anymore, router distro support for them is unreliable and j5005 pulls <10W anyway.

    +1, I absolutely loathe the twitter model of discussion because it’s a huge mess of out of order replies and random spam. Individual discussion posts with tree threaded comments are way, way, way more effective at keeping discussion relevant and directed. Also +1 re: moderation, social media functions best with effective, vigorous, moderation and the twitter model just sucks there.

    It’s not even much of a skill anymore now that there’s so much focus on natural language question and answer. You can straight up Google “how do I X?” And get a relevant answer for just about anything.

    Edit: I’m not even talking about generative AI here, googling simple questions without using AI worked well before the AI craze.
