No. There have been many attempts at this, and just as many failures. Centralization is not the answer.

The game has been free for 16 years. This is the paid version to support the devs, literally because they're getting old and they have medical bills to pay.

LOL is that the only thing you know how to do? Just put your own bullshit in quotes and act like somebody actually said that? Sounds stupid and pointless, but maybe fun. Let me try:

"I can't deal when somebody criticizes a dumb article about a dumb light show that I posted, so I'll be overly defensive, make up nonsense, and put words in others' mouths that they didn't say. Goo goo ga ga, etc."

Boring.

It also runs like crap, even on decent hardware. I don't get why people love it so much....

They said they were looking for privacy-focused, open source options. So get a Unifi AP and flash OpenWRT on it, and that fits the bill.

There are a lot of APs that can be reflashed to run OpenWRT in AP mode.

  1. More control. I can make a homemade PFSense router that gives me enterprise grade features like VLANS, VPN options and advanced firewall rules.

  2. Performance. A dedicated AP from Unifi or Armada is more powerful and stable than most consumer wireless routers.

  3. Price. Building a decent setup yourself actually pretty cost effective compared to high-end consumer routers.

It's DEFINITELY NOT for everyone, but if you're a nerd with some networking skills and time to spare you can make a baller enterprise-grade home network for under $300. My budget setup made from used components blows any $500 "premium" router away.

Because OP is asking about APs, not a router/firewall.

[–] PeachMan@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Apparently you can flash OpenWRT on some Unifi APs, though I've never tried it personally. I have a Unifi AP (with stock firmware) connected to my DIY PFSense box and it's working great.

Plastic recyling is absolute nonsense. And crappy drone batteries RARELY get recycled in reality. And recycling shouldn't be the first thing you think of: REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE. There's a reason it's third in the list, it's the least important and effective tool.

I'm just trying to be realistic rather than participating in pointless virtue signaling.

I'm smart enough to know that there's a lot I don't know, and I took enough psychology classes to know that IQ tests are basically made-up nonsense. Comparing your intelligence to others is a losing battle and a waste of time.
