I've been using Linksys E4200's with (Fresh)Tomato firmware for about 10 years now. Recently one failed and I think, due to all the claims about new wifi "versions", the more modern devices should provide better performance, so I've been reading some stuff every now and then and looking for a new setup.

People with knowledge (tm) who I semi-trust all seem to point at different devices for the wired and wireless part. Some even say you should split the router from the switch (so you can do a managed switch with vlans and stuff) but I will never use any of that and even my E4200's can handle vlans just fine. I do get that using dedicated access points has its advantages but it does get quite a bit more expensive.

On the other end, a lot of brand names are now using Chinese chips in their routers and devices like the GL.iNet MT6000 seem to be one of the current favorites on the openwrt forums (and seems to be a very powerful device). I think I'm still going to go for a separated setup but I've got no clue which devices yet.

Fwiw, Louis Rossmann recommends some things.

Biggest hurdle would be timing, if you want it sound right.. Every speaker should be in sync as much as possible

Basically every serious mailserver package has imapsync included. I don't know what kind of hardware you're running and what you expect from the server doing the copying but running webmail, search indexes, antivirus, etc will cost you ram. There are solutions aimed at keeping backups of your mail though, I can't give you recommendations, the only thing I remember is that they don't give you a normal webmail or imap, instead you get a web-interface aimed at searching through the backup(s)

I adored my HP Veer, I bet that if I get a working one in my hands I'll blind-type flawless again in seconds, I was better on that thing than any full size keyboard. Best phone I've ever had because of the keyboard and the ease of customization when you know Javascript. Screen was a bit too small (I consider every modern phone way, way too big) and speed could've been better but wasn't bad.

I don't know for sure but I think it's the current, higher voltage will bridge a bigger gap/higher resistance but a human body doesn't have that high of a resistance and car batteries are capable of providing plenty of current (I think?)

Walking, or running, is good for your brain in almost every way. My depression was/is coupled with social anxiety so it was hard to get myself to do it but things like walking to the grocery store instead of biking/car helped me change that into 'I'll take a detour'.

The worst hobbies for me are the ones that are done sitting still, or anything that 'creates' a different 'reality/world'. For me that was anything behind my pc. Woodworking is better for me and allows me not to worry about social stuff but walking is definitely better for my brain.

Most motorcycle crashes happen at low speed, then inexperienced riders, then after winter, or something like that. So, ride year round, a lot and always fast (don't).

Fortnine has a good video about it with some statistics, it kinda boils down to always wear all the gear, like others here have said, and ease into it after a break. Whether it's a week or 6 months, a day you haven't ridden, is a day you've lost feeling for YOUR bike. (that last sentence is my addition)

I ride a lot, have for years, ride like a hooligan sometimes and have laid down my bike 3 times, all below 30km/h.

2nd, but with just a bash script. Also, I'm forwarding http & https to different IPs and the best thing about cloudflare is that you can restrict those ports to only be open when coming from cloudflare's proxy. I like the extra layer of security, and dislike that they can see all traffic..

Ik leer het meeste door mijn eigen plan te trekken en gewoon te doen, zonder tijdsdruk en wanneer ik er zin in heb, met de materialen waarmee ik het wil doen (vooral recycled hout). Een kant en klaar plan van internet met nieuwe materialen heeft waarschijnlijk een grotere kans van slagen, als je er meer aan over wil houden dan ervaring is dat misschien een betere manier om te leren. Maar ik denk dat je wel minder snel leert omdat alles al is uitgedacht (en je dus minder fouten maakt).

Ik heb altijd dingen gemaakt die ik wou hebben in huis, sommige dingen bleken overbodig of slecht uitgevoerd, andere beter dan wat ik in de winkel ben tegengekomen. Maar alles kost meer tijd dan je denkt en als je gaat haasten maak je fouten. Die fouten zijn leerzaam maar wanneer je ze maakt omdat je er klaar mee bent heb je veel minder interesse in hoe het had gemoeten.

Dirty, cracked screen protector, slow as shit, still does what I need it to do.
