I have a fourth generation I7 with 8gb of ram running pfsense. Its free and you can’t beat it for baked in capabilities. I run pfblocker ng and snort to block ads maleware and useless(to me) telemety that my non linux machines send in regularly. Microsoft, Amazon and others. I also have wiregurad for vpn access to my home. You can also install the ntopng package and get really good realtime information on what is going on on your network. For years I used open wrt but the two don’t really compare. If you had to compare, openwrt is like a geo metro and pfsense is like a sports car.

a new non dlink router. Since the should be named f-link for a number of reasons.

I’ve started removing trash sites. I blocked twatter and reddit at my router.

No, no! Dogshit sometimes fertilizes and promotes growth. Microsoft teams is poison.

Talk about an impotent response. Pretty simple way around that.

Yeah, go live somewhere else. /s

I don’t want to see a end to copyright. I want it restored to what it was. Where the creator had a copyright for limited amount of time then everyone had a copyright to the work.

Now that time is beyond the amount of time that someone inspired by a copyrighted work could create some derivative of it. Unless you think someone inspired as a child would feel like bringing that inspiration to fulfilment as an elderly adult is going to happen often.

You mean they have been letting it slip?

Good idea. Its of the main reason why education today is faltering. Allowing too many screen in the class room is simply a bad idea. These kids have the no ability to stay focused in any way. They way they learn guarantees many will never learn to read without a screen and the internet. I see it often in my current job.

You, you have, you have me Du, du hast, du hast mich

Fear is the primary emotion of any dude who calls or thinks themselves a alpha.

Shit. I guess my or anyone else’s loyalty hasn’t mattered. I’ve bought two competing products during the drought and now we are going to have maximum suckage from them since the investors will be driving the bus now. How long before they intentionally hold back functionality and hide it behind some bullshit subscription?

Musk has tantrum. Just another day ending in y.

Depends. Are you this guy?

Only if they can hardwire all the data collection in. That is too big of a money maker for them to give up.

Send a huge bill and then sue for payment. Let them fight the fight for you.

MUuuhhaaaaa. I worked for a cable company for a little over a decade. I remember commenting when people everywhere were talking about its death that streaming would soon be just like cable. They called me a fool. MUuuhhaaaaa!

Its a downgrade. It offers nothing but ads. Who wants ads? Why do they feel the need to keep altering the interface? If microsoft manufactured automobiles they would switch the brake and gas pedals every other year.

I guess this ones about time then. My clock is in the upper right corner.
