Thing is, its EOL, per Asus. Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?

OpenWRT tends to support devices longer and better than the OEM, but it depends on the popularity of the chipset inside the router.

Many different routers by different companies are almost identical internally, because they use the same chipset. Eg the RT-AC3100 seems to be a bcm53xx variant, of which OpenWRT supports a few dozen products. Support will probably only be dropped when every single one of those devices goes EOL and several years pass (ie no people left contributing/maintaining it and the builds break somehow).

Router chipsets can be very long lived. Many new devices use decade old chipset designs. Some chipset families have almost identical chips released every few years with slightly different peripherals, clocks & pinouts; but are supported by the same kernel drivers.

(This is all much better than the world of mobile phone hardware support. Maybe it’s because of different market pressures? Not to mention you don’t have a monopoly that benefits from keeping the hardware fractured. Imagine if people could make a competitor to Android that works across most devices out there)

Size is the interesting bit for me.

• Honda Super-ONE is a kei car
• BYD atto (the “$24K” one) is bigger, but not by too much.

I wish the backrooms were real. The monsters are no match for realestate agents, so it’d be pretty safe to rent.

As far as I understand, wireguard is designed so that it can’t be portscanned. Replies are never sent to packets unless they pass full auth.

This is both a blessing and a curse. It unfortunately means that if you misconfigure a key then your packets get silently ignored by the other party, no error messages or the likes, it’s as if the other party doesn’t exist.

EDIT: Yep, as per https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/

In fact, the server does not even respond at all to an unauthorized client; it is silent and invisible.

It’s completely off screen :(

I’ve had some other friends mention only a tiny increase. Surprising.

Arrest this man

Forgot about that. Stainless steel fridges get left with a shadow if you leave them on too long xD

This is very true for electronics. Days of reading garbage ai-written websites, 5-times regurgitated information and scientific papers that might solve your problem but are pages of complex equations (spoiler: every time I’ve put the effort into decoding such a paper I’ve found it to be useless, often due to the author misunderstanding the problem they describe in their intro or bad assumptions). Finally you strike upon a badly scanned copy of a document from the 80’s from a company that doesn’t exist any more describing exactly what your problem is and how to solve it in a simple manner.

Well what if I have to sell it?

Energy rating stickers appreciate after an appliance is bought, because the energy star standards get stricter over time but your sticker does not go down.

(Yes deleting the UUID breaks the URL. Which means everything in the URL except that is probably useless)

don’t worry about it

I have too many questions about how the teleportation works, like what happens if you instantly (or over a small time t) transition from one location’s air pressure to another?

Had no idea about this, ty. Usually my local bees enter a drug-fueled rolling-around state inside my magnolia flowers (it’s a sight to behold), will have to watch and see if any beetles also visit mine.

I do not think a single one of your photos shows flowers or spores. Prude!

Cycads? Disgusting.

As a Magnolia man I’m feeling left out.

EDIT: Just showed my mum, she agrees on every point, including Cycads being gross. “Tell them I’m on the warpath and I’m coming after you”

T9 keyboard

Do you have to tap multiple times for each letter?

Similar layout, but flick your finger in an orthogonal direction instead of tapping multiple times: https://f-droid.org/packages/es.ideotec.t16fling/ . I have been using it as my main keyboard the past year and it’s OK. No haptic buzzes though and it’s incompatible with one app (Aurora store, causes random crashes, have to temporary swap keyboards).

Love the new image on the main page sidebar. Looks to be from 2017? I hope they kept that up every year.

Ditto. I don’t block any captchas though.

I wanted to complain about how hard it was to find the forecasts. At the time it required clicking through unrelated items, they have changed it now. Tried to give feedback and was then chucked in the bin.

This part of Gary Larson’s “new collection”, released this year and made on a computer.

Also tried giving feedback, pile of errors and wouldn’t accept it.
