Which hardware is recommended? Trying to search through their list a ton of it is already on old-stable and seemingly ready to be eol-d. I’m not really interested in spending on new routers playing whack a mole with security updates every 2 years. I’d rather have poor performance and a longer lifecycle versus unknown likely marginal support window.

I use pf as the firewall on my server, what is the difference/reason for the opnsense fork?
They also list my current one as unsupported unfortunately, I think because of the Broadcom WiFi chip in it.
That was one of the things I was considering was whether running a router before the WiFi and then just using them as access points might be a better choice.

2·1 month agoMan it’s been a long time but essentially 98 was the first one to allow for plug and play without drivers if I’m remembering right. That and a few other stability issues made the original crash constantly, including during the demo at a tech show. They re-released it as a second edition that fixed most of it. If you bought the computer towards 1999 they had fixed it.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•A Utah city is removing raised traffic-calming measures on a busy road after backlash from residentsEnglish
43·2 months agoAs the city redesigned 1200 West to better connect State Route 252 with communities in the southern end of Cache Valley, officials installed a protected bike lane, enhanced pedestrian crossings and curves in the road to slow traffic. They also put in raised concrete slabs at intersections to force drivers into slower, wider turns.
Not surprising, everyone says they want safer roads but won’t give up the F350 to haul their larded ass around or drive even slightly slower…

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?English
1·3 months agoRealistically no. My wife primarily uses the ad blocking dns and smb file storage. I’ve built the server on FreeBSD so those should run near forever if I passed, and she knows she has until the server dies to find somewhere else to put her photos. Past that there’s a maintenance document next to the will, which includes everything up to how to replace drives on zfs, but I doubt she’d use it if I’m being honest.
Wife and I just bought them last year. Thankfully haven’t needed them but glad to have them if we do!
They also make airbag vests with built in neck protection, if anyone rides studies are showing an 89% reduction in cervical spine injuries, they are worth every penny!

Gotta keep the auditors busy!
