Are those verified transactions or does this count things like Semi’s experiments?
I agree. I’m not against compromises that don’t violate the principle. So long as it really doesn’t.
In governmental warfare (against a malevolent state) they would be susceptible to EMP, etc. though. It’s worth a thought.
I went Ubiquity. Fell in love with it at work. I’ll probably get rugged someday but for now it’s one of the most intuitive systems I’ve ever used, and they’re taking their stuff out of the cloud and having it run on your hardware.
I’ll be able to RFID unlock my front door, check the cameras in my house, and remotely administer my system all without having my data in the cloud. The router even handles recording the cameras to disk locally. For a corpo, they’re doing some neat stuff.
Just my luck. 🤣
It’s a good thought though. I was working from home and was ready to try anything.
I have a Netgear router that is an absolute rockstar.
The original firmware was slow and horribly buggy, but I quickly re-flashed it with https://www.OpenWrt.org
Which isn't to say OpenWRT never screws up, but its #FOSS and straight-up #linux so I can always fix a broken service myself, or use an alternative package.
Proprietary firmware you're just SOL without an enterprise grade support contract...
Yep. I checked. Heard nothing but good about OpenWRT. Unfortunately, that model was a black hole that wasn’t supported. I wanted to try that so bad.
Me too. Had pneumonia real bad as a teen during a winter. Never been good in cold since.
Have you seen the automatic puppy cannon? You teach them to drop their ball in it, and it throws it for them.
I also thought it was really cool that this guy at 15 encountered a shooting and instead of turning anti-gun, went out and worked 10 years to make gun ownership safer.
I agree wholeheartedly that it needs to be FOSS. Not even for contributions, but for the sake of sovereignty preservation. That would be my contingency as well. I want to be able to compile the firmware and install it myself.
My dog won’t even play with a ball. 🤣
I’m sure they have some stuff. They do make a collar with 5G and gps.
There’s someone somewhere. 😉
I tap out on anything past a sleeping bag in the woods during the winter. Summer though, it’s on.
That’s awesome. My sister in law has her cats automatically fed, their toys only turn on when played with, and she just got one a cat collar with a laser pointer built in - the cat literally plays with itself.
Smart gadgets for everyone. Even the cat.
Ubiquity has taken Identity out of the cloud and it runs on your UDM - unlimited users for free.
That’s pretty cool.
🤣
Cold does… not good things to us guys.

OVH. 100%.
I’ve used AWS, Linode, Oracle, Digital, and OVH and OVH is by far the easiest to use and best priced.
Yeah I got some nighthawks a while back. They randomly over wrote my port forwards and while the list in the UI was blank the NVRAM still had the loaded. I was stuck because I refused to reset my whole network. Better now because I just bumped my servers up a port lmao
....I agree with nostr:npub1sr92xvmaxdmqac64d9exptc2qw9wd2pwd593jhrak0raqt4njnhq50l2qw they're a rather mediocre product 😔😕
My nighthawk bit the dust after 5 months in my house. We had a smart home with over 80 WiFi devices. Developed a problem where everytime the power flickered it would issue duplicate IP addresses to devices. I had to go to the breaker box and turn zones of the house on one-by-one to keep it from getting overwhelmed.
I know that’s a lot of devices, but this was a pro-sumer level router and wasn’t cheap. I could have got an entry level Cisco or Ubiquity for the same price. (I didn’t know about Ubiquity at the time)
It finally fried itself and in desperation I bought a Google Nest WiFi Pro 6e set of 2. Flawless for a year. I don’t like the limitations of the Google gear though, which is why we’re transitioning.
At this point, I pretty much recommend Ubi or eBay Cisco stuff to my family or friends, unless they have truly low usage.
