Admittedly I haven’t used Omada even though my gear supported it (before I flashed OpenWRT on it), but I don’t think it bears any resemblance to Ansible except in the most basic sense of being able to accomplish administrative tasks somehow.

What I was expecting was something that would provide a web dashboard showing all of my OpenWRT (and ideally, misc. other devices) at once, maybe with a nice diagram of the network topology and stuff like that.

Does there exist something more appropriate?

EDIT: I talked with a guy and totally forgot an important point, does reflashing the hardware prevent me from using features with the vendors i listed? I know companies can suck

If they’re software features and OpenWRT doesn’t implement them, yes. That’s not really the fault of the hardware manufacturer, though; that’s just a tradeoff you’ve chosen to make.

For example, I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to use Ubiquiti’s UniFi or TP-Link’s Omada software-defined networking to manage your OpenWRT-flashed device, but that’s just because OpenWRT hasn’t implemented it, not because installing it trips some kind of DRM fuse or whatever.

(I think OpenWISP might be the OpenWRT-compatible Free Software equivalent for that sort of thing, but I have yet to look into it myself so I’m not sure.)

Otherwise, I haven’t personally heard of any vendors intentionally sabotaging their hardware such that it disables itself when flashed with OpenWRT, but that’s not the same as an affirmative statement that it can’t ever happen.

Everything’s an outdoor activity if you’re exhibitionist enough! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Edit: oh wait, you meant genealogy research.

Stop the atrocities from happening and then we won’t have to keep talking about them.

Nobody gives a fuck about your weaseling technicalities. The salient fact is that this change was made in order to “comply in advance” with totalitarian fuckery. It SIGNALS POLITICAL SUPPORT for it, and that’s not okay!

That outline is like the entire continental shelf, or all the area where the glaciers are directly over rock (as opposed to having ocean in between), or something like that.

But if the ice weren’t there, not all of it would actually be above sea level:

Might actually be smaller than Australia if the ice were gone, give or take things like sea level rise and isostatic rebound.

Yep, those are the only ones I’ve bought since roughly 1999.

If it does, you should probably go to the E.R.

They’re almost certainly powering Palentir’s shit, so yeah.

I would flip the whole chart diagonally so it lines up better with the political compass. I’d equate “corporate” with “right” instead of “authoritarian,” and “niche” with “libertarian” instead of “left.” Also, I would replace “independent” with “community/nonprofit.”

I somewhat hope that he did that as a demonstration of, hey, someone may do this because it’s hard for me to wrap my head around someone who uses a computer for a living, doing something like that.

Nope, he genuinely didn’t bother to understand the warning before typing it. He may use computers for a living, but that just means he has a lot of very ingrained Windows bad habits to un-learn.

It was some pretty big Internet drama when it happened and he’s still trying to defend himself from the near-universal lambasting he got for it. Although I included the link just in case, I’m kinda surprised you (being a person tech-savvy enough to be posting on Lemmy) didn’t already hear of it.

He’s actually making a second attempt to switch to Linux right now (four years later), initially picked Pop!_OS again, and had some more problems with it. 🤦 He has a second channel where he posts clips from his podcast, and he keeps whining about how the other people doing it with him are having little to no trouble and he’s just cursed, LOL.

Run crontab -e and put this in the file, on its own line:

Honestly, having to have the user type “I agree that I have verified the application i am trying to install is genuine and not a fraudulent app”

Ask Other Linus how well that sort of thing (“Yes, do as I say!”) works, LOL!

I agree with you that Google’s anti-competitive time delay BS is likely to be ineffective for its claimed purpose, but frankly, I don’t think any other reasonable (i.e. non-rights-infringing) strategies would be effective either. Honestly, there’s a limit to how much effort you should go through to save idiots from themselves – and how much annoyance you impose on everyone else in the process! – and I think we’ve already hit it.

The only thing I use my bank app for is to deposit checks. It can’t be done from the desktop because it needs the phone camera to take photos of the check.

Things like LineageOS are a workaround, not a solution.

The solution has to be legal, not technical. Companies have to be stopped from trying to fuck with users’ property rights in the first place!

I have never heard of any generative AI system capable of doing anything useful with 3D models. If you ever find one, PM me to let me know!

Everybody knew dot-coms in 2000 and houses in 2007 were bubbles, too. But they kept investing anyway, because they didn’t know when it would pop and FOMO is a helluva drug.

Also, something to keep in mind: https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market-timer/

I have a domain, but all I use it for so far is email (with an email provider, not my own mail server, hosted locally or otherwise). I’d still call that “usable,” though.
