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

Orange Supermarket in Sydney’s south

The one at Wolli Creek, or is that not south enough?

At Wolli you’ve got:

• ALDI (cheaper, but half the time out of stock, limited selection)
• Woolworths (expensive for most items)
• Orange Supermarket (expensive for most items)

Someone cut off the trolley keys in the Woolies carpark recently :D

Wolli apartments probably have a big variety of people in different socio-economic conditions, but I feel that woolworths & orange are priced to suit the higher end of the market. In particular woolies seems to stock lots of Wagyu beef.

I wonder if more is lifted at Orange & Woolworths than Aldi. I’d feel more comfortable stealing from places with higher prices.

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

reaches for flamethrower and glyphosate

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”

The line was closed to passenger rail traffic in the early 1980s, following a downturn in passengers and munitions traffic

No more bullet trains ;(

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).

Woah. Where am I? The Lemmy Displacement Field is wobbling!

This week’s attempt to find cheap housing/land near sydney: https://www.domain.com.au/lots-30-31-camberwell-road-vineyard-nsw-2765-2020371791

• Two narrow blocks being solder together for $500K
• Covered in flora, nothing built.
• Zoned for housing
• Few mins walk from a train station
• I think they’re on a creek. Both blocks. Which probably means you can’t build anything there, riparian zone.
• EDIT: Right next to open-air wastewater treatment plant, ooh yeah! I’m tempted to visit just to check it out.

500K is still too much money for me xD Maybe they’ll take $100K for just one? I can do $1K of timtams as a bonus.

“boosting the immune system” is a marketing term, not a medical term. If you care about your health then have a chat to your doctor and ask them for advice. Supplements are unlikely to give you any health benefits, unless you have a specific deficiency.

The psychology and marketing of supplements is very interesting. They’re easy to take (easier than making behavioural change like diet, sleep or exercise). Pills are seen as something that makes you better, even though the supplements would do the same thing in powder form. They cost a lot so they must be good. They are advertised on TV as being a good thing, in association with imagery of doctors and healthy-looking people.

Ostensibly supplements are designed to be harmless, but that’s not always the case. Vitamin B toxicity on the federal gov’s healthdirect site:

B6 toxicity can occur even at recommended doses
