Sorry, yes, that’d probably be a better term. Most of the ones I’ve found refer to themselves as routers, and the ones that were listed as APs mostly required a central mesh service of some sort (like nest/hub).

You are correct though, I just want to basically add solid wifi to my little pfsense appliance.

I’ll check out ubiquiti for sure. I’d been told it required a cloud connection, but if it can be run locally, that’ll do well.

My plan is to have a bunch of my self-hosted stuff sit inside this safe zone, inaccessible from outside of it. I currently have a really cheesy old 802.11g router, and I’d really like to go with something that supports higher speed and a little bit more polished management site (ideally one that can tell me the name of the devices, which even my old surfboard could do).

5Ghz 802.11ac would be nice, but really anything newer than g will be worth looking into.

Your choices are basically FF spinoffs (waterfox, librewolf, etc), Chrome spinoffs, straight up AI browsers, crypto browsers, and a couple that are a sort of mix/match of the above.

The web is cooked.

Lawyer time.

I’ve added the link below the quote, which may help in the future.

I like that take.

I wonder if this being right on the heels is related to that.

I’d love that to be the outcome, tbh.

I appreciate the suggestion. It quite literally hadn’t even occurred to me, so I’ll be sure to do that for future posts intended for wide audiences.

Oh that’s wild! On fedia there definitely is, as in attached screenshot. I guess they decided that since nobody on reddit ever read the articles anyhow, why implement it :D

I posted the link to Ars, a pretty solid tech news source, but thank you for the direct link to Open AI’s announcement as well. The more sources the merrier!

Pretty much. In effect, they just paid 1 billion dollars to shovel their IP into the public domain woodchipper.

Only if you’re doing it right.

People have been sounding the alarm since Eisenhower, but nobody listens.

Thank you!

Hiding out from the stress of the holidays!

Stuff is really stressful right now, so I’m just sorta retreating into the comforting hole of Discworld.

Congrats everyone! No matter how much or how little you accomplished, it’s a heck of an undertaking.

I think I’d like to see like excerpt of the week, where perhaps we post a little bit of our in progress each week

I love those, I have a handful like that. Love the ones you buy from little indie bands at shows, or on street corners.
