Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi
If you just want the tunnel encryption you can try hosting a VPN on your own home network. It's what I do since I don't need to spoof my location.
You are asking in the piracy community so I'm assuming you're also using it to torrent (which a home VPN won't help with) but you didn't specifiy so I'm not sure
People shit on it for lack of dkim verification (mail spoofing) but it's ok for me. If you enable beta in the setting you can even log into the webui with a normal OTP for 2fa instead of the pin+yubikey tap weird one they had before
I agree with the person you're replying to in the sense that Linus's decision is OK, but the delivery could be less "idiotic". This could be a different message entirely. Even a cold "Yes we have some things happening. Can't tell more for now" would've been fine.
I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression?
Where did that come from? Sir this is a kernel mailing list. Why the nationality chest beating? I'm Polish and I have a smirk all day on November 4 but it's just so childish from Linus.
Did you know that if you use the "transfer data from my old phone to the new phone" thing, only the apps installed from Google Play will be carried over? That is, FDroid apps and their data will be lost.
The generated password lenghts can be set in the UI at least. It's worse when the password form accepts only SOME special symbols (looking at you bank)
Boring RSS - displays an rss icon in address bar with the rss feeds from the current page's head tag - the cool thing is that unlike other addons like this, this one has only the activeTab permission, rather than "access your data for all sites" - https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/boring-rss
Tridactyl - like Surfingkeys, Vimium etc. - more vimlike experience for Firefox - you can also optionally install a native extension to run shell commands in the os from within ff (yeah dangerous): https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl
And also set-up SSO/LDAP in your homelab if you run one so you don't have 3000 loose outdated account entries for IPs like 192.168.10.5 user: admin password:*****
As for backup, you can also buy a e.g. Lenovo M920q minipc, buy a pci-e riser, buy a dual port ethernet card, set up Proxmox, set up an pfSense (or OpenWRT, or OPNsense) VM inside, pass-through the ethernet card directly to the VM. The VM is very backupable, since you just copy the VM state and save it somewhere. This would only work for the router though, since the AP's that'd be running OpenWRT wouldn't be VMs. This is at the cost of having to deal with an additional layer for the VMs.
I guess the problem you're asking about in regards in regards to cross-device portability of a backed up config is valid. If you had a four ETH port router, backed up the config, and then uploaded it on a two ETH port router, you'd run into trouble, but I have no experience here.
You can also install OpenWrt on some switches these days (PoE also reportedly works with realtek-poe module):
I think they resell https://www.open-xchange.com/ so they were dependent on them accomodating Keycloak (identity solution used by mailbox)
