Got the same setup, but I connect to my server with vscode through SSH and edit files there.

Much more user friendly as a primary Windows guy.

Exactly, it was already established that pictures from untrusted sources are to be disregarded unless they can be verified by trusted sources.

It is basically how it has been forever with the written press: Just like everyone now has the capability to manipulate a picture. Everyone can write we are being invaded by aliens, but whether we should believe it is another thing.

It might take some time for the general public to learn this, but it should be a focus area of general schooling within the area of source criticism.

In Denmark you get two options, you can buy an unlocked phone with cash. Or purchase a subscription with it, and the provider gives you some incentive for it. The subscription is locked for 6 months which is the max by law.

If I buy a phone with the subscription, the discount means you would usually pay 80% of the phones value.

That locks you to a subscription for 6 months that is usually more expensive than the other offers out there, but the difference doesn't make up for the reduced price of the phone over the 6 month period.

So you are actually saving money, as long as you remember to switch to a cheaper subscription after the 6 months pass. The telecom of course hopes you don't, and that's their incentive for taking a hit on profit in the short term. It buys them marketshare.

I assume they said it was due to other reasons than obscurity, although we know better.

That's a fringe scenario. Try imagining something that would happen on a more daily basis.

Still a 60% weight increase to a VW Up! A car much better suited for living in a European metropol.

Thing is Skyrim wasn't particularly handcrafted or lively either, the models for things like dungeons were repeated all the time and the NPC liveliness was lacklustre compared to eurojank games like Gothic.

Hi, and sorry in advance if this is the wrong community to post this. But I seek some advice on how I can upgrade my home networking setup that also connects my selfhosted services.

I have posted a shitty Visio that visualized my current setup, but just to describe it in some words.

I use an aging Amplifi HD router and access point, that is connected through wireless to a mesh point.

It works, but I am aware how much of the throughput disappears when connecting through the meshpoint. And I would also like to utilize newer technologies like Wifi 6 (i already have devices that support this standard) or even 6E.

So I thought about switching the router to a dedicated one without a wireless access point, and then wire an access point to provide wireless access.

While I was at it, it could be interesting going from gigabit to 2.5 for the wired devices. One of the homelabs could be modified to utilize it. Or at least just gain the possibility in a future upgrade, by getting a router that supports it while I am at it.

My question is, what would you suggest I upgraded with? I'm open for OpenWRT or PFsense/OPNsense, and keeping things modular.

Edit: and I am located within the EU, if it has any bearing on what devices are available without crazy import duties.
