  • I pretty successfuly ran a combo of TP-Link with OpenWRT connected with cable to a cheap dumb Edimax, which in turn was connected through wifi to downstairs Zyxel ADSL router from O2 ISP.

    Essentially the Edimax bridged the internet (there was only one place where the signal was strong enough) from downstairs, sent it to the TP-Link and that one spread wifi on the upstairs floor (so we could use phones/notebook) and my brother’s and mine desktop PCs were connected to it by cable. A bit of an overcomplicating simple problem, but it worked (otherwise we would either have no wifi or would have to buy a different router with 2 separate WiFi chips).

    The law is done dumb. They should update it to say “the banner must always have a “reject all” button which rejects everything (including the legitimate interest) on it and it must not be hidden inside any further clicks”

    I’m sick of having to search for that button under two sub menus or having to uncheck 20 check boxes. And what the hell is even “legitimate interest”? There’s nothing legitimate about any tracking at all. This phrase really offends me every time I read it.

    I’m a long time Gentoo user. No systemd ever. When my old computer started failing and my Gentoo started falling apart (mostly because I made multiple mistakes when trying out testing versions of Plasma 5 and also due to me not updating for a long time and then getting into a long list of blockers) I installed OpenSUSE (Tumbleweed… Once you go rolling release, you can’t go back. :-D).

    In just a few weeks, no idea why or how, it started having a weird problem. When shutting down, every time, it got stuck on some error (waiting for session something, I believe, but I don’t remember really) and it was waiting 1.5min until it continued. No explanation of what exactly it’s waiting for, no way to say “continue now without waiting”… No amount of googling got me anywhere near to finding out what the problem was.

    Later I also ran into a problem where I was changing something about hard drives, I changed the fstab too, but for some reason systemd was getting stuck on trying to mount the drives that weren’t in the fstab anymore. Later I found out that it was my fault, I had a line that mounted the drive, and a few lines later I had some mount bind line operating on that first mount or something, but I still think the normal init system would just spit out that it can’t mount that and go on.
