The link wouldn't work for me either, but I googled the banana pi openwrt one link, and found this page which has 3 Ali express pages to buy from:

edit ----

Whoops, didn't realize it looks like its out of stock.

Been running OpenWRT for 16 years (okay some of those years was dd-wrt, and LEDE.. But you get the point.)

Using them as dumb AP's is what I really appreciate openwrt for.. I can buy consumer grade hardware and get an actually stable experience as a WiFi AP. Not the typical "oh the WiFi is slow/stopped working? You have reboot it twice a month!" You get with the manufacturer's shit software. I have a full opnsense box that handles firewall duties and vpn's etc.. So I really only like and need the stability of the hardware as an AP.

I also stock pile WiFi routers running OpenWRT and give them to friends that don't have a lot of money when I help with tech upgrades, knowing the WiFi router will be rock solid and not cause any issues. They truly are 'set it and forget it' units.

Knew that was coming, at some point... I wonder if anyone grabbed copies of the git repos.

Yeaaah, don't use open office, it hasn't had any code updates in like 15 years. Use and suggest libre office instead.

Oh boy, I get to excite you with the news of SkyBlivion, a community project to recreate the Oblivion game in the skyrim engine. Its been in development since 2013, and they say they have a 2025 release date scheduled but as I've been following this project and SkyWind (Morrowind remade in Skyrim's engine) for years, I wouldn't hold your breath on a 2025 release.

Or fixing their fucking power grid. Sure hope the voters think about the use of that 220 some million dollars when the power goes out again this winter and they can't heat their house, again.

Wow.. While the action is ethically crappy, I never would have thought that to be an arrestable offense. Using the actresses to generate new nudes and porn scenes? Sure, but to literally cut out the nude scenes from real movies? Kind of crazy to get arrested for that without some sort of warning or cease and desist letter first.

Usually the best way to find new people is to get into an activity or hobby. Use meetup, or Facebook events, or other local event coordinating services to find activities or events you're interested, go and chat with people, and if you hit it off with people after a few times seeing them, try to make a connection individually outside the group, like meeting up for coffee or a beer, etc.

The hard thing you'll find as you age though, is there's a finite amount of social attention people have with their lives, and as people age and establish their groups of friends, sometimes its hard to break into their circles as they've already kinda maxed out their in life social network. Sometimes they either aren't really looking to add more friends, and include more people in their life, or just don't think to invite you to events etc. Breaking though that, or finding people open to adding more to their social networks, can be hard as you age.

Too late. At least in the US we've been spraying our crops with pfas while denying it, apparently.

That's not how hate works.

Lol what if it's a miner 'simulator' in that it just runs prime95 and pegs your cores at 100%.

Yup, they got me. Signed up for "price for life" fiber for $65/m, didn't take a screenshot so i have no proof. 2 years later, nothing change contract wise, but now my bill is $85/m and I can't fight it, again no proof. They were extremely careful to not have price for life branding on anything after you signed up, no email, no bill, no messages, nothing. Fuck Centurylink.

Now they're trying to get me to switch to Quantum Fiber which apparently is still Centurylink, and the carrot or stick they're using is the price for life rate at Quantum Fiber.. Why would I trust a price for life promo when you reneged on the last price for life promo, in less than a year?

Again, Fuck Centurylink.
