Yeah, free transit passes is a good push in the right direction.

This is good advice, but I think Roblox is a game marketplace/platform, which makes that more difficult. It’s a harder sell to explore the social features as a family than a game.

Same. If you don’t enable telemetry, how are they supposed to know if a feature is popular?

Meanwhile, they’re selling the data to fucking ad networks. Scum.

I’ve got pets and just having the hair off the floors on a regular basis without having to spend 20 min a day hauling a vacuum around strikes me as being a nice labor savings. But I haven’t sprung for one yet.

Setting side the CSAM you found, you’ve got enough reasons to break up. Do it.

Do your best to report the material, but be safe. Some countries make it dangerous and hard to report, I understand. Do what you can.

I think there is the threat of American producers trying to keep prices from going up too much by finding ways to suppress wages for workers and by just making products crappier, since their primary focus will be squeezing every possible penny of profit out of every sale.

America never had good labour laws, and the anti-union propaganda has created generations who don’t know why unions were created in the first place. I don’t see this ending well for American labour.

Donnie doesn’t have a stable policy, and the immediacy of the tariffs simply will result in higher prices. Farmers can’t go back in time and plant alternate crops - the imports are necessary. Steel plants can’t just re-tool for a product that used to come from Brazil or Canada overnight. If the goal is to bring back the jobs, companies need time to adjust and plan and invest.

Yes, we know that the far right in Europe is supported by Pooty. This doesn’t represent a breakdown in unity.

That could - by no means a guarantee - result in vote splitting and worse outcomes.

It’s similar to Putin waxing poetic about Ukraine, to a degree.

“We’re so mad that you manufacture things cheaper than us, that we’re gonna make it so we pay more for those things.”

America doesn’t have aluminum manufacturing capacity. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/aluminum-kitimat-quebec-tariffs-jobs-1.7472032

Frankly, better one of his properties than Cambridge University.

Well yes, it is one hop, because you’ve got the router doing TLS termination. Inside your network you point to the server that has the TLS certs. Outside of the network you do port forwarding, or use a tunnel with cloudflare agents.

Why is the router involved at all? It’s all local traffic. The external traffic comes through the cloud flare tunnel, right? Maybe I’m not understanding the architecture you’ve got.

It’s possible but it’s an extra pain in the butt.

Internally, have you tried pointing the DNS directly to the ngnix server, not the router? There’s no reason to have that extra hop (I don’t think).

If you are establishing a TLS connection to a server, the server will need a certificate. It sounds like you’re trying to have two instances of a reverse proxy - one on the server, and one on the router. It may be my ignorance of the particulars, but my immediate thought is that you should select one point in the network to do reverse proxying.

The amplifi line is the plug and play line closest to the google/eero/etc. experience. It is specifically the one I was referring to which has less than enthusiastic feedback.

I neglected to mention Mikrotik. They’re a Latvian company that is also in the space. I think they’d be farther to the professional/complex end of the spectrum. Omada is in the middle, and Ubiquiti leans toward the easier to use side. They’re all going to need more work than google wifi, unfortunately.

The “other” site has a wealth of information; evanmccann.net is a good source for demystifying their product line as well.

This can only be a good thing. I read that series on Arstechnica about the Boar’s Head listeria contamination. “Heavy meat buildup on walls”

I’ve a friend who works for an international bank in their green initiatives program.

The department for climate initiatives greenwashing at that bank is under the marketing wing. It’s all I need to know about how much the bank cares.

Google‘s (and Facebook, and all the social media ad companies’) business model is predicated on the notion they have a better profile of their victims than the other ad network. They’ll never tell your uncle about what you search for at 2am, but they’ll indirectly sell it.

The best thing to do is to run a wired backhaul, if it’s remotely possible. MoCa or power line adapters are possible options but do your research and assess your own situation. Wifi is more complex that it can seem on the surface, and wireless backhaul adds its own nuance.

With higher end products you may find that you don’t need a mesh network - just one AP may solve the problem. All my neighbours have f’ing extenders which take up a ton of airspace and the houses are 30sqm footprint.

Ubiquiti makes the UniFi line which is prosumer. You’ll need several components; unless you’ve got more than 1gbps service, the UDM is a good starting point. They also make the amplifi line; I don’t think there’s a lot of positive feedback on those products.

Tplink is a Chinese company and therefore immediately suspect in some eyes, but their Omada line is pretty reliable. They also make the Deco line for more home-focused solutions. They’ve been in the news a bit lately, more so because people don’t change passwords from what I recall, but I wanted to mention it.

Why the heck are they storing this data for 20 years anyways?
