did you actually just bring that up as a positive?

in part I agree with you. However, OP has called brainded idiots those who’s job is to manage the windows server systems, and can’t even imagine doing the same on linux without a GUI

i have stopped using openai services, and now I’m only using ai services through duck.ai website for trying to protect my privacy

that’s great to hear. in your case not wiping emails and social media is not that much of a danger, I would assume, but I would do it anyway, even if I was not a women, just for the sake of it not being used (theoretically) for ads and such anymore. but be sure you have backed up every email and post you will delete, and storing it securely

probably clients running “Human OS”

we can’t stop you if you really want to read it that way

It’s also worth noting that you can ask tools like ChatGPT for it’s references.

last time I tried that it made up links that didn’t work, and then it admitted that it cannot reference anything because of not having access to the internet

end to end is meaningless when the app scans your content and does whatever with it

just wanted to add that deleting an app will not result in deletion of your data stored in the cloud (e.g. your emails)

you don’t need to expose it. set up wireguard and have fun much more safely

sorry what, it can keep a location history? how?

that’s how it works on desktop too regarding DNS, but when it receives a response from a new IP, it should send future traffic there as I know

the question was what else to buy, because the alternatives I know are not exactly better…

but I found I spent way too much time trying to manage RAM and tuning it,

I spent none, and it works fine. what was your issue?

e-waste? a lot of networks dont need anywhere near gigabit. Especially because at a lot of places around the world even the ISP can’t provide that bandwidth for internet, but this applies to internal networks too. in a lot of cases a 100 mbps capable managed switch (which a router can be, even if with limitations) is enough

If I can flash OpenWRT on to an older router then it becomes useful again.

well, only if it has more than 4 MB storage, 8 MB RAM. I’m practically swimming in older routers that can’t even pass that requirement, and even today the cheaper, that is, more affordable options are still near that for some fucking reason.

its not openwrt. its openwrt based, with proprietary modifications, from a country where saying no to planting a backdoor is not an option.

everyone is better off just flashing the open source firmware themselves. both with gl.inet and other brands, but I would say the same for openwrt’s own router-like device too due to supply chain attacks

then what? the brand thats owned by a chinese company, and even designs not just the software but the hardware too according to Chinese interests, tp-link?
or the one that requires online registration to access the setup page (and so to replace the firmware) that is netgear?

It’s a bit ironic that on the forum the poster did not remove the tracking parameters from the google drive link
