There were problems like these ten years ago in Europe, but nowadays it works very well. W

They technically already get 300 Dollars a year out of you without you ever subscribing so who’s laughing now?

They look great! Is there a already an Autoeq profile that headset?

No, but openwrt seems to be available for some of their models if that is your question.

I think it’s best to only buy routers supporting openwrt in the first place and switch firmware to openwrt asap. Openwrt or Opnsense or anything open source and well maintained will guarantee security updates years and years beyond the original manufactures firmware.

Hitting a round birthday gets harder every time it happens in my opinion. On the other hand I didn’t mind hitting 42 too much. After all, it’s the answer to life, the universe and everything. That should be something to look forward to at 40!

Ditto.

There is no need fire up a dedicated machine to do this. Use your router/ap running openwrt and connect a hdd via usb. The machine needs at least 128 Mb RAM (256 mb would be better). Install the transmission package, set it up, add a gig of swap space on the hdd and you are good to go. The AP runs 24/7 anyways so there will be very few extra power consumption. Vpns often don’t allow port forwarding (mullvad has stopped support recently if I remember correctly). You can just be a passive node and not often ports, that should work good enough. Consider seeding parts of sci-hub. it’s a project worth supporting imho.

You can just download once of the parts below with less than 12 seeds and set it to host without ratio:

Maybe try the searxng matrix support chat, I think there might be a few developers around that could point you in right direction:

They also have a Mirc support channel is that is more your cup of tea.

The best shoes I’ve found so far are ones I was born with. They provide the best ground feel and repair themselves over time when damaged!

Seriously, give it a try as soon as the temperatures allow for it. Plus you cannot really maintain bad running form while unshod. It will just hurt. I recommend at least one run a week without shoes to improve form.

Huaraches are very sturdy and can be easily made on your own with a piece of thick leather and some bungie cord. Other than that I’ve been running in the same pair of vapor gloves since 2014. But I only ever used them in winter, when it was to cold for bare feet. You can vastly improve the mileage of shoes with shoe go (glue skateboarders use to repair their ever braking shoes). Vapor gloves seem to get holes in the uppers long before the soles wear out.

I also built some leather shoes myself, which is a cool project, but also a lot of work. I’ve had good results with senmotic shoes as well, they are handmade in Germany and really sturdy. They do not come cheap, and are not quite as minimal as vapor gloves, but will last a lot longer. They will even change the soles for you if they brake at one point.

Maybe, but a wouldn’t it be way better to rely on a service every cellphone can receive by default, namely cell broadcast?

They even implemented this in Germany a few years ago after it has been available for twenty odd years.

I would try to find something a bit newer. Core 2 Duos are really power hungry. Find one with an i5 processor and a T at the end of the number, like i5 3450T or something. This will be a little less performant but run at 30 watt max compared to the core 2 duos 150 watt. Fujitsu esprimo are also a good cheap option and both lenovo and Fujitsu offer rather tiny pcs that work excellent for severs.
