I need a separate router and AP, but given a choice I'd ditch the AP. IMO there's no reason to have two devices if one provides sufficient features and wifi coverage, and it's one less thing to manage.

Regarding DD-WRT vs OpenWRT, after years of use my DD-WRT routers began intermittently losing their configurations when reset and I was unable to resolve the problem. The switch to OpenWRT was difficult but worth it because the firmware is so flexible and well supported. It has been rock solid.

Take a look at the GL-iNet Flint 2. It runs OpenWRT and should easily support everything you mention and more.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but "Custom filtering rules" (for both white and blacklist entries) allow you to enter as many as you want in a single field, or to copy a bunch in at once without having to enter them one at a time. Does Pi-hole have something similar?

 

FBI agents assigned earlier this year to review investigative files in the criminal case against notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were instructed to “flag” any documents that mentioned President Donald Trump, Sen. Richard Durbin said Friday.

Durbin’s claim came in letters the Illinois Democrat sent to the Justice Department and FBI asking them to explain discrepancies between past statements about a promised release of the Epstein files and findings from a July 7 Justice Department memo, which said no such release would happen.

"Add Blocklist" > "Choose From List" on Adguard pops up a list of about 75 different block lists and you can check any number of them before saving. I don't remember setup being a lengthy task either, but it's been over a year since I switched. Once set up I rarely touch it except to occasionally turn it off for a couple of minutes so some device can update.

I ran Pi-hole for a couple of years and switched. Besides preferring the UI on Adguard Home, IMO the big advantage of running a DNS server on OpenWRT is that if the router is up, my DNS server is running. I don't have to rely on a 2nd device and lose Internet access when the Pi is taken down for some reason.

I bought an used Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800 off Ebay for around $50 and it works well. Despite its age it's currently running Wireguard, Adguard and Dynamic DNS and it loafs along at below 1% CPU usage most of the time. I have about 30 devices connected locally and another 10 through WG.

If I were to buy new, the GL.iNet Flint 2 ($160) would be at the top of my list.

Would you look at that! 22 of the of 25 cities on the list are in red states.

Must be a coincidence.

It's too bad children had to lose their lives to their parent's Maga bullshit.

 

A Texas county devastated by deadly flooding earlier this month rejected federal funds in 2021 that could have helped install a flood warning system, with local officials and residents arguing they didn't want to be "bought" by the Biden administration.

Glad to hear they've added headless support. Will have to take another look.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

When I tried RustDesk it was not able to easily function on headless systems, including servers and my desktop PC if the monitor was powered off. Has that changed?

Anydesk and Teamviewer don't have that problem, but both companies have had hacking incidents and Teamviewer actually blamed their users instead of taking responsibility. Allowing 3rd parties of any type remote access to my computers is IMO just asking for trouble, especially for always-on systems.

Wireguard plus VNC isn't as seamless but it works fine the vast majority of the time. When I occasionally need features that VNC doesn't support, NoMachine is a full-featured, free for non-commercial use alternative that works great with WG.

Edit: It looks like the latest release of NoMachine now offers a intermediate network service that operates like Teamviewer and Anydesk. Access via intermediate network ID is not enabled by default, so with it disabled it should theoretically be more secure than the other apps.

The links in the article are directly to a Senate Judiciary Committee report. Presumably links to the primary source of information are more accurate than secondary reporting from an alternate source, especially considering that the GQP is running the show.

 

While preparing for the case, Reuveni sought guidance from his superiors on what claims he could make based on DOJ evidence. He was instructed to tell the judge that Abrego Garcia was a “verified member” of the gang MS-13, and that he wasn’t in any immediate danger while detained at the Salvadoran mega-prison, CECOT, although the DOJ had no evidence to support either claim. Reuveni was also warned not to verbally mention that the deportation was a mistake, as the admission was buried at the bottom of a previous court filing.

“Text messages, email exchanges, and documents show that the Department of Justice misled a federal court and disregarded a court order. Mr. Bove spearheaded this effort, which demanded attorneys violate their ethical duty of candor to the court,” US Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said in a statement. “This is a declaration of defiance of our courts at the highest level of our government.”

 

Iowa deputies extracted nearly 90 children from a Bible study camp last week and placed them in protective custody in response to reports of child abuse and endangerment, a state sheriff's office announced Monday.

Victor Bawi, the son of a minister at the church, said that no camp leaders have been arrested thus far. The family that runs the program denied allegations of child abuse or endangerment, though police are continuing an investigation into human trafficking.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that U.S. automakers are seeking a workaround to avoid increased expenses resulting from President Donald Trump’s controversial tariff policy: relocating manufacturing to China.

“Four major automakers are racing to find workarounds to China’s stranglehold on rare-earth magnets, which they fear could force them to shut down some car production within weeks,” the Journal reports. “Several traditional and electric-vehicle makers—and their suppliers—are considering shifting some auto-parts manufacturing to China to avoid looming factory shutdowns, people familiar with the situation said.”

 

The Trump administration confirmed Tuesday that it has sent formal letters to multiple countries, reminding them to submit their "best offers" on trade negotiations ahead of a fast-approaching deadline.

"The president expects good deals, and we are on track for that," Leavitt said, insisting that U.S. officials are in active talks with many key trading partners around the world.

But the need for a "friendly reminder" has fueled skepticism regarding the administration's claims that the aggressive tariffs have motivated trading partners to negotiate deals with the US. Social media users accused the administration of approaching desperation as the deadline approaches.

 

Earlier this year, as President Donald Trump was beginning to reshape the American government, Michael, an emergency room doctor who was born, raised, and trained in the United States, packed up his family and got out.

Michael now works in a small-town hospital in Canada. KFF Health News and NPR granted him anonymity because of fears he might face reprisal from the Trump administration if he returns to the U.S. He said he feels some guilt that he did not stay to resist the Trump agenda but is assured in his decision to leave. Too much of America has simply grown too comfortable with violence and cruelty, he said.
