So i need some input.
I think to replace my unify gear for european / open source one.
And i heavily hesitate between an opensource router with opnsense (from eu).
Or a mikrotik router.
Can any #network or #mikrotik #opensense #pfsense user give me any input.
Also does the one you own provide update / system update to EU server (even as mirror).
i need multiple wifi AP that share the same network
Thanks

It's that time of year where I like to remind everyone that "relatives" and "family" aren't the same thing, nor need they be
Relatives are people you are related to
Family are people who love you
Maybe there's some overlap, maybe there isn't - there's no wrong answer here.
But whatever you do, try not to let your relatives make you feel like you owe them anything - because you don't
Relatives are a cosmic accident, family is a relationship found and built
Anyway, stay safe out there

New York Cityβs Forgotten Public Bank Plan
New York Cityβs Forgotten Public Bank Plan
In 1975, Wall Street declared war on New York, sending the city into a fiscal crisis. A forgotten public banking proposal in the state assembly could have stopped it β and put both the city and the country on the path to socialized finance.jacobin.com
Or it could be a trap, and your severed nads end up hanging from the rearview mirror of a 1975 Chevy Camaro.
Truly a conundrum.
Why & how this fascist takeover?
US oligarchs had always existed, but, until the 1970s, they tolerated some democracy.
The four simultaneous uprisings of the 60s gave them nightmares involving guillotines, so they launched this now culminating fascist project.
The Powell memo of 1971 was the launch pad. Rockefeller founded TriCom to dismantle the "excess of democracy" of the 1960s.

A little Christmas music
Today lets be more traditional, I think Little Drummer Boy is my favorite Christmas carol, and this is if not my favorite version, its certainly right up there.

Todays plans
So, what's the plan #today?
Finish yesterday's plan, its nice to have a four day weekend.
Well, we did have a few things this morn, needed to hit the bank, and was going to hit breakfast at a Black Bear Diner (if you have one of these in your area and haven't tried it, do so, especially for breakfast), I have a check I forgot to deposit earlier in the week. Woke up a bit lat at 0830, but I had stayed up to around 2330, so that was mostly expectable, albeit I wasn't up much last night, so a little odd. Lets see, what's the temperature...
7Β°F feels like -5Β°...
House to car, to restaurant to car to bank... Yeah, too cold for even that, I am so not leaving the house. I swear, since Vik died, the universe doesn't want me going out for breakfast like we used to, last time I tried when I had some time to kill before work, power was out in that part of Bridgeton killing both restaurant choices. I could've gone elsewhere, but that would've given me a choice of Denny's or going out of my way which would've eaten up a chunk of the time I had, so that was out.
So, I guess the check'll get deposited via app, not sure I want to run out tomorrow, but we'll see, I prefer to hand the check over to a teller.
Tomorrow will likely be estate matters, I need to call Farmers, a check arrived a week ago, some kind of refund on what I could swear was a joint account, but its only made out to Vik, so that's a problem. And have to call Fidelity to make some account changes, they gave me his 401K, but my finance planner wanted it an inherited IRA, so gotta get that done, should be relatively simple. Also gotta reach out to e*Trade, somewhere I have the instructions from a few months ago on how to take over his stock shares as I was the beneficiary.
Outside of those, got a lawyer working on the stuff I'm not a beneficiary of, probate court fun of course, hence the lawyer, St Louis County requires a lawyer for all estate filings. Once all that stuff is done, I'm pulling everything out of e*Trade (owned by Morgan Stanley) and Morgan Stanley, not just for consolidation, but because they're owned by Bank of America, who I hate with a passion for various reasons. Once his Apple card is closed, that'll be the last I deal with Goldman Sachs, because they are such a dumb outdated company. Really, they required me to mail paperwork to their legal department showing he'd died, and yet two months later, I'm still get bills as well as 2+ late notices a week. Heck, the account would've been paid off back in August, but they refused, since I'm not on the account, they won't take my money, only his, at least until they accept that he died. Seriously, this is an investment company, or at least how I know the name, can you imagine this company handling your investments? At least they'll be secure, but considering how outdated they are, they're the only company I'm dealing with that doesn't have any way to handle things online, I can't imagine how good their advice could be.
Oh, yesterday I got one step closer to closing the Chase account, which would be nice as technically its a joint account, so my credit is taking a hit from it, but I don't have access officially, though I do have ways to get in there.
Boy, that got long, no?
Any how, things are kinda going, doing what I have to do, keeping on keeping on.

Iβll say it again β #Mozilla had the opportunity to add decentralised / #P2P networking to #Firefox when they were the no.1 browser and force the hand of Microsoft, Google and Apple to follow suit and instead they removed #RSS.
The weakness of #opensource isnβt technology or software, itβs governance. This has become all too clear with many open source projects getting infected by the #AI scam and end-users being pretty powerless to stop it
