If you can't handle someone criticising your government then you're not a citizen, you're a cult member.
No #government needs your support and you watching their back. Criticism of them is not criticism of you, don't take it personally.
Frankly, every govt deserves criticism and needs people holding them to account. That's why we have the media and elections.

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

I'm not an expert, but I'd probably go with the DIY open source approach a supported hardware platform. There you'd full control over the software mirrors and such details.
I use Plasma Cloud access points myself. While they're not technically European, they're not American, either.

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

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.

The Indiana Senate resoundingly rejected Trumpβs demands to redraw the stateβs congressional map. But moments before the vote, a prominent right-wing group said Trump would withhold all state funding if Republican lawmakers do not heed his demands. β¦

Cincinnati Public Schools are opening a designated parking lot for homeless students and their families, allowing them to sleep in their cars while they seek housing. This initiative, part of a program called Project Connect, aims to provide a safe space and support for those experiencing homelessness. Being homeless has become illegal.WTH has happened to this country when schools have to provide sanctuary for the homeless?

It was NSW police officers that were effective in stopping the attack in the end. Two of them are among the 38 people injured. In the videos I have seen, none of them ran away from the attackers. I'm betting none of them had anything but handguns. The attackers had longarms.
