I was very excited about open firmware and ran FreshTomato for a while. Eventually I decided it wasn’t reliable though (2.4Ghz wasn’t actually running on one router, occasional speed issues).

I switched to Unify and have had a great experience. Great visibility into link speed, which device is on which AP, able to SSH into each device and run iperf3, WiFiMan is a great debugging tool (which you don’t need their ecosystem to try), notifies me when the ISP is slow/down. There’s a bewildering array of hardware and it’s not cheap or always in stock, but there are some good guides around.

So, I’d like FOSS to be the right answer, but in this case I’m glad I switched to Unifi.

ETA: https://evanmccann.net/ubiquiti is the most useful guide. And a key aspect is Ubiquiti is the cloud services are an optional aspect, it won’t brick if they go under.

Affected folks probably know, but: near Honolulu, Hawaii.

Also reported by the Texas Tribune . Horrifying. I can’t imagine what it would do to a kid to spend 1st grade in a concentration camp eating moldy food, instead of in a safe loving home getting solid nutrition, I only hope they can recover.

Gofundme preparing to support them on release. Apparently one of the trumped-up reasons for holding them is they don’t have means of support? I didn’t see a more direct way to help get them out.

I wonder how much of it was vibe coded. And how much the owners will have to give up because of the beach, if anything.

We can stop subsidizing fossil fuels and make EV purchasing affordable. We could even make public transit usable, if we spent $43M/hr on it.

Do we need new laws before impeachment?

I can’t tell if this was a “just because we wanted to” or a “court order” kind of handing over.

I don’t know the channel, but here’s a video titled “US and Israel intercept missiles over Iraq.” Sure is dystopian: a video of farmland with missiles launching from a distant city. No explanations. But it really brings home to me how countries and people are caught between other countries capricious decisions.

But risking legal action or armed retaliation?

If you just run dhcpd on eth0 would that be enough? I’m assuming no based on your answer.

all federalized National Guard troops

So, ICE is still slashing and burning. A little progress though.

If you haven’t already tried biking your commute, keep a close eye on the bike lane as you’re driving. How many delivery trucks or other motor vehicles are driving or stopped in it? Is it clear if gravel, sand, trash, and snow? How would a cyclist make a left turn, and would they have to wait through an extra light cycle? Any potholes, runners, folks with grocery carts collecting aluminum?

Also, typically the laws support taking the lane based on your safety assessment.

If they’re checking resumes for this position as closely as they’re checking them for the armed bullies, maybe I could get the job with 0 legal experience and lose a lot of cases.

Twenty-one Republicans—primarily from the fascistic House Freedom Caucus—voted against the bill. The Democrats responded by supplying the exact number of votes needed to offset Republican defections.

Were the Republicans just unwilling to accept the reduced ICE budget, or actually against it?

“Beginning on the date that is two years after the date of22 the enactment of this Act, no Federal funds may be23 used with respect to immigration detention and24 monitoring programs, including any contract with any entity that owns or operates a program or facil-1 ity that provides services related to detention or2 monitoring.”

What are we doing for TWO YEARS? We don’t need to slowly melt ice, we need to crush it now.

The husband told MPR News that after his wife was taken into custody, he called his attorney, and soon after, he got a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he said he has known for years.

“I was talking to him, kind of venting some of my frustrations,” the man said, adding that he urged the chief to have his officers just be more visible during the federal enforcement actions. “If [local police] were present and they could see you, I promise you their behavior more than likely, or hopefully, would, you know, be appropriate and law abiding.”

The husband says he talked to the chief for a while and “we had a good conversation.”

“He asked me, ‘what was your wife’s name’? I told him my wife’s name. He said, ‘was she picked up in a bronco?’ And I said, ‘I’m not sure, but it was an SUV, dark colored. I’d have to look at my video.’ He goes, ‘I think I got her. I’ll call you back’.”

The husband said a few minutes later, the chief called again, “and said, I got her or I’m bringing her home.”

Seems like personal connections were maybe key, here.

I was with you until “until.” Abolish ICE.

Though that may be the most incremental progress Bernie expects to be possible.

Thanks, good article pointing out where gradual but substantial shifts have been happening. Let’s keep the pressure on, get more bold leaders elected, build community power.

Worth a read, a lot of horrifying and heartbreaking details. Thanks for the archive link, original site had a sign-up modal blocking the article.
